Hello, it’s Elly and Immy here!
 
We thought we’d stop by and say hi.
 
It’s about time we finally put our names to our faces. We apologise for leaving you waiting so long, but we do admit that this is something that felt a bit nerve wrecking!
 
Whilst we have been doing this a long time, and we know so many of you from the lovely messages, emails and phone calls. We had a chronic case of social media stage freight(itous)… we hope it isn’t contagious!
 
Every issue we have the goal with sharing more with you, and whilst we have come leaps and bounds this year, this has been long overdue.
 
As some of you may know, Pip, our lovely Publisher & Editor, returned to full-time teaching this year. She is passionate about her community and beyond that she has a love for education and learning- something that is invaluable.
 
She has loved making the transition, but it hasn’t come without huge sacrifice, as she has taken a step back from the magazine to accommodate the huge workload that comes with her new responsibility. Pip is still in the background, helping mentor us in whatever comes our way! But we know she has left immense trust in us to oversee the magazine this year (thank you for believing in us).
 
We hope to share more about what happens behind the scenes of the magazine on here, to inspire, unite and celebrate what makes small business so special.
 
With love,
The Yarra Publishing team xx

LAUNCHING PLACE HOME HOTEL | Reviving a place to call home

“We came in knowing we were custodians, rather than owners. We understood the pub belonged to the people and we had the privilege of bringing her back to life, respectful of her history but also creating something that would flourish for the next 100 years,” says Neil Shankly.

We’re so incredibly grateful and thrilled to announce that our Spring issue of Yarra Magazine has officially landed in WHSmith stores at Melbourne Airport! ✨

It’s a truly surreal feeling to see our tiny magazine on these shelves. What began as a mission to capture the heart and soul of the Yarra Valley, is now represented to tourists on both a national and international scale.

Elly and I were incredibly overwhelmed and elated last week as we departed ways for our holidays to see our glossy publication front and centre on shelves across the airport. What a pinch me moment!?!

To all the visitors, domestic and abroad, we hope our pages inspire you to explore the beauty, food, culture, and vibrant community that make the Yarra Valley so special. Thank you for supporting our publication. This is a dream come true! ✈️

Cheers to all the adventures that come next 🥂

Love, Elly, Immy & Pip x
