On a recent drive through the countryside near Gawler, I stopped by the historic grounds of Roseworthy Agricultural College, where the date 1883 still appears proudly on the original buildings — a wonderful reminder of South Australia’s rich agricultural heritage. Established in 1883, Roseworthy Agricultural College was Australia’s first agricultural college, created to provide practical education and research to support farming in the young colony of South Australia.

On International Women’s Day , I’ve been reflecting on that simple but powerful word — journey . Life rarely follows a straight path. There are twists, challenges, opportunities and moments that shape who we become. For many women our journeys include building businesses, caring for families, volunteering in our communities, supporting others and following the passions that guide us forward. Standing here overlooking the breathtaking Flinders Ranges , I’m reminded that someti

Adelaide welcomed some beautiful, much-needed rain today — the gentle kind that freshens the air and makes everything feel alive again.

A soft drizzle, umbrellas along the jetty at Henley Beach, and the sky glowing in golden tones as the evening settled in.

🏛 HISTORY FRIDAY | Murray Street, Gawler Standing proudly on Murray Street, this grand building began life in 1873 as the Bank of Adelaide branch — one of the most impressive and expensive buildings in Gawler at the time. Solid stone construction. Spacious rooms. High ceilings. Detailed ironwork. It was described in the 1880s as “one of the chief ornaments of Murray Street.” And when you step inside (thank you to Gawler History Trust for preserving those early images), you c

For sinking your feet into warm sand. For breathing a little deeper. For letting the noise fade away and remembering how good it feels to simply be.

Did you know that one of Adelaide’s most charming attractions has been cruising the River Torrens for almost 90 years? The beloved Popeye first set sail in 1935, built by Captain Gordon Watt right on the banks of the Torrens. Named after the famous cartoon character of the time, this 25-foot wooden boat began ferrying passengers between Elder Park and the Adelaide Zoo — and a South Australian icon was born. As crowds grew, so did the fleet. Between 1948 and 1951, four more wo

Koalas are nocturnal mammals, and like all mammals, they give birth to tiny, underdeveloped young called joeys. After birth, the joey instinctively climbs into its mother’s pouch, where it continues to grow safely for around six months. When it emerges, it rides gently on her back, clinging to her fur as she moves through t
