Major renewable energy projects are proliferating in rural Australia, and while some communities and individuals are enjoying the benefits, others are facing challenges. Whether you see Australia’s renewable energy roll-out as exciting, negative or just necessary as the world de-carbonises, it is happening on a grand scale. In this issue’s major feature, we delve into the proliferating Renewable Energy Zones across the country to find out what companies are doing what and where, and the effects of these projects on the ground. Other highlights of the edition include the forestry industry’s Green Triangle; the pyrotechnic priest lighting up inland NSW; celebrating 100 years of Katherine, NT; a stunning journey down the Derwent in Tasmania; and our regular favourites of stations; working dogs, boots, bush kids, pubs, books, art and much more.
