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.

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
