OUTBACK Magazine

From wetting a line in an outback creek to vast aquaculture farms, Australians are well and truly hooked on fishing. In the latest issue of OUTBACK magazine, we dive deep into this $5 billion industry in our major feature, exploring the innovations and changes in areas such as abalone, lobster, tuna and recreational fishing. Seasoned OUTBACK reporter Mandy McKeesick, a former abalone fisher herself, takes us from the most ancient fishing practices in the world, through to the most modern industry methods. Our sumptuous Photo Essay this issue marvels at the wondrous, rare filling of the Channel Country over the past few months, and some of the spectacular changes seen from the air as drought-struck stations turn green with the passing floods.
