This issue takes readers from Australia's shearing sheds to the ice shelves of Antarctica, with stories that explore history, science, adventure, and the natural world in equal measure.

In this issue:

  • Where There's Wool, There's a Way – The shearing shed is one of Australia's oldest workplaces, but it may hold answers to some of the world's newest problems.
  • Ningaloo's Nursery – Celebrated author Tim Winton has dedicated 30 years to protecting Exmouth Gulf. Can he now finally rest?
  • Smashing the Ice Ceiling – It has been 50 years since Australian women were first allowed to work on continental Antarctica.
  • Courage of the Contadini – Australia's earliest Italian immigrants were victims of a fraudulent colonisation scheme in the South Pacific.
  • The De-extinction Debate – Scientists are working to bring extinct species back to life. But do the facts measure up, or is this still the stuff of science fiction?
  • The Lost Kingdom of Shambhala – Throughout our 40th anniversary year, we look back at stories from across the decades. This one's from Jan–Feb 2012.
  • What Adventure Looks Like – Meet the recipients of the 2026 Australian Geographic Adventurer of the Year awards.
  • The Great Unknown – There's still much to learn about the Northern Territory's remote and rugged Judbarra/Gregory National Park.

Exceptional quality and fascinating content!

I really enjoyed this issue! The photography is absolutely stunning, and the main feature about quokkas is both informative and engaging. High-quality print and compelling stories as always from Australian Geographic. Highly recommended!

The best magazine❣️

I’ve always loved Australian Geographic, I’ve been reading it for years. The stories are always relevant and interesting, and keep us up to date on concerns for the environment, and how we can do our bit. Great photography accompanies the articles, making them even more readable.

Five Stars - Outstanding - Awesome

Very Happy with my purchase. It arrived super quick upon order and it exceeded my expectations for quality. Being an easy effort to click - select and receive makes this refreshing nowadays. I ordered for a specific article but was hooked with the additional content. Very Impressed.

Australia the great

The books I bought are replacements for the ones someone stole and I now again have the full collection from number one to the present one. The magazines are the best reading for any Australian or for anybody wanting to learn what this great country has to offer.

I'm trying to build my collection up from scratch. I've been consistent since abt issue 30 and it's great to read some of the older stuff

Thank you for your feedback, it's great to hear you are enjoying the old content.
