Back Issue April / May 2026 (PDF Download)
Relive the beauty of the Southern Highlands with this digital back issue of Highlife.
The white house
A dream to grow truffles led to Sue and Peter Woodward buying three hectares in Exeter and building an all-white modern farmhouse that makes the most of its setting and views.
A new innings
Cricketing legend Donald Bradman’s childhood home, where he honed his eye hitting a golf ball with a
cricket stump, has been transformed into accommodation.
Beauty in the detail
Catherine O’Neill’s skills in mapping and intricate watercolour techniques have taken her around Australia, the UK and Europe, recording estates and gardens in exquisite detail.
Grow for glossies
Since 2015, Southern Highlands bird lovers have been working to save a threatened local: the glossy black-cockatoo. We find out more about this flighty, fascinating, fussy feeder.
Creative abundance
After ‘downsizing’ to 1.3 acres in Exeter, Eleanor and John Dartnell built garden beds near the house, for interest and privacy, before expanding with aplomb. The result is blissfully inviting.
Upwardly mobile
Kirstine McKay explains the many upsides of helping edible plants grow vertically.
Springett’s centenary
If you know Bowral, you’ll know Springett’s Arcade, but you might not know the enterprising family business story behind it – or that it was once home to a cabaret and ballroom.
Up for a drive
The first in a new series of beautiful drives around the Southern Highlands takes you from Bowral to Bundanoon via the villages of Sutton Forest and Exeter.
Spice of life
Keen to immerse herself in Indian culture, Josephine Grieve joined 10 Australians on a healing and cultural experience in Kerala on India’s Malabar Coast.
