APHELION

APHELION
   Australian magazine, Summer 1985/6 to Summer 1986/7, 5 issues, ed Peter McNamara from Adelaide, BEDSHEET-format. One of many short-lived, quixotic Australian attempts to produce a viable sf magazine in a country with a population too small to support one, A soon failed, but honourably. Good stories by George TURNER, Greg EGAN, Rosaleen LOVE and, most often, Terry DOWLING, were among the better work published in an uneven magazine. McNamara has gone on to publish well produced sf books by Australian writers under his SMALL-PRESS imprint, Aphelion Publications.
