'''Computing with the Amstrad ''' (CWTA) was published in Australia by Strategy Software in Tasmania Glen Waverley, Victoria in mid-1986 (this had nothing to do with Strategy Publications next door in Mount Waverly, Victoria that produced [[The Amstrad User]] - what is interesting is that Strategy Software used to be ) who then later in Glen Waverley, Victoria next door early 1987 moved to Mount WaverleyBlackmans Bay, Victoria where [[Tasmania. The Amstrad User]] magazine was producedlater published (from June '87)by Planet Publications Pty Ltd (still in Blackmans Bay, with the TAS). The first issue coming out premiered in August 1986 at $3.60 per issueand the last issue being December 1987 (16 issues in total). Due to the change in publishers in June '87 there [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/File:CWTA-AE-Jul87Page66.jpg was no June issue due to various takeover delays]. This magazine was available in Australia, New Zealand and , across the South Pacificand even South Africa. Strategy Software didn't disappear - they still provided hardware and software products for the rest of the magazines life (and beyond perhaps?). Some software released by Strategy Software were (games): NIGHTMARE PARK, HOUSE OF HORRORS, CRAZY MAZE, PHARAOH'S TOMB, SHIFTY, SPELLBOUND and (graphics) GRAPHIC MAGIC.
Like the British version, later issues incorporated [[Amtix]] (from July '87 Amtix and Amtips were featured). December 1987 was the last issue produced (even though the original British one continued until it became [[CPC Computing]] in September 1988 and was eventually rolled into [[Amstrad Computer User]] in January 1989). Throughout production, the Australian version used the older style British CWTA logo (pre-Oct 1986). It is unknown why the magazine ceased or what happened to Planet Publications Pty Ltd (dissolved April '88) - as subscriptions rates were growing by 20% a month it was claimed in July '87. There is a news article from [[The Amstrad User]] that reports the ending of this magazine [http://cpcwiki.eu/imgs/7/72/TAU_38Page9.jpg Here] as concerned readers were contacting The Amstrad User in relation to not seeing/receiving further issues of CWTA from their paid subscriptions. The magazines closure was sudden and without warning. ''The following magazines below reference the British version for their content: August 1986, September 1986, December 1986, January 1987 & February 1987. This will change when these magazines are located - they are difficult to find.'' == Covers Magazine Scans ==
