GALAH: Stories of Life Outside the City By Annabelle Hickson (HB)
$69.99
A stunning visual and written anthology celebrating life in regional Australia curated by Galah magazine founder, award-winning writer and editor Annabelle Hickson.
It can be easy to assume nothing much happens beyond the city, if that's all you've known. But that, of course, is far from the truth.
Here, across six themed chapters, journalist Annabelle Hickson shares a different perspective on life in regional Australia, featuring stories from the coast to the farms, from the bush to the towns, from the rainforest to the outback. Annabelle brings together the best work from more than 50 leading writers, photographers and artists from her award-winning magazine, celebrating not only incredible landscapes and remarkable, beautiful places, but also the diversity, resourcefulness and creativity of the people that call the country home.
About the Author
Galah's editor Annabelle Hickson didn't plan to live in regional Australia, but she fell in love with a handsome farmer from western NSW, so she thought she'd give it a shot. She knew there'd be some sacrifices - her journalism career at The Australian, the beach and takeaway food that is still hot by the time you get home - but she had no idea how many opportunities there would be for her in this new life too. While her husband Ed planted pecan trees, Annabelle looked after their three young children, wrote a regular monthly column at Country Style Magazine and published a book A Tree in the House that has been sold all over the world. And eventually the biannual magazine Galah was born.
