Back Issue October / November 2023 (PDF Download)
Relive the beauty of the Southern Highlands with this digital back issue of Highlife.
AN ARTIST’S COUNTRY OASIS
Landscape artist Alexander McKenzie paints his luminous imaginary worlds in a dream Bowral studio. He and his wife Simone show us the striking new property that prompted their move from Sydney.
THE MANY LIVES OF THE MILL
Built as a flour mill by the Throsby family in the 1840s, and used as a convalescent home for soldiers after WWI, The Mill has proved adaptable for nearly 180 years. Owners Jacki and Mike Brooks show us their historic home.
PRETTY IN PRINT
It seems people can’t get enough of Alischa Herrmann’s pretty and colourful designs. Her stationery company, Bespoke Letterpress, continues to expand, with two more stores opening in October.
BOLD MOVES
Mittagong artist and art teacher Louisa de Haas has switched from creating colourful jewellery to making her vibrant mark on canvas. She tells us why a splash of neon makes everything better.
A GARDEN FOR EVERYONE
Heritage roses and camellias and a hedge maze are among many attractions in the garden at Harper’s Mansion in Berrima. Find out why it is much loved by visitors and its volunteer gardeners.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Chef Eilish Maloney explains the thinking behind her ambitious food-focused cooperative, The What If Society, which opened its second store in August.
PLANT A SEED
Harvesting seeds is easier than you think and it’s a cheap way to replenish your garden and dinner table. Kirstine McKay explains the tricks of seed collecting and how not to plant tomatoes.
ONE PERFECT VILLAGE
For 12 years, Huw Kingston has returned to Brisighella, a hilltop village in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. He explains why it keeps drawing him back.
EDUCATION FEATURE
Schools today run a huge variety of extracurricular activities. We asked 11 schools to tell us about special programs they offer.
