The Bush Journal Issue 08

"Our newest edition examines coexistence in all its wondrous forms: between neighbours, friends and animals; and with nature, history and ghosts of our past.

We travel around the country - from organic cattle properties in Central Australia and regenerative flower farms in western Victoria; to historic sheep properties in western New South Wales and innovative seaweed farms in Tasmania. We meet saddlers, bootmakers and woodcarvers, along with artists, posties and ultramarathon runners (who moonlight as goat farmers)."

Bush Journal is an independent publisher that celebrates the beauty of rural Australia through exceptional photography and meaningful storytelling. We produce keepsake magazines, fine art prints, and creative content for brands.

Editor Jessica Howard grew up on a cattle property in Central Queensland, and after working as a journalist and TV producer in Australia and abroad for two decades, she returned home determined to tell stories that meant something to her. In 2021, she co-founded the rural photography group Beauty in the Bush Collective, and went on to produce a book with them, Bush Life.

Bush Journal sprang from the Collective and began as a newsprint publication, before transitioning to a keepsake magazine and content studio. Our main aim remains the same: To explore life beyond the city limits and amplify the creative voices of rural Australians.
