Have you come across Aurealis Magazine (@aurealisfsf.bsky.social)? The monthly mag is coming up on its 200th issue! The first issue came out in Sept 1990; since then they've published some of the biggest names in Australian SFF. aurealis.com.au/about-us/ #oceaniasff #meanjinin28 #brisbanein28

Aurealis was my second fiction sale, years ago. A couple of times, when they asked for edits, I literally took leave from work to finish a story for them! So to have an editorial and story in this issue is a real thrill.
