Cover art depicts a hazy scene overlooking bushland. A majority of the image is taken up by a foggy sky tinted with a white/grey/orange glow, with the lower third of the image depicting green shrubbery. At the top of the image in the foreground is a blurred clothesline with pegs scattered across it. A towering gum tree stands tall in the middle distance on the left edge of the image. The image is overlaid with a fine grain, suggesting use of a film camera or filters.
Image is an abstract photograph depicting splatters of matter with glowing flecks of long-exposure light layered over the top. The background is rust-coloured, the splatters glowing as if camera film negatives were held in front of a light-bulb. There are dark patches strewn throughout the image. The glowing flecks of light overlaid give a sense of chaos. It looks as though we are seeing matter in a Petrie dish through a microscope.
Image is the cover of TSR’s issue #40 ‘Untrue’, overlaid on background imagery of a grainy photograph of a dark sky with sparks from a fire in motion.
Image is TSR’s issue #39 ‘CLIMATE’ overlaid on a background. The cover is a painting of two crabs in portrait orientation, facing one another from above and below. Their front pincers meet at the centre, as if they’re holding hands. It is painted in an expressive style, streaked with warm tones of pink, yellow, orange, and brown. The background is awash in the same colour palette, giving the impression that the crabs are lazing about on a warm, sunny day. Bright yellow flecks on their backs come to the fore, appearing like dappled sunlight. The background image is a textured gravelly surface, like bushland dirt. It has a bright aquamarine green tint to it, though some of the rocks in the dirt do not have this filter and are white, creating a speckled look to the background and giving an illusion of looking through sunlit clear water in a creekbed.

It is with heavy hearts that we share that TSR is winding down in 2026. While the journal has received small project grants, no operational funding has been secured and project commitments have stretched our already lean, yet passionate team. We thank you all for your incredible support over the years, and are doing everything we can to ensure that TSR gets the last hoorah that it deserves with issue #42 NOISE to be released in August.

We have launched an ACF fundraiser to help us publish our final publication. If you can donate, we would be greatly appreciative. Hills Hoist Volume 5 has now been launched and can be purchased here or you can support TSR by purchasing past issues for just $10.95.
