THE SAMPLE READING LIST
When it comes to Australian magazines the selection is not that bad. The contents are another matter. Each organisation produces either a magazine, web page, email list or use Net Group listing to post data, so over a week if you hang around the pub long enough you will get some 'tit bit' of data on Australian Ufology.
So what have I got to look or work with?
The main magazines are thus:
