Last weekend we had the privilege of experiencing the red carpet opening of Cluedo The Play at Her Majesty's Theatre Adelaide  — and what a magnificent night it was.  A little history… Her Majesty’s Theatre has been at the heart of Adelaide’s cultural scene since 1913, beautifully restored to continue welcoming world-class performances while honouring its rich heritage.

On International Women’s Day , I’ve been reflecting on that simple but powerful word — journey . Life rarely follows a straight path.

Standing here overlooking the breathtaking Flinders Ranges , I’m reminded that someti

Did you know that one of Adelaide’s most charming attractions has been cruising the River Torrens for almost 90 years?
