The Australian Journal was one of Australia's longest running and influential magazines, running for ninety-seven years from 1865 to its final issue printed in 1962. The magazine began as "A Weekly Record of Amusing and Instructive Literature, Science and the Arts", but gradually became a more focused publication of popular short stories written by Australian writers for readers across both genders and age groups.
