This issue has received the highest number of hits of any magazine in the second series of OZ ARTS. I wonder what was the main attraction? Perhaps it was ROGER FOLEY-FOGG's interview by the wonderful Julian Leatherdale?

GOODBYE, FAREWELL, AUF WIEDERSEHEN! to the treadmill of publishing three ever-new ever-interesting issues a year. Goodbye to the expense, to the waste, to the anxiety! But don’t despair, all issues of OZ ARTS published since 1991 remain available to read, free, on our website www.ozarts.net.au

Now it’s time to move on.

We have entered the era of a brave new and truly exciting world of book publishing. So many tales to be told – past and present stories just waiting to be brought to readers. We can do this by the magic of POD publishing so that anywhere in the world when a book is bought it is immediately individually printed and despatched to its reader. Or, even more efficiently, sent to that reader as an e-pub or an audio book.

OZ ARTS is now joined by new publisher, Parhelion Press, which will find its writers among memoirists and biographers past and present. So many adventurous people, so many unusual lives. Parhelion is a ‘sun dog’ or ‘mock sun’, the glittering spot tinged with prismatic colours formed as sunlight refracts through ice crystals high in the atmosphere www.parhelionpress.com.au

This new venture is initiated with ‘Seeking Henry’, the story of a young woman of the sixties together with that of her adventurous grandfather Henry.

Travel writer and photographer Christine Osborne never stops. She claims that today she lives quietly in the Blue Mountains with her diabetic cat Millie, but here is her latest book, just published. She relates her many adventures in another publication, TRAVELS WITH MY HAT. My favourite story tells of how she was accredited to the Buckingham Palace press corps to cover the Queen’s historic tour of the Arab States and how her blue hat was a landmark for the Queen when she was almost lost in the great bazaar in Nizwa. ‘I was looking everywhere for your blue hat’, Her Majesty said to Christine.

Love the 'final resting place box' i.e. coffin, made for me by Jane Lennon - she has called it Six Feet Under! I'm not planning to use it for anything except a coffee table or storage box for the time being. Early in its incarnation it had wings on its lid and was hung from a tree at a sculpture show at Rookwood Cemetery - Swing low sweet chariot! Come and see her excellent show at Ben Roberts in Lawson - simple (papier mache) but very deep philosophically. Open 9-3 daily except Tuesday.
