SPRING is here ….
And we’ve given ourselves a FRESH NEW LOOK
The new look is fresh, bold, and contemporary, driven by a striking full-page image that instantly captures attention.

The clean, minimalist masthead and typography keep the design sophisticated and uncluttered, while the clear feature highlights, arts, fashion, homes, local stories ensure strong reader engagement.

This redesign places visual storytelling at the forefront, with a premium, modern aesthetic that feels current and stylish while remaining true to the magazine’s role as an inspiring lifestyle guide for the region.

At Provincial Media, we know publishing at its best.
With premium design, inspiring editorial, and a dedicated team, we deliver the ultimate platform for our customers and readers.

Enjoy

Exterior of the National Centre for Photography

Following the success of Lisa Roet’s ‘Golden Monkey’ in 2023, this year’s centrepiece public artwork is Mumu Mirri – a shimmering moth sculpture celebrating resilience, transformation and interconnectedness. Mumu Mirri is a dazzling sculptural tribute to the Bogong Moth, a vital totem of sustenance and survival for First Nations people.

Spotted … and excited!

We’re thrilled to share that the production team behind a brand-new TV series recently reached out to us requesting copies of Geelong + Surf Coast Living magazine — the region’s premier lifestyle magazine and such a perfect fit for this exciting production.

The Family Next Door, now streaming on ABC iview, follows the story of a stranger who arrives in a Victorian coastal town searching for answers. Her quest to solve a mystery raises suspicions among four neighbouring families…

It’s fantastic to see our region and Geelong + Surf Coast Living featured in the backdrop of such a compelling new drama.

This Ballarat beauty is all about bold architecture and everyday livability.

Think: open-plan flow, layers of natural texture, and spaces made for both relaxing and entertaining. ⁠

Would you spend more time in the alfresco zone or at that stunning island bench?
