Back Issue August/ September 2023 (PDF Download)
Relive the beauty of the Southern Highlands with this digital back issue of Highlife.
Hillside haven
With its tranquil garden and art-filled home, Stonehaven is aptly named. It’s set on Bowral’s Mount Gibraltar, where trachyte was once quarried, but the garden’s plentiful stone is used to its advantage.
It started with a book barn
It’s 40 years since Leo Berkelouw built a book barn in a paddock outside Berrima, and 10 years since his son Paul boldly converted it into a wedding venue. We ask Paul about the evolution of Bendooley Estate.
Where the wild things are
Many people enjoy the scenery as they walk, run and cycle along Burradoo’s Bong Bong Track, which connects to the Cecil Hoskins Nature Reserve. Photographer Jacqui Davey sees a lot more.
Out on the tiles
The hard surface of tiles provides the perfect fit for Bundanoon artist Virginia Arregui’s depictions of international architecture.
The secrets of Tulip Time
You’ve probably never considered the planning that goes into Bowral’s popular Tulip Time Festival, but it’s a year-long project. Head horticulturist Rod Mcternan takes us behind the scenes.
Bulbs and beyond
Hillview, a one-acre garden in Exeter, was once owned by a bulb specialist and retains thousands of varied examples – as well as many more eye-catching attributes.
Get it ripe
Imagine being able to wander into your own backyard or through your paddocks to gather the fruits of your own little forest. Kirstine McKay shares tips on growing fruit trees.
Tales of an antique dealer
Athol Salter and Jane Crowley, the father-daughter team who work together at Dirty Janes, have collaborated to write a book about Athol’s experiences as an antique dealer in the 1960s and ’70s.
Weddings special
If you’re looking at options for your big day, our annual wedding round-up offers plenty of inspiration for a picture-perfect country wedding.
This is a virtual product. Upon purchase, you’ll receive instant access to download the magazine as a PDF. A secure download link will also be sent directly to your email, so you can revisit and enjoy your issue anytime.
