Southern Life Magazine
Summer 2018 Edition
Abby Von Duve graces the cover of the Summer Southern Life after another big year in the fashion stakes. A Fashions on the Field aficionado, along with Millicent's Brianna Scanlon, the duo has again made its mark on the State and national stage and both share their tips on being race ready in 2018. We also look back at the influence Michael Silvy has had on this community, as a civic leader and a sporting icon. We look at a new festival set to make the Australia Day weekend one to remember, we have a chat to a former local dancer and find out where his career has taken him, we celebrate local gardeners, as well as a large array of social snapshots and wedding memories.
Lake Hamilton celebrated its 40th anniversary and we talk to those who were at the coalface of the project, we also find out what it takes to be an ironman, as well as a brave Robe author sharing her personal heartache and some award winning businesses from throughout the region. It is always inspiring (and sometimes exhausting) to delve into just what makes this region tick and what people from this region can achieve, both here and afar.
