His acting career spans six decades – memorably including late-60s counter-culture film, Easy Rider. But he’s also a painter, photographer, writer and art collector. We talk to Hollywood’s Renaissance man, Dennis Hopper.

Also in this issue:

Jill Sangunietti recalls the day everything changed; Susan Hurley reflects on a life lost. With bushfire season still ahead, here are two unforgettable stories from Black Saturday; once, twice…‘Three Times a Baby’: life through the eyes of a triplet; comedian Tony Martin on writing the funny side of life; and Roving Eye roams the remote, faerie-touched realm of the Faroe Islands.

Our ‘Vendor Profile’ is Sue from Brisbane. And we have ‘Streetsheet’ contributions from vendors Cheryl from Melbourne and Campbell from Sydney as well as two Adelaide-based contributors: John a former vendor now in prison, and Missy who writes of her battle with eating disorders.
