Relive the beauty of the Southern Highlands with this digital back issue of Highlife.

Home delivery
After buying a dream block in Bundanoon, the owners set out to build an architect- designed site-specific home, but found the costs too high. The solution? Building it in a factory.

Art of living
Still-life painter Susan Heslin and her late husband, artist Philip Turton, built a home around their work. In the lead-up to her new exhibition, Susan shows us her home and studio.

Leave it to country women
The Country Women’s Association celebrated its centenary in April, and the Bowral branch is almost as old. Highlands members talk about their branches, and explain how CWA campaigns changed Australia.

Heart and sole
Carole Tilling and her 99-year-old mother Doreen Page decided retirement wasn’t for them after they closed their family shoe factory. Today they hand make shoes in Moss Vale.

Hopewood’s garden glory
The old trees and garden beds at Hopewood House are treasured by owners Janet and Tim Storrier, but the couple have also put their stamp on the historic Bowral garden over the past decade.

Bee positive
Last issue’s house and garden story on Greenlaw in Burradoo prompted us to ask owner Kirstine McKay to write a series about making the most of garden produce. Her busiest helpers are bees.

The fixers
Country shows and parades often include a display of old tractors, trucks and farm machinery. Meet the people who restore, run and drive these mechanical pieces of history.

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.
