Forty South Tasmania - Issue 109

في هذه القضية

From the Editor: Every three months, as the work of editing and designing a new issue of this magazine nears its end, I have the task of choosing a story order. It isn’t always easy: sometimes two or more informed and informative articles, compellingly and often gracefully written, about things essentially Tasmanian sit atop the content list and refuse to be separated. I can say with certainly, however, that I have never had a content list like the one I’m offering you, dear reader, in this issue. Any one of half a dozen articles could lead the magazine, and as I write this I am still scratching my head as to which one actually will.

If I vote with my heart, it will be the fourth (and final, which has me weeping) instalment of the massive Hilary Burden and Peter Marmion co-operative series of essays on the Tasmanian south-west.

If I vote with my head, it will be Sonia Strong’s brilliantly evocative exploration of Flinders Island, and what the Furneaux group means to her.

And if I vote with my stomach, which is always tempting, it will be Julia Matusik’s a la Julia column.
