Australian 4WD Monthly is the only one I subscribe to, about the best of the Aussie 4wd mags. 4x4 Australia have lost the plot over the last 4 or 5 years and should probably be renamed NissOta ARB Soft Roading 4x4. I was an avid reader with every issue for about 12 years.
At the end of the day new 4x4 articles are nice but overdone as are extrem 4x4s that most will never have. Focus needs to be on regular 4x4s and mods with projects and easy mods most people can do.
Get some of the Pommy 4x4mags sometimes.
Reg get Australasian Dirt Bike, Motorcycle News.
Used to get Australian Geographic, one of the best mags out, sometime overgreen but genuinely a great read. Will have to resub that one.
Burkes back yard sub (free from Telstra) not as good as Better Homes & Gardens though.
Religiously used to get Street Machine, Street & Strip etc and have a huge collection of them sitting in my cupboard from issue 1 up until mid 90's. Anyone wanna buy em?

My only suscription is ANALOG Science Fiction and Fact.

All the others I only buy if there's something of particular interest

I've been subscribing to Aus 4WD monthly for about 4 years now. I think I have every issue.

There was a 'Pootrol' patch there that every issue had a GQ Pootrol with a full-of-it owner with wankey tyres and ridiculous lifts (good to laugh at when it falls over on the track

). I went through my older copies and they always had a LR in almost every issue and the articles in the earlietr days were more factual and interesting.

Roothy's articles are good amusement, plus he's a Queenslander so he can't be too bad bar the fact he drives a rust bucket 'Cruiser

.

Overlander mag is okay, a pity the forum is full of tossers and know-it-alls. 4X4 Aus is too soft cock and anti-LR if I ever did see it.
