Computing With The Amstrad - Australian Edition

Computing with the Amstrad (CWTA) was published in Australia by Strategy Software in Tasmania (this had nothing to do with Strategy Publications in Victoria that produced [[The Amstrad User]]- what is interesting is that Strategy Software used to be in Glen Waverly, Victoria next door to Mount Waverly, Victoria where [[The Amstrad User]] was produced), with the first issue coming out in August 1986 at $3.60 per issue. This magazine was available in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
This magazine was essentially an exact clone of the British version of [[Computing with the Amstrad]], except for some program listings, advertisements, suppliers and pricing - this was all local. Agreements were setup with Database Publications in the UK in order to reproduce all of the content. Even the British covers were used - although usually a few months later.
