Just picked up my copy this arvo. Went straight past the "mag in a bag with DVD", got home and settled in with a cold one for a quiet read. Was forced to put it down to eat dinner. I reckon its great. This mag and the latest tv series are top notch. The photograghy/camera work on both are just stunning. The articles are a great read and well written. A quality mag that embraces the touring 4wd'er and all that goes with it.

I may only be new here, but, regardless of your opinion on Pat's work, who can honestly say that after watching an ep of the show or reading the mag, they didn't have a huge urge to just get out there...I know i did.


Congrats Pat. Keep em coming. :cup:

Good read.

Unfortunately Aust Geographic seems to be going the other direction. A lot more advertising then it use to.

Agreed, I let my subscription lapse.  Tried to cover too many bases IMO.

Bit dissapointed Pat.

Bought Issue one of the magazine, liked it, subscribed for 10 issues.

Last week, got my DVD's and key thing.  Very happy.

Yesterday get a copy of Issue 1 in the mail.  Not very happy.  Especially if that's counted as 1 of my 10.  I already have it.  Do the mailers not think that we may have got issue 1 and that's why we subscribed.  Now i have 2 copies of Issue 1 and it's too expensive to post to "Lost" or return and I've wasted $12.

Wonder how many others will get the same.

Picked up the mag on our way to the "Tight Lines" trip on Friday. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on which way you look at it) I didn't even get  to flick through it because we were having  too much fun. Starting reading it yesterday and the first thing I noticed was the fact that I was actually reading it, not just flicking pages like I do when I buy those other mags. Forced myself to put it down because I needed to do other stuff and when I went to find it again it's disappeared!! I think Scott snavelled it to take back to work, the bugger!!!

I must say it is a nice magazine visually and I can see it becoming a regular buy if not a subscription. As long as you don't cover the same destinations over and over again like the others and the standard stays as high as Issue 1.

Besides I am obligated to support a fellow bunnies supporter!!

Congrats Pat  :D

On hols up in central qld. Got it up here the other day. Great mag! Read pats editorial to start and was fist pumping the air by the end. Agree 100% with everything he said. Same goes for the glover article about the gas hub in the kimberley, fantastic work. Finally a non redneck 4wd mag!  I am getting a subscription for Christmas.

Only criticism is the crazy fonts Everywhere. Didn't like that. Otherwise awesome. And happy to pay $ 12. want in a mag More locations to visit and history etc. Less gear reviews. More travel writing and opinion peices .
