A Year of Transformation: Catching Our Breath at Australian Badge Guides

If the silence on the blog lately has been noticeable, it’s for the best possible reason: we have been completely consumed by a whirlwind of activity. This has been a true year of transformation for Australian Badge Guides. We have been working literally around the clock to move our operations to Amazon, bridging the "tyranny of distance" to ensure these histories reach fans across the globe. Between the technical hurdles of international publishing and the rigorous demands of production, our time here on the blog has admittedly fallen off—but the results are finally ready to share.

Under our new banner, new stable-mate and author, Gary Newperson, has been revitalizing the study of Australian sport and heritage with an unprecedented lineup of new work which we have been working assiduously with him to edit it to our exacting standards. We are finally coming up for air, and I plan to take a deep breath tomorrow to give you the full download on everything we’ve achieved so far in 2026. From the tribal heart of Rugby League to the iconic trails of our coastal towns, there is so much to catch up on.

Check back tomorrow for the full story behind the move, the mission, and the massive collection of new books for 2026 now available to the world. Best, Mark. The one man battle has now become two - thanks, Gary!
