Australian Country Homes - LAST CHANCE

You dont want to miss this issue!

As the British poet and critic Edith Sitwell observed, “winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home.” And so, welcome to our winter issue, in which we celebrate all there is to love about cosying up for the cooler weather and creating the perfect environment for staying snug. We’ve looked to a clutch of historic homesteads for inspiration, from Vacy Hall in Toowoomba and two fabulous stations in the South Australian mid-north to the magnificent residence on Moira near Deniliquin and a manor house in Inverell in north-west NSW. But we haven’t overlooked more modest dwellings that also provide design insights. We feature a townhouse in inner Melbourne with a cool Hamptons aesthetic, a cottage renovation in Condobolin in western NSW, an ode to Africa in Richmond on Sydney’s north-western periphery and a lightkeeper’s house on the Great Ocean Road. Our service feature provides the lowdown on the latest in heating your home and keeping warm when it’s cold outdoors and there are a host of looks pages so you can replicate the styles featured in our profiles.
