About KUD

A Global Celebration of Country Life & Rural Spirit

Kickin Up Dust isn’t just a magazine. It’s a movement built on connection, community, and the unshakable spirit of rural life.

Proudly designed in Australia, KUD print both locally and internationally so our stories can reach dusty boots and kind hearts wherever they may be. While our roots are Australian, our mission is global: to shine a light on country communities across the world through honest stories, powerful imagery, and a shared love of life on the land.

It’s More Than Pages - It’s People

Every issue is a tribute to the backbone of rural life: the people who rise before the sun, who work with their hands, who carry the stories of generations in their stride. From the red dirt of the outback to the ranchlands of Montana, we gather voices from every corner of the country spirit.

This is a place where your story matters. Where your photograph might stop someone in their tracks. Where a quiet moment on the land can echo around the world.

Open to All Who Carry the Country Spirit

We believe rural life doesn’t belong to just one place. That’s why our submissions are open to anyone, anywhere, who has something real to share - farmers, stockmen, shearers, cowgirls, photographers, poets, bush kids, backyard growers... if the country runs in your blood, we want to hear from you.

Built With Care. Printed With Purpose.

We care about how our magazine is made, just as much as what’s inside it. That’s why we continue to prioritise sustainable choices... from recycled paper to localised printing options that keep things grounded and respectful. While we aim to use vegetable-based dyes where possible, our focus remains on low-impact processes that honour both the environment and the communities we serve.

Join the Movement

Kickin Up Dust is for the doers, the dreamers, the storytellers, and the salt-of-the-earth souls who know the value of a good yarn and a hard day’s work. Whether you're living the life or longing for it, there's a place for you here.

So come along. Be part of something real. We’re not just making a magazine. We’re making history... one honest story & dusty frame at a time.

Kickin Up Dust: Connect. Celebrate. Inspire.
