Take a moment to listen One of the most meaningful things for our family business is when a guest takes the time to share positive feedback — and even more so when they pass it on to the organisations we’re proud to support. We’re proud sponsors of 91.3 SportFM   — a Perth-based not-for-profit community radio station providing a unique and much-needed service to the local community, including giving grassroots sport the airtime it deserves. A big thank you to the 91.3 SportFM

This delicate dainty swallowtail butterfly chose a citrus tree as the perfect place to lay her eggs — if you watch closely, you’ll spot her carefully laying two tiny eggs. A quiet moment of wildlife, right there in the garden. Make sure to listen to the background sounds of birds. South Australia is rich in nature — from local wildlife and peaceful gardens to stunning beaches and so much more. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect. When yo

The excitement is building in Adelaide as we count down to the return of the Santos Tour Down Under  , riding into South Australia from 16–25 January Across the state—and especially here in Adelaide City—there’s a real buzz in the air. The city is looking incredibly welcoming for visitors and competitors alike, and when you drive down King William Street, you simply can’t miss the fabulous Tour Village signage proudly announcing this world-class event. It’s always a delight t

As promised in our New Year post — here it is. Our 2025 recap, brought together in one VIDEO celebrating a year that was busy, meaningful, humbling and incredibly rewarding. This video showcases just some of the many moments we’ve been involved in throughout the year — across tourism, networking, collaboration, friendships, and community connection. It also reflects the environmental projects we were proud to engage in — from supporting nature, growing and nurturing plants,

While many slow down over Christmas and New Year, behind the scenes we’ve been quietly preparing for the next Trees For Life (SA)  growing season. Over the past few days, we’ve mixed 8 boxes of soil with fertiliser and carefully filled 480 individual soil tubes — ready for the next stage of our journey: sowing each seed and species by hand. Every tube represents a future native tree A small action today, for healthier landscapes, stronger ecosystems and a more sustainable Sou

Today we pause to celebrate the joy, connection and quiet magic that this season brings. To our cherished guests, friends, and supporters — here in South Australia, across the country, and around the world — thank you  for being part of our story in 2025. Whether you stayed with us, shared our posts, recommended us to a loved one, or simply followed our journey, your support means more than you know. Wherever you are today — gathered with family, exploring somewhere new, or t

After the warm days we’ve had recently, our birdbath at Country Style Louisa has been a popular stop This time, a rainbow lorikeet — one of Australia’s most colourful Australian native birds — came in to visit. Earlier there were two enjoying a refreshing bath together, such a joy to watch that we couldn’t help but grab the camera. This little moment was captured afterwards — just one lorikeet on its own, pausing, drinking, and soaking up the calm of the garden. These are the

It’s been a little warm in South Australia this week — and just as the cool change rolled through, we were lucky enough to capture this beautiful moment. A Murray magpie stopped by the birdbath at our Country Style Louisa home in Gawler… food still firmly in its beak (a moth perhaps!) while sipping away, likely on feeding duty for some hungry young ones Not willing to let the meal go — even for a drink! Watch Video HERE These quiet, special moments are what make staying her

Following on from our visit with Mary at the Peterborough Print Shop, today we’re sharing more about the remarkable Intertype machine she spoke to us about. Mary shared the history of this particular machine — including that this one came from England, not America, and how the differences can be identified. It was fascinating to hear how these machines were once central to producing newspapers and printed material for regional communities, playing a vital role in how informat

A Little More From Our Visit to Peterborough A fortnight ago on History Friday, we shared our visit to the wonderful Peterborough Printing History Museum — and today, we’re excited to bring you a little more from that experience. This time, Mary takes us deeper into the world of the Cropper Printing Press, the beautiful foot-treadle machine we showed briefly in our first story. After looking further into its history, I’m even more amazed by what this humble press meant for sm

There’s something truly special about spotting emus wandering freely with their adorable chicks trotting closely behind. Watching a devoted father emu guide his little family through native grasses and open South Australian landscapes is one of those unforgettable moments that makes you pause — a reminder of how incredible our wildlife really is. These gentle giants are often seen across regional South Australia, and yes, even within a 50-minute drive of Adelaide if you know

🖨️ Step back in time at the historic Peterborough Times Printing Office, built in 1887 and now lovingly operated as a working museum by the dedicated  History Group. Set out exactly as it was throughout the 20th century until 2001, the print shop features original presses, inks, tools, paper stock, old templates and thousands of printed items. What was once layered with grease and grit has now been carefully cleaned, restored and preserved for future generations — a true lab

Last Sunday, (2/11/2025) Adelaide’s beloved Regal Theatre marked an incredible 100 years, and what a fabulous celebration it was! A full house gathered, including special guests such as Andrea Michaels MP, Minister for Arts in South Australia (among other portfolios) — a fitting representative for a day celebrating community, creativity, and connection. The Regal first opened on Sunday, 2 November 1925, and has stood proudly at the heart of Burnside ever since. In 1928, it wa

We were delighted to welcome our lovely international guests from Italy last week — they even took the time to write a beautiful message in our guest book, in Italian. It’s always such a joy to welcome visitors from around the world and help them feel truly at home here in South Australia. These guests arrived on a late international flight, but that was no problem at all — we’d already arranged their personal check-in at 11.30pm, ensuring they could settle comfortably after

Recently, we had the chance to stop by Kapunda and see this magnificent work of art coming to life — a true celebration of South Australia’s history and community spirit. Even before it was finished, the detail was breathtaking! The mural, created by talented artist Smug (Sam Bates), beautifully weaves together stories of Kapunda’s farming and mining heritage — honouring the hardworking people who helped shape the region. It’s a stunning tribute that now stands tall as a land
