Computing with the Amstrad (CWTA) was published initially in Australia by Strategy Software in Blackmans Bay, 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 Waverley, Victoria next door to Mount Waverley, Victoria where [[The Amstrad User]] was produced), and later (July '87 - [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/File:CWTA-AE-Jul87Page66.jpg hence no June issue due to too many takeover delays]) by Planet Publications Pty Ltd (still in Blackmans Bay, TAS) with the first issue coming out in August 1986 at $3.60 per issue. This magazine was available in Australia, New Zealand, across the South Pacific and even South Africa.
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.
