Forty South Tasmania - Issue 98

En este asunto

A considerable part of Issue 98 can be described in words never before associated with Forty South Tasmania: self-serving, egotistical, puffed up …

What do we have to be narcissistic about?

The answer is fortysouth.com.au. We have been taking Tasmanian to the world for almost 25 years via a glossy magazine published once every three months. Our new website is an extension of the magazine: same content, same quality, same values. And it’s a beautiful website to look at, so you could even saw it’s equally glossy.

But it has one massive difference: it isn’t constrained by page numbers, freight times and the costs of physical publishing. This magazine is not going away. Like a lot of Tasmania-lovers, I like my physical Forty South, served with a comfy chair and a cup of coffee. If a three-month wait for your next dose of Forty South is a little too long, however, if you think you’d like a daily dose to go with your three-monthly dose, have a look at fortysouth.com.au – and watch us grow.

The website has been nine months in the making and we are so proud of what we have achieved, and the work which went into making it, that this issue of the magazine is something of a celebration. We are singing our own praises, and we hope you will, this once, tolerate the flag-waving and champagne-popping.

I promise that from Issue 99 all smugness will be back in the drawer and it will be Tasmanian business as usual.

Hang on, then there’s Issue 100 to follow. Better replenish the champagne stocks …
