Welcome to the exciting relaunch issue of Vacations & Travel
This issue, the first published by Signature Media is dedicated to new horizons, whether that’s the remote gorges of Karijini National Park on a hike through Western Australia, or a wildlife-spotting expedition across the African isle of Madagascar.
Our team of editors and writers have sailed around the world with an Olympian, skied America’s top resorts, eaten their way through Griffith and Bendigo, and laced up their shoes to trek across Tasmania – what a way to see the world.
Readers will also have the chance to WIN 10-day Hurtigruten Expeditions Cruise around Norway for two, valued at more than $22,528!
I hope this issue – our first (and revamped) Vacations & Travel in the Signature Media portfolio – inspires you to slow down, linger longer, explore our own backyard and enjoy the simpler pleasures that life has to offer, whether that is… a delicious glass of wine, spending the day in good company, or feeling connected to the people and places we visit.
