Feature stories

Fascinating features are at the heart of BILLY. We celebrate artists, artisans, creatives, food producers, organic farmers, wine makers, brewers — all the movers and shakers we’re lucky enough to have in this area.

From Sunbury, through the Macedon Ranges and right up to Castlemaine, there are so many interesting local folks across the region actively making, doing and sending good things out into the world, so there’s no shortage of great stories to share.

BILLY celebrates diversity and welcomes subjects, readers, contributors and advertisers of diverse cultural backgrounds, race, religion, gender and orientation.
