BY THE WAY...

30.01.03 Monument magazine is now owned by 7 Network's Pacific Publications after its previous owners Terraplanet rode into the sunset. From the look of Pacific's website, they will remain committed to it for now, but how well does this title sit next to stablemates That's Life, New Idea and Total Girl?
