Australian Women's Weekly

The Australian Women's Weekly, published by Australian Consolidated Press (part of PBL), is a monthly women's magazine published in Australia and sold mainly in Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, it is commonly known as "The Weekly".

Note that unlike its overseas counterparts, women is in the plural, and the magazine comes out monthly, not weekly.

It typically contains feature articles about the modern Australian woman, as it has done over the past 70 years (since 1933, started by Frank Warnecke ). It is usually 240 pages long and printed on A4 glossy paper . As of 2005 it costs A$5.95 in a supermarket, and is slightly more expensive on the subscription.

The current editor is Deborah Thomas, who has this position since 2000. Other editors of the Weekly have included Ita Buttrose and Jennifer Rowe.

The Women's Weekly in any era was and is known for its cookbooks, which are sold in supermarkets and newsagents. Recently these have become of a smaller format than they were formerly, and contain many multicultural and forward-thinking recipes.

Some Weekly columnists include Patter (Pat McDermott), Robin Barker (author of The Mighty Toddler), Jackie (gardening), Lee Tulloch (writes an expatriate column).

The Weekly is also known for its monthly fiction and it has recently started a book club, parellel to Oprah's book club.

In the 1990's, PBL launched "Women's Weekly's" in Malaysia and Singapore. These follow the AWW's style, and contain largely local content. These magazines thrived, and continue today (2005).

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to magazines.

Start by looking for your science kit review or science toy review. Compare prices but remember, Price $ is not everything. Quality does matter.
