Magazine & Podcast
Yarns stories,
as told.
An eclectic collection of curated stories about unusual people and places, from Australia and around the world, told, mostly, by the people who lived them.
What is Yarns?
A tapestry of real life, told in its own voice.
Yarns is a quarterly magazine of dreamers, romantics, creatives, travellers and adventurers, people who have walked the walk, sharing their own unique ways of experiencing life. Alongside them: the places and things that complete the story.
It began with Petra’s love of adventure, human stories and a deep connection to the land, a belief in the goodness in people, and in our power to uplift one another.
