We announced TimberTrader News had expanded circulation to cover South Australia and Tasmania, and our lead article in February was a round-up of organisations commenting on the overall feeling of optimism for the new year.

The 30th Anniversary Landmark Edition of TimberTrader News celebrates the rich history of the monthly magazine that has become part of the fabric of the Australian timber industry and also recognises the many hundreds of people and businesses who have graced its pages over the years. This article is part of Greg King’s impressive 30-year chronicle.

By now TimberTrader News has broadened circulation across Australia with many inquiries coming from potential readers from Sydney, Brisbane and beyond.

Here we go! Advancing into a modern image with the introducation of an A4 magazine replacing the tabloid of our first 46 issues. I was terrified it wouldn’t be accepted by the industry – I shouldn’t have worried.

The same old, same old for ’91? Far from it. Just look at our line up of covers for the year. The Barker Brothers (Don, Alan, Jeff) from Daylesford Sawmill; Marshall Segan; Richard Brooks and Robert Bain; Thorry Gunnersen; David Fallshaw and his sons Tony and Mark; Ted Riddle and John Duncan; Jack Bowen; Alan and Myriam Webster; Ron Salamito (otherwise known as the saw doctor); David, Ross and Jim Gay; and Norm Day, king of the timber crayons.
