Summer 2018 issue on sale now

Homes

Built at the end of the Victorian era and an excellent example of the style, Bella Vista enjoys features not commonly seen in Mildura’s residential areas.

Profile

Perhaps it’s not altogether surprising that 98-year-old Lorna Bysouth has never really settled into the idea of a safe and predictable life.

Motoring

Mildura’s Downes family trio has a passion for cars of the past, and between them boast an impressive collection of old, rare and collectible automobiles. 

Food

Summer in Mildura is not just about the unforgettable temperatures of 40 degrees, it also brings with it an abundance of fruit and vegetables. 

Garden

This cleverly designed garden has ‘rooms’ which lead the eye forward, not knowing what is behind the beautifully manicured hedges of Ligustrum undulatum. 

Local Growers

Keen to encourage anyone to have a go at home gardening, John warns once bitten by the bug they might be in the garden for a long while.

Collector

Jan can’t remember which mouse was the first one in her collection. They are all very different, which makes it much more interesting collecting them.

Art

The Australian Print Triennial delivered a rich diversity of ideas in the practice of established and emerging printmakers, a forum to debate issues and trends and advice to artists about selling work.

“Mildura Living showcases the very best of our region. It celebrates the positives, which makes it really stand out in the traditional media market. Featuring Council projects and services on the pages of Mildura Living is a great way for us to get our message out to locals and visitors alike.”

“If you want to reach a large and smart section of Mildura people, people who care about this place and its history, you could not do better than advertising with Mildura Living. Stick with passionate people and you are better off!”

Mildura Living Autumn issue will be on sale in early March

From the team

Summer is for slowing down and enjoying the good things in life. In this issue of Mildura Living, you’ll find everything to get you sorted, from starting your own fruit and vegetable garden, to planning your next driving holiday and so much more. As always, we meet some amazing people, like Lorna Bysouth, who at 98, has many a story to tell. Lorna will remind you that life is truly what you make it. With heart-warming candour she reflects on life and loss during the depression and war, while revealing her unwavering belief in family and love. We also find out how local foundation Chances For Children is changing the lives of young people in our region and how those, who were once recipients of Chances’ support, are now returning the favour. Mildura has some beautifully restored old homes and in this issue, we’re lucky enough to get a tour through two fine examples. Old they may both be, but they’re dramatically different and the restorations have captured their uniqueness while not compromising on the modern-day comforts we’ve come to expect. If it’s holiday escape that you’re after, we’ve investigated the delights of Coffin Bay, we’ve got the best of summer fashion, from pool to party and we’ve even got your holiday reading sorted. So sit back, relax and read about the best of Mildura Living – food, gardening, home, fashion, décor and of course, the people.

Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. The Mildura Living team

PS – the author of our featured book, The Nowhere Child, in ‘A Good Read’, will be in Mildura on Thursday December 13.  It’s a great chance to hear from Christian White about his story and the writing process.

A glossy, full colour, sophisticated lifestyle magazine showcasing the best of Mildura and the Sunraysia region. Published quarterly, inline with the seasons, Mildura Living magazine has a focus on style and aspirational living and will take pride of place on even the most discerning of coffee tables.
