Australian Magazines:
Australian Mountain Bike (AMB): Australias oldest (15+ years and largest circulating magazine, tries to cover all aspects of the sport, comes out Bi-Monthly on the even months.) 

Mountain Bike Australia: Run by bicycling Australia (Roadie mag) an relative newcomer, every 3 months may have a more begineer feel about it.

Freewheel: Comes out when it comes out. approx every 3 months nice printing but you've got to already really be in the sport to appreciate it.

Revolution. Every 3 Months as well, nice paper, nice feel, nice look. Would loose begineers and is aim more at the core riders

Clict. Every 3 Months, more Downhill focused.
