In 1964, The Beatles made their first visit to Australia and The Weekly were one of the first to speak with the Fab Four.

In 1946, our trailblazing fashion editor, Mary Hordern, flew to Europe to bring France's greatest haute couture to Australian shores.

"I learnt at the feet of giants".

In an age where it was only men who held the cameras, pioneering Australian Women’s Weekly staff photographer Adelie Hurley would break boundaries – and produce some incredible imagery at the same time.

To celebrate 90 years of The Weekly, visit our exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery! Open from Saturday 27th May until Saturday 27th August.
