Australian Country Collections 13.4

In the latest issue of Australian Country Collections we showcase one of Queensland’s most historical and magnificent properties, Jimbour Station. We also continue our annual winter warmth feature and look at decorating with purple, the colour of royalty, before taking a look back at The Great Depression in a new exhibition at the Museum of Sydney called ‘Skint’. There are also great recipes, lots of collectables and much more.
