Travel, Outdoors —
Nathan McAndrew
The climbing community is so forthcoming and friendly. If you are stuck and, can’t figure out a climb, people are more then happy to help. Here is how to get started!

From the desert to the ocean, pub feeds and gambling to waterfalls, ocean swims and cowboy camping.
Hannah Davies
We surrender to the idea that we are on a journey and let the force of the journey guide us instead.
James Rowlinson
As holiday makers scratched their heads while we waited on the tarmac, I grinned patiently and studied the green mountains on the horizon while mentally marking valleys which might form a river deep enough to scrape down in a kayak.
Grace De Keersmaeker
Olive and I decided to pack a bag, some snacks, a couple of sleeping bags and head down to the ocean. Entering a new year…
Romaan Asche
Whilst in New Zealand, I didn't have those feelings as much, I was conscious to read more, walk outside and hangout with my family.
Holly Blackmore
Six products you need to pack next time you hit the road <3
Emily-Layne Kapetanovic
It seemed as if the mysterious Byron Bay was merely a distant place in the forefront of my imagination.
Music —
Leo Sayer. What more do I need to say. An absolute 70’s icon who our parents danced to, and now, we dance to. Live Nation and Pavilion really pulled through when they announced him as a headliner for one of the eleven April Sun covid safe events – eleven days and nights of dancing by the sea in St.Kilda.
Melbournian duo The Indigos have just shared their fiery, dynamic single ‘She’ — written for anyone who has been through the hurricane of an all-consuming love.
Equal parts evocative punk and shoegaze sensation, Local Authority have delivered once again with their latest track ‘Forever, For Now’.
This avidly awaited debut EP from Melbourne musician Quiet Blue is nothing short of immersive. From start to finish, Before Dawn propels you through the enigmatic phenomena of night-time reflection.
There is nothing that Perth band Death By Denim know better than oozy synth-driven tracks that get stuck in your head – over and over again. Their debut album Sleepless And Sunkissed is no different, offering listeners a glimpse into a summery haven with mixtures of light and dark.
New Zealand local Lontalius steals the limelight with his latest album Someone Will Be There For You. This release comes off the back of collaborations with the likes of Brockhampton and Nick Ward, and explores the more stripped back side of things, written in his old bedroom on an acoustic guitar.
Holly Blackmore (Lazuli)
A compilation of songs that have defined my past month as I moved North again, coming to terms with new shores and secrets shared.
If you’ve read one of our interviews with Maddy from Velvet Bloom, chances are you’ve heard Alex’s name – he is VB’s very talented lead guitarist. However, his debut EP takes his instrumental talent that one step further.
Aaron Lee, aka the multi-faceted “DIY ALT-POP” entrepreneur who goes by AIRPORTS made us miss the pre-covid days more than ever with his recent single ‘Party All The Time’ featuring R I L E Y.
Thoughts, Ideas —
Mercury represents communication and transportation — the messenger. So when this planet is in retrograde, we are more likely to experience issues with mail, travel plans, contracts and language.
Words by Farquhar Macdougall (& images by Zoey Blackmore)
The choices we make,
Ripple across all life forms,
Imprinting itself.
Holly Blackmore
It takes only twenty minutes under the moon to forget any thoughts of peroxide perfection, to forget the two digits in my bank account, to feel the tears well.
Devaraj (Farquhar) Macdougall
An exchange of energy, through my palms. I feel like I’m being pulled down into the depths of the rock; pulled down to where all the ancient secrets lie.
A pile of birthday cards set alight on New Year’s Eve. A month’s worth of sand in my sheets. This bed is too big for one person but it may never know another.
The full moon carries the energy of release, creating space for realisation and growth. We’ve put together some easy & accessible ways to get in touch with this lunar influence.
Lazuli
Musings on the rediscovery of unconditional love. I try to hold myself under the weight of the water, beyond the weight of the world.
Georgia Rooney
I’d tap three fingers on the wheel, especially when I turned corners, which would be turned with the perfect executional nature of careless, but safe enough to feel so. I would change gears knowingly, and every now and then, would feel two green eyes on my left hand as I did it.
Ashleigh Imms
Growing up as a 2000’s baby, I feel almost embarrassed that I didn’t start understanding my personal impact on the planet until just over a year ago. I vaguely remember learning the term ‘carbon footprint’ at some stage in school, however back then it meant nothing to me.
Locals —
{Aidan Miskella}
When you think of the 70’s, you think of bell bottom pants, disco, roadtrips in a station wagon or van, and last but not least, corduroy! There is no fabric that screams 70’s like corduroy does

{Interview by Bridey Ellis}
“I will always be creative, I will always illustrate, I will always use my skills to relate to those around me, I just have no idea where it will lead me.”
Lara Smith is a twenty-two-year-old talented art director and illustrator from Melbourne.
Holly Blackmore (Lazuli)
I’d only known this driver for three weeks, but we were moving our lives north together. There were nine hours of highway ahead of us, and two empty rental rooms behind us.
