What makes a winning mullet? Dean Southwell talks to the woman behind Mulletfest to find out.

It takes a lifetime to learn how to think like a trout, to understand its universe. And yet Sam Shelley knows the object of his obsession is all in his mind.

Still life, with flowers

The remnants of a Victorian-era garden and the story of its ill-fated owner have inspired an artist and accidental farmer.

Issue 11. Pleasure

Galah Issue 11 is a big 176 pages, full of beautiful images and fascinating stories from regional Australia, all centred around this issue’s theme of ‘Pleasure’.

Read about life’s most pleasurable experiences: from brunch to books, gardening to sex (not necessarily in that order), and passion projects in all their crazy forms.

So you think you’ve seen a snake

Plus egg scrambling and a real Crackerjack. Welcome to Galah Weekly, our award-winning newsletter keeping you up to date with regional headlines that matter, plus other delightful things from life beyond the city. By Dean Southwell, who is having snakey nightmares.
