Australian Gourmet Traveller is a monthly magazine owned by the Australian media company Are Media.[1] It was founded in 1966 as The Australian Gourmet Magazine and changed multiple names before acquiring the current title in 1988.[2][3] Circulation in 1999 was about 80,000 copies as the magazine re-oriented to cover the local food options.[2] While dominating in Australia in 1990s, its positions have been threatened in the 2000s, as many new titles have appeared (like "Delicious" in 2002) .[4]
Each issue of the magazine includes multiple food and wine articles, reviews of the restaurants, recipes and interviews. Half the space is occupied by the advertisements. There is also a travel section with 3-5 short articles emphasizing food.[5]
