In our July issue, The Weekly is shining a light on rural Australia with none other than our vibrant cover star AND Guest Editor, Edwina Bartholomew!☀️🌻
As Guest Editor, Edwina delves into her reasons for choosing a life on the land with her newly "free-range" family. She brings together 12 creative women from the countryside to share their joys and challenges of country living over a long lunch, and returns to her hometown of Whyalla, where she discovered a steelworks in crisis and a community rallying together.
Plus, we're celebrating the International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026 by highlighting the women keeping Australian agriculture alive.
In an Exclusive interview, Georgie Tunny and Rob Mills open up about their happy ever after as new career moves, wedding bells and discussions of a growing family await.
