History edit
The magazine was founded by Paul Thomson in July 2022.[10] Originally titled Defence Linguist Magazine,[11] the name was changed to its current name after running a competition in the first edition.[12][13]
The term 'yarning' is an Australian English word used to describe the sharing of knowledge and stories in a culturally respectful way with a view to building relationships.[14][15]
