Issue 12 - January 2011

Happy New Year! and Happy Australia Day on the 26th.

   Welcome to our first issue of Good Gabble Newzine for 2011. We are looking forward to an amazing year full of positivity and fun times. This year is going to be a big year for all at Good Gabble with our plans for the year being revealed in our February issue.

  This month has seen us busy as usual as we fit our usual writing, typesetting and editing around the festive season. I am pleased to announce that this issue has gone together without hiccup or to much stress. Check out our travelling blog http://gabblingaroundaustralia.blogspot.com to find out where we were when we compiled our January issue.

   So what do you have to look forward to when your copy arrives?

  This month we meet 'The gentleman of history', Brenton Manser. Brenton is a South Australian singer/songwriter and producer. I met Brenton late last year and was impressed with the person he was and all he stood for. Over the first six issues of 2011 we will be publishing a series of articles by Brenton titled "In order to know where you are going, you need to know from where you've come."

  On page 23 Innovative Industries pays tribute to the initiative of Obon Industries. Obon has create a great range of  stationary products that are made from recyled news paper and sugarcane paper. Why sugarcane paper? Grab a copy of Good Gabble to find out more.


  Turning back a few pages to page 20 we pay tribute to the great work that Ron Prasad, one of our regular writers, is doing helping staff at The Lost Dogs Home. Ron's article "A Walk In The Park" can also be seen on page 16.

 As well as all of our regular features, Lovatt's puzzles and kids page, this month we learn about Gardening For Your Health and Gina Lake tells us why Happiness Is Being In The Present Moment.

So grab your copy, sit back, revitalise the mind, body and soul after a hard festive season and enjoy. We look forward to receiving your feedback.

Live well...Love well...Laugh often.....
