Super Summer Edition: Coming and Going…
Posted Dec 25th, 2008 • Category: Big Issue Magazine • By Elise Moore
Edition 319
Packed with fiction, features, bonus crossword and what to expect in 2009, our summer edition is perfect for sunny days – and rainy ones too.
Also in this issue:
‘Life Classes’: After working as a teacher in a remote Aboriginal community for three years, Felix Clark is leaving. Following ‘Clouds Over the Desert’ (Ed#295) and ‘Sorry Camp’ (Ed#304), he now reflects on what he’s learnt; in ‘Sunset with Razor Wire’, Jess Letch describes how, for aid workers, coming home can be the hard part; and in ‘Roving Eye’: sun, sand and surf feature in these cheeky photographs from Australian photographer, the late Rennie Ellis.
Our ‘Vendor Profile’ for this edition is John C from Perth. We also have ‘Streetsheet’ contributions from Kelly W from Adelaide, Sharon M and Disco Dave from Melbourne, Lillian from Sydney and Brisbane’s Peter W, as well as an image of the winners of the sixth Homeless World Cup: Afghanistan.

I’m very interested in Felix Clark’s three stories. I read the first two of these when they came out with great interest myself as I have had several fleeting visits to remote communities to visit people working there. I am also particularly interested in obtaining these if possible, because the son of a friend of mine is currently in his second (and last) year teaching in a remote Aboriginal community. Although he’s close to his parents, he doesn’t write much! I think these stories would be of great interest to the parents in gaining an idea of Campbell’s life at present. Is there any way I could get copies of Felix’s three articles in editions 295, 304 and 319 please?
