We also have a great new destination and experience-led website that is packed with great stories on the many incredible destinations that Rex flies to. Check it out at rex.trulyaus.com

In this issue, we’re out to inspire you with wonderful things to do and see in spring, as there are so many amazing destinations that you can fly to within an hour or two.

City-wise, we dive into thriving, bustling Brisbane, get the lowdown from a local on all that is happening in Hobart, and dip into some ways to explore stunning Sydney.

We also head out into some peaceful national parks in the ACT where you can unwind and recharge, and leap into charming Griffith, which has its Spring Fest coming up in October.

Then there’s the beautiful Adelaide Hills, where you can indulge in lovingly made Australian produce – from artisan chocolate to cool climate wines and limited edition gins and liqueurs, we have your tastebuds well covered. The many galleries, cafes and stores brimming with the work of local artists makes it a perfect weekend getaway for gourmands and art-lovers.

We can’t get excited about spring without exploring the many offerings of New South Wales, which, when the warmer months roll around, is blessed with huge expanses of fields bursting with the joyful hues of canola. A great place to check out the spectacle is in Parkes, where you can also visit the famous Parkes Radio Telescope – otherwise known as The Dish.

We also travel far up north to Burketown – a small locality in the Gulf of Carpentaria which is a remarkable place to learn about the traditional owners of the land, the Gangalidda Garawa people.

In AusBiz we look into the conservation of the dingo, check out some game-changing agricultural innovations, delve into the future of lithium production, and consider how the pandemic impacted first home buyers. You’ll also find a truly fascinating story on the link between Alzheimer’s and your retina.

Enjoy this issue and drop us a line anytime –we love hearing from our readers.
