The Queensland University Magazine, later known as Galmahra (after the Indigenous name of Jackey Jackey), was first published in 1911, the same year that the University of Queensland was established. It was a publication of the Student Union. [1]
The first issues were designed with the purpose of “building up University life and chronicling term by term, events of common interest”. [1] In 1920, the magazine changed its name to Galmahra, reflecting a change in the mood of the student body, and certainly of its editorial board. The new name, from the Aboriginal word for “poet, seer, teacher or philosopher amongst the tribes”, [2] suggested “a poetic expression of the spirit of this sunlit-sombre land in which we live” as well as respect for the famous guide of the Kennedy expedition of 1948, known as Jackey Jackey. [1] As well as publishing news relating to the university, it also featured literary articles, reviews, short fiction and verse, some of which was not contributed by undergraduates. It was hoped that the publication would inspire local poets, both of the university and outside to contribute material. [3]
Several years of discord between the editors of the magazine and the conservative Senate of the university, almost led to the cancellation of the magazine in 1925. [1] In 1932, the student's weekly newspaper, Semper Floreat was first published, and Galmahra eventually became an annual magazine. [1] It was suspended between 1951 and 1959, and again from 1969. Some of the featured poetry included works by Judith Wright, Val Vallis, David Rowbotham and David Malouf.

Science Fantasy, which also appeared under the titles Impulse and SF Impulse, was a British fantasy and science fiction magazine, launched in 1950 by Nova Publications as a companion to Nova's New Worlds. Walter Gillings was editor for the first two issues, and was then replaced by John Carnell, the editor of New Worlds, as a cost-saving measure. Carnell edited both magazines until Nova went out of business in early 1964. The titles were acquired by Roberts & Vinter, who hired Kyril Bonfiglioli to edit Science Fantasy; Bonfiglioli changed the title to Impulse in early 1966, but the new title led to confusion with the distributors and sales fell, though the magazine remained profitable. The title was changed again to SF Impulse for the last few issues. Science Fantasy ceased publication the following year, when Roberts & Vinter came under financial pressure after their printer went bankrupt.
