For the tender pages of issue 39, we found some family-sized love from some very different parent-kid combinations, giggled at quirky portraits of seriously beardy men, wrote odes to suburbia, and looked back at the past 12 months with creatives like Myf Warhurst, Karen Walker and Sally Seltmann. We ate lots of ice cream for a road test, looked at pretty Lomo cameras, learnt how to make our own woven necklaces and met lots of creative Australians living in Berlin. Plus all the usual artiness and craftiness, random laughter and real-life reads, including chats with Sofia Coppola, Sleigh Bells, Warpaint, Tim Minchin and Senator Bob Brown.
