Outback is a Monthly Newsletter for
Lesbians, Dykes, Gay and Bi-sexual Women.Working hand-in-hand with Cornwall Lesbian Line
it is run solely by volunteers.
CLL started in August of 1989 and is a phone help-line for Women. CLL provides Advice, Guidance, Referrals, Information and Support to Women who are or think they are Lesbians. CLL also gives advice to Lesbians visiting Cornwall and provides an important "be-friending" service. If you would like further information about CLL you can contact them via "Outback".
| Outback Newsletter - Background and Herstory. |
In 1995 a group of women decided that Cornwall not only needed the dedicated service of CLL, but also another form of getting information to Lesbians in Cornwall. After several community meetings it was decided to produce a "local" Newsletter for women, running in-conjunction with CLL, but offering a community spirited form of contact and information, which would extend to women in rural or isolated areas.
The first issue of Outback was produced in August of 1996 and has been an essential part of the Cornish Lesbian community ever since. It is produced on a monthly basis by a very small group of volunteers, who give up their time and energy for this vital service. The Newsletters subscription/purchase costs are kept low, to make it accessible to women who are on low incomes, though Outback relies solely on subscriptions and any donations it receives.
| Outback Website. |
Outback Website was created by a volunteer on the Outback team and 'upped' to the Internet in January 2000.
| Outback Newsletter - Cont'd |
The Outback Newsletter is A5/C5 (booklet) in size and contains anything of interest to Lesbians, not just those living in Cornwall.

OUTBACK COSTS £1.50 PER ISSUE! |
The Newsletter is not a "fancy" production, and doesn't aim to be. The content is aimed for the diverse Lesbian community, whose diverse tastes give it a friendly and fun feel. Outback is to many women a "Life-Line" and is designed to give local women, holiday makers, or other dykes information about Cornwall.
Outback contains Articles and Features, News and Reviews, Contacts and Letters, Quiz's and Competitions, What's On and Where to go, Adverts and Information on Local and National Help-lines or Services, as well as contributions from the local community themselves...
