Coal Coast Magazine Issue 15, March/April 2022

The last two years have afforded many the time and desire to explore close to home, and for our cover photographer Keelan Orrock, that led him to the forest floor – delving deep into Dharawal Country. That fantastic fungi on this issue’s cover is one of the many intriguing species you may find on a walk through the wilderness. This issue is filled to the brim with plenty to do, see and eat, as well as some creative stars pursuing their passion to high acclaim. Plus a little shout-out to any local companies doing it tough right now. We know firsthand from speaking to our advertisers this issue that many are feeling the knock-on effects of what has been a tumultuous time, to say the least. As a community, let’s get behind these homegrown businesses we love. We’re in it together.
