Comfort and Joy (Special Christmas Edition)
Posted Dec 7th, 2009 • Category: Big Issue Magazine, Current Issue • By DanielleIt’s time once again for our annual ‘Big Wish You’, in which magazine vendors all around Australia reflect on the year past, look ahead, and thank supporters for their help. This year our cover stars are Glenn P and Jam, from Sydney.
Also in this issue:
In ‘All Creatures Great and Small’, a remarkable Roving Eye, we feature some of the best wildlife photography of the year; ‘Sam I Am’ features Australian actor Sam Worthington, now virtually famous in the new movie Avatar; while in ‘The Lone Piper’, Helen McKenzie reflects on her late father and the power of music – yes, even bagpipes music.
Our ‘Vendor Profile’ is Donna from Melbourne. And we have ‘Streetsheet’ contributions from: Mark A in Adelaide, ‘Mystified’ in Melbourne, Phil in Canberra, John in WA and Dennis in Canberra as well as a photograph of Perth vendor Adam speaking at a recent supporters’ function in WA.
