Welcome to the Summer issue of Coal Coast Mag – your go-to guide for all things local, sunny, and oh-so-special in the Illawarra. Summer is here, and with it comes longer days, balmy nights, and plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy everything our beautiful region has to offer.
OK, first up, let’s talk about our exceptional cover by Austinmer artist Pat Grant. No doubt you’ll spot a new detail every time you take a look – it’s got that ‘Where’s Wally’ meets Coal Coast vibe! A huge thanks to the team at Scarborough Boardriders that kindly allowed us to share this illustration with you all. It’s a cracker.
Whether you’re looking for fresh ideas for a summer adventure or just want to discover something new, we’ve got you covered. In this issue, we meet the team at late-night eatery Roy’s Restobar (pg 10), the creative crew at The Future Artifact in Port Kembla (pg 22) and get the inside tip on who to check out at the Illawarra Folk Festival (pg 34).
We’re also sharing some tips to help you make the most of the season – from suburban wine bars to barefoot bowls, there is something for everyone. And for our younger audience (and their grown-ups) – check out our Family special issue with awesome ideas for the holidays. Hot tip: Flip the mag over and you’ll find it on the other side!
As another year comes to an end, a massive thanks to our readers – we are so grateful for your support and kind words. Righto – grab a cold drink, put your feet up and dive in! Enjoy this issue – we hope it inspires you to make the most of a brilliant summer ahead!
