STYLE NOTE

-

Welcome to this fantastic edition of Style Magazine! As the weather has warmed up, the Style team has been busy both in our air-conditione­d office and out in the heat to make sure this issue is a great journey for you, our readers. Not only have we been scouring out all the best events and Melbourne Cup happenings, but we also have a very special story to share. When Lyndal Johns had a blood transfusio­n that was supposed to save her life, she never thought it would mean living with HIV for the rest of her life just from a doctor’s tragic mistake. Now the oldest surviving HIV victim in Australia, our beautiful lady shares her story and relentless optimism on pages 8 and 9. This month we also catch up with some inspiring local mums who rode over 400km. After hearing how difficult it was for people in rural and remote communitie­s to access heart health facilities and testing, these close friends pulled together a group of about 30 and cycled from Brisbane to Meandarra to raise funds. Read all about their journey and friendship on pages 10 and 11. With the arrival of October comes the spring horse racing carnival, as well as many other events as we start heading into summer. We’ve dedicated this issue to everything you’ll need for the event season — from keeping safe in the sun (p32) to fashion trends (p28), to a new look at the typical fascinator (p21). So grab a cuppa or cold drink, put your feet up, and enjoy the October edition of Style Magazine Til next month,
