Distribution
10,000 copies of Aurora Magazine are distributed free each month.
We distribute our paper strategically to ensure we are well placed for strong readership amongst
both locals and visitors to the Great Southern region.
You can pick up a copy from the Albany, Mount Barker and Walpole-Nornalup visitors centres, as
well as the Albany ANZAC Centre. We are also available from the Albany, Denmark, Katanning,
Mount Barker and Walpole public libraries. Almost 1000 copies are put directly into the rooms of
accommodation venues throughout the Great Southern.
We also have the following major distribution points:
Albany: Clarks News Agency, Coles (Albany Plaza and Orana), Dome Cafe, Plaza Lotteries, Puma
Service Station, Royale Patisserie, Spencer Park IGA, The Naked Bean, Woolworths (Chester Pass
Mall and Bayonet Head), and York Street IGA.
Denmark: Raven’s Coffee. We are also available at The General Store at Youngs Siding and the
Elleker General Store.
Mount Barker: Supa IGA and the Plantagenet Wines Cellar Door.
Walpole: Pioneer Store IGA and the Treetop Walk Gift Shop.
We have over 100 smaller distribution points, so there’s a good chance your favourite local cafe,
vineyard, boutique, hotel, gallery or corner store will have some copies on hand.
