This week, we’re welcoming a new addition to the Advertiser family.

The Island is a free colour magazine available in cafes, restaurants, stores, accommodation providers and attractions, as well as everywhere you buy the Advertiser. Copies are also available from our office at 60 Chapel Street in Cowes.

Its focus is entirely on Phillip Island and San Remo, and the people who call it home.

After such a tough year, we decided it was time to celebrate where we live, revisit some of our favourite stories and share some tips and insights to help visitors make the most of their stay.

This is the first of many editions – and hopefully The Island will become part of all our lives.

Please, sit back, relax and enjoy The Island.
