The Captain's Log (Australian newsletter)

See Captain's Log for other zines with the same title.
The Captain's Log is the newsletter for Austrek, the Australian fan club that is the second oldest continuously operating Trek club in the world.
It contains Trek and general science fiction news, reviews, letters, articles, club news, information on social activities, regular meetings and special events, and upcoming conventions. In 1999, the fanzine won a Ditmar Award (formerly known as the Australian Science Fiction Achievement Awards) in the category 'Best fanzine'. In 1998 and 2007, it was again nominated for the award. SwanCon
It was called Trekkie Talk for two issues (Dec.1976/Jan.1977) before becoming Captain's Log in February 1977. At that time, the numbering starts with #1 again. National Library of Australia
In later years, the numbering was dropped, although more recently the numbering of each issue was resumed at about issue #330.
