Computing with the Amstrad (CWTA) was published initially in Australia by Strategy Software in Blackmans BayGlen Waverley, Tasmania Victoria (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 in Mount WaverleyWaverly, Victoria where that produced [[The Amstrad User]] was produced)who then by early '87 moved to Blackmans Bay, Tasmania and later (July '87 - [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/File:CWTA-AE-Jul87Page66.jpg hence no June issue due to 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.
