20.01.2022 For those that don’t know Dr Rebecca Olive, she is an original contributor and great supporter of the Great Ocean Quarterly.

18.01.2022 One of our favourite stories in Great Ocean Quarterly's 'Lost Eighth' edition is Lorin Clarke's look back at family holidays and bodysurfing with her father, the much-loved satirist and writer, John Clarke. She's shared family photos and memories with Great Ocean Quarterly for this moving and often hilarious tale. Tomorrow morning at 6:15, Lorin talks to Ross Stevenson on 3AW Breakfast about her father, and her family's bodysurfing rituals. 693 on your AM dial in Melbourne, or find on digital.

17.01.2022 Each volume of Great Ocean Quarterly includes an instalment of the Church of the Open Sky series. Here's an excerpt from the Church of the Open Sky from Volume 1:1, featuring Laura Hill. Words by Jock Serong, photos by Darren Longbottom. **... When Laura’s done, and the hum of the old Fender DeVille amp fades, we talk about that warmth, the mysterious combination of the old church’s acoustics, the vintage amp and the Telecaster. Laura smiles and reaches around behind the amp, saying feel the valves they’re warm. Later, when Shane Howard’s producing Laura’s song, he picks up a valve from a little dish on his desk, peering at it reverently. They’re amazing little things, he says. Valves do the even-numbered harmonic distortions. Transistors do the odd ones, but it’s the even-numbered frequencies that resonate in us. That’s why we love valve amps. In the silent open country of Tyrendarra, there’s a tiny church. Inside the tiny church, there’s a singer with an old amp, and inside the amp, there’s a small glass tube. Inside that tube, a glowing filament somehow creates sonic warmth. It’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. ** Since her appearance in Volume 1:1, Laura Hill has gone on to win a swag of awards, including the People’s Choice Folk award in the South Australian Music Awards and the ABRA Blues and Roots album of the year, both in 2018. Her most recent album is the raw, honest and beautifully captured Secrets. Church of the Open Sky returns in ‘The Lost Eighth’ issue.

17.01.2022 He's come up for air! After being several fathoms deep in building this jaw-dropping new volume of art, ideas and the sea over the past month, our Creative Director @micksowry has surfaced to deliver us an update on The Lost Eighth. Spoiler alert: it's a staggeringly beautiful piece of work. #Repost @micksowry... Yesterday I picked up proofs from the printer of our Lost Eighth edition of Great Ocean Quarterly. A last look over the weekend, the odd tweak, and it’s roll the presses. Not long now! . . . . . . #artideasandthesea #greatoceanquarterly #photography #ocean #oceanlife #photooftheday #crowdfunding #journal #printed #printisnotdead #fortheloveofprint #greatoceansoftheworld See more

16.01.2022 Each volume of Great Ocean Quarterly included an instalment of the Church of the Open Sky series. Here's a look back at the very first Church of the Open Sky from Great Ocean Quarterly’s Launch Issue, featuring SHANE HOWARD - GOANNA. Words by Jock Serong, photos by Mick Sowry. **... St Brigid’s forces you to reconsider identity, says Shane. This place no longer has a religious identity, but it’s now a place of cultural identity. It still holds memories of church and weddings and baptisms and funerals. It’s still a sacred space. There are kids running around the altar as Shane records the song on a Sunday afternoon. Chips are crushed into the carpet by little feet as his voice reverberates through the cavernous space of the barrel vault. The distractions don’t bother him. The recording is flawless in one take, but he does another anyway because he’s enjoying himself. Community’s at the heart of our humanity, says Shane. We’re social beings. One of the things we lose with the collapse of religious structures is ritual. So we have to rediscover a sense of ritual, and music’s a lovely way to do it. ** Since his appearance in Volume 2:1, SHANE HOWARD - GOANNA has gone on to release further albums including 2015’s Deeper South and Dark Matter in 2020. In 2016 Shane was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for his service to the performing arts and to Indigenous musicians. Church of the Open Sky returns in ‘The Lost Eighth’ issue.

12.01.2022 It’s out in the wild! Limited copies of The Lost Eighth now available from our friends at Boom Gallery in Geelong. It was only through the magnificent support from so many friends, partners, ocean lovers and businesses like Boom Gallery that this volume is now out in the world. We're feeling the love for The Lost Eighth and hope that it's bringing much joy to old salts and land lubbers alike.

10.01.2022 Crowdfunding is hard (as we've discovered) and so is restoring a 117 year old tall ship. In the shadows of Bolte Bridge, Melbourne the Alma Doepel team are doing both.

10.01.2022 Tomorrow 9am: HUGE pre-Radiothon show for you! The Beach is back! Dr Beach looks at mesocosm predictions of what marine life might be like in elevated CO2 futur...e. Then we catch up with Dr Surf to talk about what surfers do when they can’t go surfing. This could get interesting. Mick Sowry is a true artistic treasure of the ocean creator of art films ‘Musica Surfica’ and ‘The Reef’ and artistic director of ‘Great Ocean Quarterly art, ideas and the sea’, a magnificent publication created for ‘sea affected lives’. We'll talk with Mick about creativity during a pandemic, the very exciting long awaited ‘Lost Eighth’ edition of Great Ocean Quarterly in preparation, and getting some big blasts of saltiness that we all need right now. Space and the ocean are often described as the frontiers of science. But why have we mapped more of the surface of Mars and the Moon than the ocean floors of our own planet? ‘Oceans vs Space: the battle of the final frontiers’ is an online debate happening this week where Astronomer Kat Ross and adventurer James Dingley will argue the case for each frontier. We’ll catch up with James Dingley in Perth who is going into battle for our oceans in this fantastic National Science Week event.

08.01.2022 A big thanks to Vin Maskell and Bendigo Writers Festival for your kind words about The Lost Eighth!

07.01.2022 Celebrated author Favel Parrett is another of our Launch Issue contributors. We were honoured to have her grace our pages with a tale of her voyage to Macquarie Island and the sub-Antarctic. Now a great friend of Great Ocean Quarterly, a champion of dingoes, and a regular coffee pal. Her latest book ‘There Was Still Love’ was the 2020 Indie Book of the Year, and runner up in the Stellar Prize. Thanks for taking the time to support our Lost Eighth edition!... https://www.pozible.com/profile/great-ocean-quarterly/

06.01.2022 Each volume of Great Ocean Quarterly included an instalment of the Church of the Open Sky series. The idea was simple: Find a sacred place. Add a singer, a song and the sea, and watch the magic happen. And how it did, every time. Here's a look back at the Church of the Open Sky from Volume 1:2, featuring Archie Roach. Words by Jock Serong and images by Mick Sowry. **... The chapel on the Framlingham Reserve sits in a gentle bend in the road, a proud and simple timber structure. It’s not especially denominational there’s no cross atop the nave; inside there’s no altar, no sacristy or choir. In front of the half-dozen pews old, dried and cracked there’s a carved timber pulpit, and above it on the rear wall is a print of Da Vinci’s Last Supper. The feeling inside the chapel is one of austerity, but warmth. Archie assesses the space as he walks in, sighing softly. Following some inscrutable sense of his own, he heads for the far corner and faces the light of the opposite windows. He’s handed a guitar, and settles comfortably over it. He’s been on the road, playing the Port Fairy Folk Festival this weekend to huge audiences. The demands on his time and talent are constant, but the is no sign of fatigue. This song brings me a lot of peace, he says. A lot of comfort. The old ones always ask for it. Old Aunty Gwenny, who brought me back here when I was eighteen or nineteen, she cries when she hears it’. ** Since his appearance in Volume 2:1, Archie Roach has gone on to release the albums Let Love Rule, Dancing with my Spirit, and the 3CD box set of live recordings called Archie Roach The Concert Collection 2012-2018. Archie’s memoir Tell Me Why was the winner of the 2020 Indie Book of the Year Non-Fiction. Archie Roach is the 2020 VIC Australian of the Year. https://soundcloud.com/great-o/achie-roach-old-mission-road Church of the Open Sky returns in ‘The Lost Eighth’ issue.

04.01.2022 Wow Nikole Ramsay Photographer, what a way to show off your copy of The Lost Eighth! We're feeling the love for the new volume, which has started to arrive in mailboxes this week. All pre-orders as part of the Pozible campaign have been posted out, but due to... you know, #2020... the mail is a bit slower than usual. We hope you think it's worth the wait!

03.01.2022 Such are the lengths we go to, when we capture the great ocean for you. #Repost @micksowry A little happy madness to push the drive to fund The Lost Eight Edition of Great Ocean Quarterly. I wandered down with my unprotected iPhone, swam out with it aloft, and did my best not to dunk it. Regardless, GOQ is distilled to this. A chance for a dive into some peace, from a comfy chair.
