ADELADY’S FAVE THINGS

Our faves WORDS Millie Looker

Vibe Hotel Adelaide

A few local finds that we love.

O

n any given day, our DMs are exploding with questions asking for recommendations on where to eat, sleep, drink, stay and play. And boy, do we have a million and one answers, because SA has so much to offer!

But there are a few spots we just keep coming back to. Here are a few of our favourite things, quickfire style, for YOU to enjoy.

Juggle House Experiences

Kelly from Juggle House knows all the best SA experiences back to front — not to mention she’s bundles of fun and the ultimate tour guide! With countless tours on offer, it can be hard to choose. We LOVED the Dark Sky Gold Stars Sunset Dinner, which includes a guided tour of Ngaut Ngaut Aboriginal Archaeological Cultural Site and phenomenal star gazing; and the Jurlique Farm Tour and Hills Gourmet Picnic, which leads you through the biodynamic farm that’s home to one of the world’s most recognised skincare brands, and ends with wine and a long lunch. jugglehouse.com.au @jugglehouseexperiences

Pickle in the Middle

Conveniently located directly behind our office in Unley, we love Pickle for so many reasons — and not just because they keep us caffeinated! This is an incredibly reliable spot for an A-grade brekky or lunch, with gluten-free and vegan options aplenty.

And you’ll get a pep in your step when you walk in and see the smiling faces of owners Luke and Carli, and their fabulous team.

Do yourself a favour and try their Pickle in the Middle Sandwich. It’s truly next level! pickleinthemiddle.com.au @pickleinthemiddle_

to: Ben Goode.

Pho

A newbie to the Adelaide city staycay scene, this hotel brings all the good vibes. It’s located in the Flinders East precinct and guests can choose between Premier Suites, Urban Retreat Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Guest Rooms, each complete with amenities. Some even feature a tub by the window! With Storehouse Flinders East restaurant downstairs for delicious dining, a stylish heated pool and smack-bang in an ideal location, what more could you want? vibehotels.com/book-accommodation/ adelaide/hotel-adelaide @vibeadelaide

DoughBalls

Doughy, carby, flavour-packed goodness. That’s DoughBalls in a nutshell! We’ve been big fans since they swung open the doors of their first restaurant in Glenelg, and it’s been fabulous to see them expand with a restaurant in Mawson Lakes and pop-up at Paxton Winery. If you love pizza, you’ll love DoughBalls!

Best enjoyed with a signature DoughBalls dessert to top it all off. doughballspizza.com.au @doughballsau 3 -

Every single detail has been carefully considered for your ultimate enjoyment, and by the end of the stay you’ll feel recharged, restored and a million miles away… esca.com.au/inman-valley @esca.au

Lady Burra Brewhouse

We love this iconic bar and restaurant in the CBD for a lot of different reasons, but their latest offering has us buzzing. Introducing Lady Burra Seltzers, made in their on-site microbrewery. They’ve absolutely nailed these babies, which come in passionfruit, mango, lemon and lime, and native peach and lemon myrtle.

Uber-refreshing and with the perfect amount of fizz, we’re calling this the drink of summer! ladyburrabrewhouse.com.au @ladyburrabrew

Blow Out Style & Bar

We’re SO jealous that we didn’t think of this biz idea first (even though we have no hairdressing or bartending experience, lols)! Blow Out Style & Bar on Unley Road is Adelaide’s first hairstyling salon and bar, combined into one glorious location. Get your hair washed, blow dried and styled, and your makeup professionally applied, while sipping on a cocktail and a bite to eat. Great for hen’s parties, wedding prep or just when your hair is needing some love.

Hot tip: head to Fine Food Cucina with an empty belly, because you’ll want to sample everything in sight! This classic Italian eatery is tucked away in the backstreets of the northeastern suburbs, and offers incredible meals and paninis to eat in or take away. And if you’re just racing through, pick up a freshly made lasagna to take home for dinner. Lauren also swears by their porchetta, which she pre-orders for family functions.

TRAVEL: DIVINE DOMES

WORDS Hayley Pearson It’s new, it’s shiny and it’s absolutely diiii-vine!

W

ith the sea to your left and vines to your right, Divine Domes McLaren Vale offers four five-star luxurious bed and brekky glamping tents with all the frills. The location couldn’t be better, as you have perfect views of Oliver's Taranga and the world-famous d’Arenberg Cube on the horizon.

The first of their kind in South Australia, the domes are architectural marvels, which have been designed to blend nature and comfort, seamlessly. They’re all super spacious and have been styled to perfection with fancy king beds, mini kitchens and magnificent bathrooms.

And all four domes have a clawfoot outdoor bath! Can you imagine?

The magic really begins when the sun goes down. Each dome features a transparent ceiling, where you can look up to the starry sky from the comfort of your warm bed, or even from the shower.

If you're thinking, who are the deadset legends that brought these domes to Adelaide? Husband and wife owners Tom and Annamieke Wilds made the move from Brissy after falling in love with our gorgeous state a couple of years ago.

“People thought we were crazy moving

states at our age, but we’re so happy we did it and now all our friends and family want to move here, too,” says Annamieke.

The pair always wanted to have a quirky accommodation and now they’ve made that dream come true in the heart of one of Australia's most popular wine regions — it’s the icing on the cake!

Highschool sweethearts Tom and Annamieke believe life is meant to be enjoyed. “It’s about escaping the ordinary and detaching from the everyday grind.

Get naked in the bath, enjoy a glass of wine, put a fire on and have a good time — that’s our idea of heaven,” says Annamieke.

Their warm personalities and passion for design really come through in the accommodation, having both designed two of the interiors themselves.

So let’s do a reccy mission to each of the domes…

TRAVEL: DIVINE DOMES

WILD PEACOCK

Their only all-accessible dome with wide doorways, soft furnishings, adjustable bed and the most stylish bathroom you’ll ever see. Baz Luhrmann’s wife, Catherine Martin, designed the stand-out wallpaper, which makes this dome extra cool!

WILD SPIRIT

MARRAKESH

This dome embodies the true Moroccan spirit and is like something straight out of Casablanca! “We searched far and wide all over SA for authentic Moroccan antiques — we even have a leather piece of art on the wall from a tribesman in the Sahara,” says Annamieke.

“You can cosy up next to the fire or sit out on your deck and just be at one with nature.”

LONGHORN

This dome has a real South American feel to it, with Texas Longhorns on the wall, cowhide-covered chairs, Native American rugs on the floor and cacti to finish it off. This one will have you dreaming of chicken-fried steak and ranch dressing.

“GET NAKED IN THE BATH, ENJOY A GLASS OF WINE, PUT A FIRE ON AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.”

Well, this one has Adelady written all over it! It’s colourful, boho inspired and has a relaxing feminine feel to it. You can just imagine waking up in the morning, looking out to the gorgeous vines while your better half brings you a latte in bed.

When you’re staying at Divine Domes McLaren Vale, you’ll probably spend a fair chunk of time in their thoughtfullydesigned old-timey barn. “Our barn has been lovingly built to create an earthy and rustic space where our guests can come enjoy a drink and a platter, make a wood oven pizza, or fire up the barbie — and it’s happy hour every Friday and Saturday night,” says Annamieke. Tom and Annamieke will bring the wine; you bring the company.

Whether it’s stargazing through the transparent ceilings or just soaking in the magic of the Vale, Divine Domes McLaren Vale is a one of a kind. Bring your lover, bring your tribe and have a family reunion — there’s endless space to unwind, explore and just “have a good time”, as Tom and Annamieke always say. @divinedomesmv divinedomesmv.com.au 7 -

TRAVEL: HOTEL ALBA

Adelaide’s new urban retreat WORDS Felicity Allan There’s a new kid in town and she’s got everyone talking.

Her name is Hotel Alba.

A

transformation has been happening along South Terrace over the past couple of years and the end result has now been revealed. This haven right in the heart of Adelaide was worth the wait!

Hotel Alba sits on the fringe of the parklands and the city, with vastly different yet equally impressive views on both sides of the property. The hotel provides an urban retreat like no other in town. As you enter the foyer and gaze across the restaurant and bar out to the glistening pool, you’ll easily imagine yourself checking into a resort somewhere in the Mediterranean. It’s seriously cool and geared for ultimate relaxation.

THIS IS THE HOTTEST PLACE TO BE AND BE SEEN IN ADELAIDE!

Sleep

Boasting 99 guest rooms, Hotel Alba has a choice of Park Side or City Side rooms to suit your needs. All rooms feature a private balcony with views of either the parklands, cityscape or pool. No matter which guest room you choose, you won’t be disappointed when you step inside. The rooms are luxe, with accents of blue and soft grey tones, with light brushed gold accents. Stylish, cosy and perfect for either business or pleasure, each room is well-equipped with a smart TV, complimentary wi-fi and coffee pod machine. If you’re after a little more space to relax, then you must check out their Sanctuary King room!

It’s super lush with a daybed overlooking the pool.

TRAVEL: HOTEL ALBA

Splash

The focal point of the property is the pool, and our prediction is that it’s going to make a big splash on the party scene this summer. With an expansive lawn area, clear blue water, poolside lounges and cool tunes, this is the hottest place to be and be seen in Adelaide! They’ve planned a fun-filled calendar of interactive activities, such as paint and sip events, live music on Friday nights and an everrotating South Australian gin and wine feature. Book us in!

Eat

The new restaurant gives off Mediterranean vibes and we’re here for it! Appropriately named ela, which is a friendly greeting in Greece, the dining room beckons from the moment you enter the foyer of the hotel. With a focus on shared plates, ela serves up Mediterranean-inspired dishes using only the best South Australian produce. Led by Executive Chef Nigel Rich and Head Chef Ashleigh Lindner, the restaurant appeals to both in-house guests and locals, with breakfast and dinner menus, as well as all-day dining for those wanting to relax with a bite to eat poolside. Choose from the à la carte menu, or let the chef decide for you with a selection of their fave seasonal dishes.

Menu highlights include octopus carpaccio, Manchego croquettes, saganaki, burrata served with prosciutto and their specialty 12-hour braised Moroccan lamb shank. Oh, and we haven’t even made it to dessert yet… anyone for baklava? Yes please!

There’s also an impressive private dining room off the main dining area, which seats up to 28 people and provides complete privacy for your special occasion or business event. Imagine a long lunch or a fancy dinner with all of your nearest and dearest. LOVE.

Sip

The bar is the perfect vantage point for a cool drink and a great view of the sunsoaked poolside area. Enjoy genuinelywarm hospitality as you sip on a classic cocktail or try one of their creative signature drinks. You can also choose from a selection of light bites to complement your refreshments. By day or night, this bar is sure to become a local favourite.

Plan your next city staycation at the hottest new hotel in town, or at least pop in for a meal and a cheeky cocktail. It would be rude not to!

TRAVEL: CRISTAL HOUSEBOATS

A houseboat with a twist WORDS Millie Looker Always dreamed of the houseboat life, but not ready to jump behind the wheel? Here’s your answer...

C

ristal isn’t your average houseboat.

Sure, she floats on the Murray River and looks like a boat, but Cristal is unique.

She’s a stationary accommodation option just 45 minutes from the outskirts of Adelaide and she’s fan-freaking-tastic!

You’ll find Cristal in the Riverglen Marina, on a particularly wide section of the river, not far from Wellington and Mannum. She’s parked in a private space with a small peninsula of land either side and surrounded by trees. You’ll enjoy your privacy, kickstarted by a non-contact arrival.

Designed with huge glass windows along the front, back and sides, this three-bedroom baby looks and acts like

THIS THREE-BEDROOM BABY LOOKS AND ACTS LIKE A LUXURY APARTMENT ON THE WATER.

01-Adelady 001-025 Issue010 2023.indd 11

a luxury apartment on the water. Inside, it’s open plan and very modern, with lots of light and all the mod-cons your heart desires — including heating, cooling, washing machine, TV, dishwasher and more. And better yet, it’s big enough to fit the whole family, even the dog!

On the ground floor is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, as well as three bedrooms, one bathroom and two toilets. The kitchen’s fitted out with a huge five-metre workbench, making it the perfect space for entertaining and truly looks like a modern apartment you’d find in the city.

It opens up to a swim deck at the back, so you can bring your own speedboat or kayak, and there’s also a ladder making it the ideal spot to spend your days dipping in and out of the mighty Murray. If you’re lucky, you might even get a few visits from the ducks, swans and pelicans that regularly swim right up to the back of the boat.

All three bedrooms are fitted with queen beds and are big enough for you to walk around. All open out to the deck that wraps around the boat and have even more of those big windows, bringing the views right to you as you lay in bed.

Up top, you’ll find another vast living space affectionately called the Sun Room, which opens right up to an expansive outdoor area. Just imagine the sunsets you could soak in from up there!

The beauty of Cristal (besides its actual beauty) is that you can make your holiday whatever you want it to be. Whether you’re craving some alone time with a loved one, pulling together an epic family holiday or planning a fun trip with a group of friends, this nononsense houseboat will give you all the perks of a floating getaway, without any of the struggles of trying to find a place to dock each night. To book, just head to Cristal’s Airbnb listing and select your desired dates! @cristal.murrayriver airbnb.com/h/cristalmurrayriver

TRAVEL: VINE INN BAROSSA COMMUNITY HOTEL

Five reasons to book a grape escape!

WORDS Hayley Pearson

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a foodie or simply seeking a relaxing getaway, Vine Inn Barossa Community Hotel is a must-see.

WHETHER YOU POP IN FOR AN AFTERNOON BEVVY AND BOWL OF WEDGES OUTSIDE, OR TO SETTLE IN FOR THE LONG HAUL, CHANCES ARE YOU’LL BE IMMERSED IN CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDLY LOCALS AND STAFF.

T

here’s so much more to this old favourite than meets the eye. Here are five reasons why this Barossa gem has stolen our hearts:

1. Community vibes all-round

Vine Inn Barossa is more than a hotel, bar and event space — it’s community owned!

This means that the profits go back into the community to support local sporting clubs, young people and special community projects. “Helping the local high school and sporting clubs in the area is really important to us, and we are very passionate about supporting disadvantaged families and children, too,” says Chairperson of the Board Kathryn Schilling.

Every year, the Vine Inn holds a charity golf day, which receives outstanding support from the whole Barossa region. And all money raised on the day goes straight back into supporting disadvantaged youth in the community.

Run by a board of dedicated locals who meet once a month to forward-plan, the Vine Inn is in the best hands for the foreseeable future.

TRAVEL: VINE INN BAROSSA COMMUNITY HOTEL

2. Warmth, whimsy and wine

Whether you pop in for an afternoon bevvy and bowl of wedges outside, or to settle in for the long haul, chances are you’ll be immersed in conversations with friendly locals and staff. Some of the staff have been there for 10, 27 and 37 years — it must be a fantastic place to work!

3. Cosy, no-frills nesting

The complex has different accommodation options, starting with 18 lovely rooms at the Vine Inn Hotel. They’re comfortable and tick off all your basic needs when you’re exploring the region. There’s also a lagoonstyle pool on your doorstep, perfect for water-loving families.

A short walk away, you’ll find the Vine Court Apartments.

There are options for one or two bedrooms, each with their own ensuite, lounge area and kitchen. All are on the ground floor and when you stay here, you’ll also have access to the full hotel facilities, including the barbecue and pool.

They also partner up with one of the oldest golf clubs in SA, Barossa Valley Golf Club, which offers special packages to their guests. Locals say that this is the friendliest golf club in the area.

It also happens to be one of the prettiest! With 18 holes across six kilometres of gorgeous lawn and surrounded by wildlife, golfers will often share the course with kangaroos aplenty.

4. Party time

The bar seems to be the most popular meeting point at the Vine Inn, with a large range of local beers, cocktails and mocktails on the drinks list. And in classic Barossa fashion, their wines are also on point.

If you’re eager to upgrade your party of two or three to a party of fifty or more, they do plenty of events at the Vine Inn Barossa! Whether it’s a conference or wedding, their events team will help you put on an exceptional function. “We even have ceremonies out on the lawn, then everyone moves inside for the reception after,” says General Manager Gabrielle Marschall.

5. All-day dining

Chicken parmies, beef burgers, sticky ribs and wings, the Vine Inn has nailed what locals want and they offer it ALL day in Billy Jack’s. And in the Vine Garden Bistro, there’s often a line-up for the hot and cold smorgasbord any day of the week! They also cater for vegetarians, with some finger-licking vego options on the menu, too. The vegetarian pizza and cauliflower bites are definitely on the Adelady hit list.

Some hotels are fabulous, but this one is all heart. You’ll understand when you step inside the Vine Inn for the first time. @vineinnbarossa vineinn.com.au 13 -

THE TOURS

WORDS Lily Bennett Indigenous and cultural tourism is the heartbeat of South Australia, helping folks forge a deeper connection with their environment and discover the ties that unite them with this land.

F

ounder of Kool Tours and proud Ngarrindjeri elder Mark Koolmatrie, and his family, had concerns around the misrepresentation of South Australia’s history and the stories of their ancestors being twisted and distorted. And so Kool Tours emerged onto the scene in 2019, with a passionate desire to reclaim and preserve the true narrative of our state’s cultural heritage.

You’re in for a ripper of a time at Kool Tours, with their diverse range of experiences. Each tour is a totally unique celebration, highlighting different spots in South Australia that hold deep significance in Indigenous culture.

From discovering bush foods and medicines on the Yundi Nature Trail, to unravelling the Nurrunderi creation story on the Ratalang Ngarrindjeri Tour in Port Elliot, and even delving into the deep connection with Kondoli — The Whale Journey Across Granite Island; the opportunities for discovery are endless.

POWER OF MIWI

A GEM OF A TRAIL

Picture this: You're walking the stunning Gemtree Eco Trail, surrounded by the natural beauty of the land. And who's your guide on the Wuldi Cultural Experience?

None other than Mark himself, ready to share ancient stories passed down to him from generations before. Anecdotes not just about the land you’re walking on, but also about our responsibility to care for it, the waters and the entire ecosystem.

During your journey, you'll have the chance to hunt through the world of native ingredients and their cultural importance. The coastal rosemary is introduced in the smoking ceremony as a way of fostering a connection to Country and then later in bush tucker — which participants get to sample!

You’ll gain insight into the healing properties of plants and herbs passed down through tens of thousands of years, learn about personal stories that establish a deep connection to the land, and explore the Dreamtime cosmology, uncovering the spiritual aspects of Indigenous culture.

And as your trail adventure winds down, you can kick back with a chat, savour the aforementioned bush tucker, and even sip on some Gemtree Biodynamic Wine, all while basking in the natural beauty of the Eco Trail. It's a journey you won't want to miss.

A nugget of wisdom you’ll walk away with after a Kool Tour, is Mark’s own insight into the Ngartji System.

"It’s about finding that plant, that animal, that bird, that insect — whatever it is — that you connect with through something called our Miwi. A gut feeling."

And what’s seriously cool is how your Ngartji can form a direct connection between you and the land. When we find our unique connection to an aspect of our environment, it's like a puzzle piece clicking into place. Taking care of what deeply resonates with us creates sustainability.

“If we all nurtured and cared for our own piece of land, or a species, or a plant, it would create ripples that extend far and wide, beyond our imaginations,” says Mark.

“We're not just preserving our own backyard; we're looking out for the whole planet. The system is not only about finding a personal tie to Country; it's about our role in safeguarding the tapestry of Indigenous life.”

PASS IT ON!

When you wrap up a Kool Tour, it's not just about heading home with your memories; it's about taking something deeper with you. The profound connection to the land and its incredible stories stick with you, giving you a fresh appreciation for Indigenous culture and an understanding of South Australia's history. And Mark asks you to pass on the magic! After all, sharing the stories keeps them alive and strong for generations to come.

We’re spoiled to have Kool Tours as a cultural treasure-trove in South Australia.

Booking an experience is a breeze — just keep in mind that the Kool Tours schedule can change seasonally, so the website is best for updates and bookings. Happy adventuring! @kool_tours kooltours.com.au

SHARING THE STORIES KEEPS THEM ALIVE AND STRONG FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

TRAVEL: RIVER HAMPTONS

WORDS Felicity Allan Need an amazing place to stay with the whole family? Look no further than River Hamptons.

I

n the heart of the Riverland, tucked away just off the main strip of Berri, the front gates of this impressive estate open to a long, winding road, which creates a sense of anticipation and privacy. The dramatic reveal at the end of the driveway does not disappoint — a stunning, lovingly restored home with a facade that sets the tone for what’s inside.

River Hamptons accommodates 12 people across two dwellings on the estate: The Homestead and The Barn.

Blue and white accents throughout The Homestead are a nod to the Hamptons

style and everything feels decidedly luxe without being pretentious. The master bedroom, adjoining dressing room and grand ensuite bathroom are to-die-for!

Complemented by two more double bedrooms and a bunk room for the kids, The Homestead provides plenty of space for a couple of young families.

The Barn is more rustic, with warm, earthy tones. This fully self-contained dwelling would suit a third family or the grandparents. Gotta love a good multigenerational holiday! Together, these accommodations make the perfect setting for a family escape with all the trimmings.

There’s a magnificent pool, tennis court, basketball ring and expansive green lawns that are perfect for cartwheeling, backyard cricket and afternoon G and Ts. Inside, there’s a fireplace, smart TV, huge dining table for the whole family and a fully-equipped kitchen that will leave you wanting for nothing!

When it’s time to explore the region, there’s so much to do. A spot of fishing, a tour or river cruise to venture a little further, or day out at a local winery or distillery. No matter what you do, you’ll feel right at home when you return to the privacy of your River Hamptons oasis.

If you’re looking for a family holiday without compromising on comfort, this incredible place is perfection. @riverhamptons riverhamptons.com.au

TRAVEL: ARKAROOLA

A

n unforgettable adventure awaits just three hours north of Rawnsley Park in the Flinders Ranges.

The Arkaroola Ridgetop Sleepout Tour stands out as one of the best things I’ve ever done in all my years of travelling around South Australia. In fact, I’ve never experienced anything quite like it!

This one-of-a-kind guided expedition takes you deep into the Ranges, from the comfort of an open-air, custom-built four-wheel drive. It’s jumpy, it’s wild and you’ll literally be on the edge of your seat for at least 90 minutes. Along the way, your lovable guide will show you some of the spectacular geological formations, ancient granite peaks, and plenty of breathtaking views with opportunities to stop and photograph.

Your campsite, perched at the top of the ridge, has 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

You’ll feel so tiny and insignificant — like you’re the only ones on earth!

The evening unfolds with a delightful outback dinner cooked over an open fire.

“How do you like your steak? Medium?

Rare? Or well done?,” is the only tough decision you’ll have to make all night.

YOU’LL FEEL SO TINY AND INSIGNIFICANT — LIKE YOU’RE THE ONLY ONES ON EARTH! And no need to worry if you don't eat red meat. They cover all dietary requirements — the barramundi is sensational!

As the sun goes down, the night sky comes alive and you’ll quickly realise why the region has recently been certified as the only Dark Sky Sanctuary in SA (and only one of two in all of Australia!)

Under a gazillion stars, you can examine the constellations through a telescope or simply just take it all in by the campfire while you enjoy a cuppa or a glass of wine. The best part happens next…

An opportunity to sleep under the stars!

In a luxurious swag complete with Egyptian cotton sheets, a mattress and a toastiewarm doona to top it off, you’ll fall asleep while looking up at that majestic night sky.

This was my favourite part and I’m not even a camper! It was quite profound.

At 5.45am the horn sounds and you whack on a jacket, some shoes and meet your guide, who’ll offer you a coffee in one hand and a banana in the other. Still in darkness, you climb aboard the fourwheel drive and head 15 minutes up the mountain to watch the sun rise over what looks like an oil painting.

Your guide will enlighten you with the history of Arkaroola’s delicate balance of flora and fauna, showing a deep

appreciation for the need to protect and conserve these environments for future generations.

The only thing left in the tour is brekky — and of course another coffee before packing up your bags and heading back down the rugged mountain range to where it all began.

If you’re up for anything and really want to immerse yourself in the great Australian outback, or maybe like me you have some sort of gravitational pull towards the incredible Flinders Ranges, this tour is an absolute must!

I never expected to feel so deeply moved and so connected to the universe as I did during this experience. Our guide Macca, sleeping under the stars in a swag, the Arkaroola sunrise — these moments will stay with me, not because they’re iconic experiences, but because I was completely surprised by them.

The only thing I regret was not bringing my husband Jimmy — this place is too good not to share. @arkaroolaofficial arkaroola.com.au

T

hey say winners are grinners, and these towns are grinning from ear to ear after being awarded highest honours in the SA Top Tourism Town Awards in 2023. Let's dive a little deeper into what makes Victor Harbor, Coober Pedy and Port Broughton award-worthy...

VICTOR HARBOR

This town took out not one, but two awards in 2023 — Top Tourism Town and People’s Choice — and we couldn’t be happier for them!

We’ve visited Victor many times since our childhood days and it holds a very special place in our hearts. There’s an endless array of things to do in this vibrant seaside town, which is just a 60-minute drive from Adelaide. That first glimpse of the coast evokes a feeling of excitement for adventures ahead, with breathtaking scenery, magnificent

beaches, wildlife galore and unique history. This town has it all in spades!

Some of our fave things to do in Victor?

We love spending a day at Lost Phoenix Farm and Cut Hill Distillery, exploring seasonal food and hand-crafted spirits overlooking the rolling hills; hopping aboard The Big Duck Boat Tours to watch dolphins playing in the turquoise waters; kicking up the hay on a family farm visit at Softfoot Alpacas or Urimbirra Wildlife Park; or if adventure calls, joining an exhilarating quad bike ride with sweeping coastal views at Waitpinga Quad Bike Tours. By night, it’s always good to kick back with a glass in hand at one of the many accommodation offerings and wake up to waves lapping the shores. @visitvictorharbor visitvictorharbor.com

TRAVEL: SA TOP TOURISM TOWN AWARDS 2023

This charming coastal town on the northern end of the Yorke Peninsula has been crowned as the Top Tiny Town for 2023! Just two hours from Adelaide and within easy reach of the Southern Flinders Ranges, Clare Valley wineries and the wonders of the Copper Coast, this seaside town is the perfect base to visit a number of South Australia’s famous regions.

But more than that, Port Broughton is a holiday destination in its own right. Feast on locally caught seafood, or you could even try catching your own! Drop in a line from the jetty or take a fishing charter for an opportunity to snare some of the finest snapper in the world, along with yellowfin whiting, salmon, blue swimmer crab and fresh squid… heaven!

While in town, you can experience the Historic Walking Trail, visit the Heritage Centre, view ongoing exhibitions at Gallery 1871 and enjoy the family-friendly facilities at Port Broughton Tourist Park. The town also comes alive for the seasonal Seaside Markets — an event not to be missed. Port Broughton, you have our hearts! @topoftheyorke topoftheyorke.com.au

COOBER PEDY

Coober edy.

P

Congratulations to all three winners of the Top Tourism Town Awards for 2023. It’s easy to see why they’ve been crowned as South Australia’s best and we can’t wait to visit again soon.

The Small Tourism Town for 2023 is quirky, edgy and leaves its imprint forever on all those who visit. We’re talking about none other than Coober Pedy!

This outback town is known for its opals, but the true beauty of Coober Pedy lies in the uniqueness of the landscape and the incredible experiences that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Due to the extreme heat of this region, many of the locals live underground in dugouts. For visitors, the experience of camping out underground is one you’ll never forget. You can also visit an underground museum, a bar, churches and homes… it’s fascinating.

There’s true diversity in the locals who call Coober Pedy home and the opportunity to be shown around by a proud outback character is definitely not to be passed up! Drive the Dingo Fence, play one of the most rugged golf courses in the world, or take a scenic flight over Lake Eyre. If you’re looking for adventure of a different kind, Coober Pedy is for you.

TRAVEL: ATLANTIS PORT ELLIOT

Year-round ahhh-ccommodation WORDS James Worthington Found: the perfect place to take the family any time of year!

P

ort Elliot is at the top of Adelaide’s premier holiday destinations and if you’ve ever tried to book for the Christmas holidays, you’d know it’s not easy. About the same odds as winning Powerball!

But we’ve got a life hack that’ll allow you to skip those bakery lines and find a carpark close to the sand whenever you need it. Just remember these three simple words: Atlantis Port Elliot.

The drive

Just over an hour through the hills or down the expressway from Adelaide, your worries will melt away as soon as you open the front door. The welcome basket filled with local produce is only the beginning.

Your accommodation

Four bedrooms and enough beds to comfortably accommodate 10 guests, Atlantis is a great place to take your family… and another one… annnd another one. The huge kitchen and living areas mean you won’t be on top of each other while you’re cooking up a storm, playing cards or meditating to re-align yourself with the universe.

Also, there are two living rooms with smart TVs, Netflix and free wi-fi to keep on top of your favourite movies and TV shows.

A short walk

If your morning coffee from the in-house Nespresso pod machine is wearing off, there are plenty of places to grab another one while you’re window shopping down the street. Yeo Haus is a must and right near your inevitable destination of Port Elliot Bakery!

THE HUGE KITCHEN AND BARBECUE ON THE DECK MAKE CATERING FOR LARGE NUMBERS A BREEZE.

Sights

If you love a walk before breakfast or dinner, head along the trails to the left and right of Horseshoe Bay. If you need a salty fix without digging into a packet of Smith’s, you can swim in the protected waters of the bay, or head out to the numerous surf spots only a short drive in either direction.

Eats

Atlantis Port Elliot has everything you need to cook up breakfast, lunch and dinner. The open-plan kitchen and barbecue on the deck make catering for large numbers a breeze. Technically speaking, you don’t need to leave your very comfortable accommodation. But if you want to have a look around town, you have dining and takeaway options galore!

TRAVEL: STONY RISE LODGE

“WE CAN KEEP IT SIMPLE OR DIAL IT UP TO FANCY.”

WORDS Millie Looker This boutique accommodation has it all.

I

n the middle of the bush in Robe, you’ll find Stony Rise Lodge — the latest and greatest place to stay on the Limestone Coast. Seemingly out of nowhere, you’ll come across the sprawling grounds of the immaculate infinity lawn and the stunning Lodge that’s been built with no expense spared. It’s not far from the beautiful beaches of Little Dip Conservation Park and it’s the perfect spot for an intimate family, group or special occasion gathering. Plus, it’s dog friendly!

The delightful hosts are there to help you every step of the way. “We shop, cook, tidy, book experiences, pack, drive and organise. We can keep it simple or dial it up to fancy — it’s your choice. We’re on site 24/7; there when you need us and out of sight when you don’t,” says Lodge Manager, Alice Dufty.

If you’re staying for an occasion, you can work with the team to plan a special

dinner. “We can call on our chef and sommelier friends, as we work with you “to design the perfect menu — from a relaxed evening on the lawn, to a cosy candlelit dinner in the Lodge”.

Designed to capture the sunrise and sunset each day, Stony Rise Lodge has been thoughtfully positioned to let in the sea breeze in summer, or stay toasty warm with underfloor heating and an open fire in winter.

There are four guest rooms plus a library, each with its own generous ensuite and an outdoor lounge. Split into four main spaces (sleeping, lounging, dining and the infinity lawn) there’s plenty of room for up to 10 people to run wild.

Every single detail has been considered with Lodge-supplied iPads that control the sound system, smart TVs, a stocked library and wi-fi throughout. You’ll also get access to the on-site four-wheel drive car and driver, who’s also the ideal person to offer updates on the surf or the weather.

The beautiful bar is always stocked to carry on the Lea family tradition of

‘sundowners’. Running on an honesty system, you can bring your own drinks or help yourself to the range of local wines, mixers, soft drinks or soda water on tap for a bubbly refreshment. Then, enjoy a drink out on the infinity lawn as you watch the fiery sunset.

Stony Rise Lodge feels special for so many reasons — mostly because it was created by a family with lived experience on the land, who want to share its beauty far and wide. @stonyriselodge stonyriselodge.com.au

A FAMILY AFFAIR

For owner Rebekah Rosser, Stony Rise Lodge is more than a boutique accommodation. “It was built on the back paddock of our family’s farm. It was always my dad’s dream to build a house there. And while he unfortunately didn’t see it come to life, his love of pottery and art is reflected throughout. We also had the home designed by our cousin, John Lea. It was built lovingly by locals, in the hope that our guests love Robe as much as we do”.

But this versatile destination is best enjoyed all year round.

At BIG4 West Beach Parks, hit the beach and bask in the sunshine while enjoying your meals at the outdoor barbecue areas in summer.

In winter, warm your fingers and toast your marshmallows in the delightful open-air fire pits, and move your snags to the indoor barbecue instead.

See, versatile!

West Beach Parks gets it — holidays can be so gosh darn expensive, but they don’t have to be. Choose an accommodation site that will suit your family’s passions and your bank balance at the same time!

If outdoorsy is your name and camping is your game, book a powered site at BIG4 West Beach Parks for your caravan.

Some sites even have private ensuites! Skyrocket to the next level with their range of beach houses, cabins or new luxury offering called Water’s Edge.

You can choose the cabin size that works for your group, and pick whether a simple or a more inclusive style (with kitchen, bathroom, dining, lounge and plush rooms) will suit you best.

At The Retreat, check out their safari tents for a taste of nature without the sleeping bag, or go a little bigger with their gorgeous Sand Dune Shack or Sundowner Shacks.

FIT FOR THE FAM

The beauty of West Beach Parks is that it’s designed to be a good time for everyone.

The kids will go nuts for the pools, playgrounds, arcade games, bounce pillow… and that’s just scratching the surface. So while you sit back with a book and a cuppa, the kiddos will be splashing in puddles and living the dream, instead of sitting at home in front of the TV. And at the end of a long day of fun and frivolity, you won’t need to slave over dinner while the kiddos whinge about how hungry they are. Simply hit up one of the many incredible eateries and watering holes that nearby Glenelg and Henley Beach have to offer, or visit the new Fuego by the Sea at the Adelaide Sailing Club.

TRAVEL: RUMI ON LOUTH

A dream come true WORDS Hayley Pearson Wait until you see this…

M

ore beautiful than your wildest dreams, a luxury island utopia is waiting for you just 10 minutes off the coast from Port Lincoln.

Once an untamed sheep farm, Louth Island got its name in 1802 and is now well on its way to being SA’s only highend private island accommodation — Rumi on Louth. And it’s all thanks to founder and fierce protector, Che

Metcalfe. “This island project isn't just about the resort for me; it's the restoration of the island that’s most important.

We're restoring it and making sure the development is sympathetic to the ecology of the island.”

The full Rumi experience will be ready in 2025. Twenty-seven eco villas, a private six-bed house for VIP guests, a second restaurant, observatory, yoga and

“AT LEAST IF I DO NOTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE, I’VE GOT SOMEWHERE TO RETIRE!”

Future vision of Rumi.

27/10/23 9:18 am

TRAVEL: RUMI ON LOUTH

meditation platforms, a natural billabong, a spa and access to the whole island — it’s a dream come true for Che, literally.

“I grew up barefoot in North Queensland and I always said when I grow up, I’ll buy an island and go fishing every day. This one popped up by chance and after a year of negotiating, the family sold it to me. At first I thought I might just build a house on it but quickly realised how special it was and had to share it.”

And a $40 million dollar commitment later, it’s happening. “At least if I do nothing else in my life, I’ve got somewhere to retire!”

But Che is inviting us all to come along for the journey with him, with the forthcoming launch of Rumi Reveal. Five luxurious rooms (four suites and one apartment) with an incredible restaurant and immersive island experiences to match. Imagine being taken around the island on a buggy or kayak tour, exploring the abundant native plants and wildlife on the island… or indulge in the lavish lifestyle of the rich and famous by spending the entire day lazing about on your own private Odyssey Catamaran luxury cruise!

Whether you do a day tour or stay the night, all Rumi Reveal guests can be both thrillseeker and daydreamer, by filling your days with adventures and then slipping into a deep state of relaxation. “We want to give people a taste of what’s to come in 2025 and welcome our Foundation Members from the very beginning, so they come back

time and time again, seeing their island grow and flourish each time.” Foundation Members will be the first to hear of new experiences, features and exclusive offers as they step through their journey to the full Rumi experience.

The ancient island can only be accessed by a private boat. Guests are chartered discretely to and from the mainland, so the second you step off the boat and sink your piggies into the powdery white sand, the switch goes off and you’re at one with nature.

Che is fully committed to the protection and preservation of the island and Rumi is 100 percent solar powered. In fact, they’re so off-grid that even the signature dish at their amazing restaurant is sourced daily from nearby waters. Recycling and composting are sacred practices to help preserve Louth Island’s pristine nature.

mi.

The only footprints that guests leave are those on the sand. They, too, will disappear with the tide.

And just in case you’ve thought of hiring your own private island… you can!

Whether you want to entertain a group of friends and family, or organise a corporate trip or private retreat, the Rumi team will work with you to create something extra special and exclusive.

It’s time to be part of something special from the get-go. Rumi Reveal is waiting for you… @rumionlouth rumionlouth.com.au 31 -

TRAVEL: PHT + NCL CRUISE

WORDS Felicity Allan We’ve just had the most incredible European adventure!

THIS IS A SUPERB WAY TO SEE A WHOLE LOTTA EUROPE IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

C

ruising is a whole new world for us, and since we sailed the Mediterranean on board Norwegian Breakaway (one of the incredible ships in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet) we’re now totally convinced that it’s the best way to travel, especially in Europe.

This is a superb way to see a whole lotta Europe in a short amount of time — being gently rocked to sleep at night while listening to the sound of the ocean and then waking up in a new destination each day. Not to mention the ease of travel. We visited all the top spots on our hit list and only unpacked once. Every little detail was taken care of so we were free to just enjoy the entire day at each port.

TRAVEL: PHT + NCL CRUISE

WE VISITED ALL THE TOP SPOTS ON OUR HIT LIST AND ONLY UNPACKED ONCE.

We started in Rome and this city was one of our favourites. There’s so much rich culture and history, and around every corner there’s another iconic sight. We actually cried when we caught our first glimpse of the Colosseum! We made a wish at the Trevi Fountain, traversed the Spanish Steps, shopped up a storm wherever we went and ate everything in sight. Once we had ticked off all the major attractions, we were happy to just wander aimlessly and soak in the Roman way of life. We felt so relaxed and happy, which set the tone for the rest of the trip.

Next stop was Santorini and the stunning contrast of the white-washed buildings, the dramatic cliffs and the glistening turquoise ocean made this the most scenic destination on our itinerary. We enjoyed local Greek food like dolmades, saganaki, calamari and souvlaki. And once our tummies were full, we wandered the quaint, cobble-stoned laneways perusing jewellery and fashion stores. Safe to say we contributed to the local economy!

We didn’t want to leave Santorini, but our next stop beckoned: Athens, the birthplace of democracy and home to the original Olympic Games. Our fave moment in Athens was taking a selfie in front of the Acropolis — to see these ancient ruins in real life was just mindblowing. We can also highly recommend the gyros in Athens. YUM! As we said farewell to Greece, our sights were firmly set on our next destination, Malta. Mdina, the fortified city in the north of Malta, exceeded all

of our expectations. The laneways were absolutely stunning and everywhere we looked was another Instagram-worthy spot! This is definitely a place we will come back to for a longer stay.

By nightfall, we were bound for Sicily, an island off the southern coast of Italy.

Once docked, we made our way from the port of Messina straight to the pretty-asa-picture coastal town of Taormina. The distinctive sound of the piano accordion filled the laneways lined with little shops, all proudly displaying citrus-patterned plates, bowls and printed fabrics, as well as the famous head statues (known as Testa di Moro) which are unique to this area of Italy.

The next day, our ship docked in Naples — the perfect base to start exploring this diverse region. Here, you can visit Pompeii to see the preserved ruins of the volcanic eruption, head to Positano for views along the Amalfi Coast, or stay in Naples and explore the thirdlargest city in Italy and the original home of pizza. We opted to spend the day in Sorrento and enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch. No regrets there!

TRAVEL: PHT + NCL CRUISE

We had an incredible array of activities on the ship, all day and night, with something for everyone. We took part in art and craft workshops, salsa dancing classes and trivia. And we were spoiled with a choice of great live music performances every night. On our voyage there were two headline theatre performances — Burn the Floor and Six! The Musical. The entertainment on NCL is truly world-class and there’s plenty of it… or you can be the entertainment by joining in with a bit of karaoke!

To be back in Adelaide, reminiscing about our trip feels surreal. We can’t believe how many amazing places we visited and all the magical experiences we managed to squeeze into just ten days.

We’re now planning our next European holiday with Norwegian Cruise Line and Phil Hoffmann Travel — who’s joining us? @philhoffmanntravel pht.com.au

The last port of call before heading back to Rome was Livorno, the gateway to Tuscany. We simply had to visit Florence from here and we’re so glad we did. Within minutes of arriving in the city, we wandered around a corner and were greeted with a view of the magnificent

IN THE AIR Duomo (Florence Cathedral) — one the greatest masterpieces of Gothic art and the beginning of Italian Renaissance architecture. What a dream!

It’s probably time we gave you a little insight into just how fabulous our ship was. Our cruise experience on board Norwegian Breakaway was second to none. We dined in a different restaurant each night, from French and Italian, to Shanghai noodles and pub meals; not to mention the 24/7 buffet that spans almost the entire length of the ship! Our fave experience was Teppanyaki — the food was superb and our chef kept us entertained all night as he sang, chatted and cracked jokes, all while showing off his culinary skills on the hot plate.

We flew to Rome with Singapore Airlines and can see why they’re famous for their in-flight service — the delicious food, onboard entertainment, wi-fi connectivity and welcoming cabin crew made the journey to Europe an easy one, and the ergonomicallydesigned seats are very comfy for long-haul flights. They have a huge network connecting Adelaide to the rest of the world via Singapore… so, what are you waiting for? Ask our friends at Phil Hoffmann Travel about your next holiday flying with Singapore Airlines.

A day in the life of Rehnny WORDS Hayley Pearson He’s the busiest man in Adelaide, but somehow has time for everyone!

S

ay hello to Tom Rehn, or Rehnny as he’s affectionately known around town. Flick on FIVEaa or switch the telly onto Nine News and Rehnny will often pop up. On top of that, he’s a great husband, and doting dad and stepdad to three gorgeous boys. The juggle is real!

So, how does he fit it all in with such grace and humility? Let’s go straight to the horse's mouth!

Talk us through a day in the life of Tom…

The alarm goes off at 4.30am and I hit snooze about five times before I get up.

I head into FIVEaa, where I go through all the news and sports updates that have happened overnight for Sportswrap, before joining the FIVEaa Brekky Show to cover all the sport for them. And in between that, I squeeze in some live crosses to Karl and Sarah on The Today Show.

Then, there’s a small window for the gym and if time permits, I’ll race home for an arvo nap. Before I know it, the alarm goes off again and I'm back in hair and makeup at Channel Nine getting ready to deliver the sport for both the 5pm and 6pm bulletins.

FEEL GOOD: TOM REHN

And then of course, I’m here, there and everywhere filming hello SA — but I plan most of that for the weekends so my family can join me.

Where’s your favourite place to holiday in SA with Sara and the kids?

The boys absolutely love West Beach Parks and there’s always so much to do.

It’s so close to home, which is handy if something urgent pops up at work… or if my little guy leaves his bathers at home!

What’s been a stand-out experience for you while filming hello SA?

hello SA has allowed me to explore places I’ve never been. I'm a bit embarrassed to say this, but my wife Sara and I had never been to Kangaroo Island until I got to film over there. So when we went, we went all out! We swam with dolphins, did the wildlife parks and glamped overlooking some of the world’s best beaches.

What’s left on your SA bucket list?

Maybe the new golf resort on KI, because the combination of KI and golf is simply irresistible to me. Shark diving and skydiving would also be a real rush!

We joke that you’re always eating on the show. Where are some of your favourite places to eat and drink in Adelaide?

I love the flavours of ShoSho on King William Road and you’ll often find me

and my ten-year-old son Harry at Gaucho’s on Gouger Street — they have the best steaks in town!

Camping or five-star luxury?

I’m not a natural camper. Like Hayley and Lauren, I prefer the finer things in life. But I do love a cabin in a caravan park, so perhaps that’s the perfect compromise! @tomrehn9

“HELLO SA HAS ALLOWED ME TO EXPLORE PLACES I’VE NEVER BEEN.”

FEEL GOOD: THE HOSPITAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION GROUP

Singing their praises WORDS Hayley Pearson It’s time to meet some remarkable people…

IT’S AN HONOUR TO WALK HAND IN HAND WITH THEM.

S

ince partnering with The Hospital Research Foundation Group, we’ve had the privilege of meeting some incredible people whose resilience and determination have inspired us beyond words.

Their stories show firsthand the impact that the Foundation has on the lives of so many South Australians. And not only that, without their support and funding, a huge amount of groundbreaking lifesaving medical research wouldn’t happen.

Annaliese

We couldn’t love her any more if we tried.

She’s a smart, hilarious, courageous 23-year-old who happens to be battling

an incurable illness. Despite spending most days bedridden and in severe pain, she’s so positive and actively fundraises for The Hospital Research Foundation Group’s Palliative Care charity and Laurel Hospice.

When Annaliese first got sick, like most of us, she misunderstood the purpose of a hospice, believing it to be a place solely for end-of-life care. Now, she knows that it’s a sanctuary filled with peace, love, comfort and happiness, offering people like her a chance to experience quality of life.

At Adelady, we’re so grateful for the angels working in palliative care, supporting Annaliese and others like her.

Susan

THEY STAND BESIDE INDIVIDUALS WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST. Margaret

This wonderful woman spent an astonishing 15 months in a hospital bed, far away from home after a leg amputation.

Despite her hardships, Margaret has boundless positivity and enthusiasm. With one leg, she embraces life to the fullest and credits her resilience to the art and music therapy provided by The Hospital Research Foundation Group’s Creative

Health team — which helped her get through the difficult times when boredom threatened to overwhelm her.

Music Therapist Dr. Patsy Tan has serious healing powers, and without the support of the Foundation, services like hers would struggle to continue, affecting the recovery and wellbeing of so many South Australians.

As well as patients, we’ve had the privilege of meeting talented doctors and scientists dedicated to saving lives. Associate Professor Susan Woods works tirelessly on a better method to test for bowel cancer.

Currently, bowel cancer screening involves the ickfactor of sending off stool samples for testing, leading to low participation rates. Susan, based at SAHMRI, is developing a revolutionary pill-based test that could replace the current method, potentially increasing participation rates and the early detection of bowel cancers.

She is amazing.

Despite the immense potential and the staggering number of people diagnosed with bowel cancer every year, securing funding for Susan’s research was not an easy task.

The grant from The Hospital Research Foundation Group allowed her to take the crucial next steps in developing her groundbreaking test.

The Hospital Research Foundation Group’s impact on various areas of healthcare in South Australia is truly remarkable. They stand beside individuals when they need it most, fighting the good fight and making a difference in the lives of countless patients.

It’s an honour to walk hand in hand with them. @hospitalresearch hospitalresearch.org.au 41 -

FEEL GOOD: SCOTCH COLLEGE

THE STUDENTS AREN’T SITTING AROUND, WAITING TO GRADUATE TO START THRIVING!

WORDS James Worthington That’s not a typo.

T

he ‘C’ stands for online Consent and is just one of the critical parts of students receiving their digital citizenship at Scotch College.

Most of us are playing catch-up when it comes to all things technology and computers. We learned to use them later in life and sometimes need to ask our kids for help with TV remotes and navigating the latest apps. Fear plays a huge part in our learning as adults — the fear of being scammed online or having our identities stolen, and the fear of new technology like Chat GPT and artificial intelligence (AI) potentially threatening to take our jobs.

At Scotch College’s Junior Campus, they focus more on the positives: innovative thinking, student agency and sharing a love for digital technology. In that, children learn how to stay safe online and how to look after their devices. But the bigger picture is empowering them

from a young age, to use these digital literacy skills to go big in life!

“Jo Rea, our Digital Technologies Specialist, has worked hard to get the age and stage right, so when they get to social media at 13, they’re ready,” says Ieva Hampson, Head of Junior Campus.

She continues, “We want to prepare them but understand that families have different situations about what they allow at home”.

RECEPTION TO YEAR 2

In Reception, students sign a digital agreement that reinforces making good online choices from an early age, with Scotch College’s Digital Citizenship’s student-designed mascot, Digi Dude, looking on. “If you hit people with this all too late, they don’t know how to use it responsibly,” says Warren King, Head of Marketing.

FEEL GOOD: SCOTCH COLLEGE

YEARS 3 AND 4

The R-2 program dovetails into the curriculums for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. In Year 3, a new digital agreement is signed and students complete a cyber security certificate, which includes how to be accountable for their conduct online.

Jo says, “We want to get them into the mindset to do the right thing online. It’s understanding the power in the good stuff they can use technology for, rather than just focusing on the pitfalls and risks”.

YEARS 5 AND 6

Students get their devices for school and learn how to look after them while becoming good digital citizens. They also complete a term-long inquiry on the ethics behind AI and how to use it to their advantage, instead of only looking at the negatives from news stories featuring driverless cars and deep fakes. Every learning has a purpose and in Years 5 and 6, students gain a deeper understanding of how this machine learning will help them, rather than fostering fear.

DIGIDO DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES CONFERENCE

One of Scotch College’s Digital Technologies Policy’s guiding principles is to equip students with the knowledge and experience to thrive in the digital world.

Well, the students aren’t sitting around waiting to graduate to start thriving!

In 2022, Scotch kicked off its inaugural DigiDo Digital Technologies Conference, led by Jo Rea. She says, “The conference represents something lacking for kids.

In the digital world, there’s plenty for children who love sport through e-sports, but there isn’t much at the primary school level to celebrate a love for digital learning. This is a good example of being able to do that”.

Just like in the real world, this studentrun conference has a showroom filled with different technology displays.

The Year 6 team organises the entire conference, including inviting other schools, plus parents and professionals who use technology in their work to present at the conference held in Scotch College’s new wellbeing centre, Purruna.

“Jo is an innovator and leader in this space and has been awarded the EdTechSA Leading Light Award for 2023,” says Ieva Hampson. She continues, “In organising the conference, it’s not Jo setting it up for the children.

The children are doing everything in the background as well, from creating lanyards, right through to marketing and presenting the workshops”.

Jo Rea.

Student-led panels include discussions around AI and ethics, plus conversations about digital security.

DigiDo is a true test of the student agency piece — from naming the conference to speaking on the microphones and directing visitors to the different panels and displays. Jo says, “Last year I had COVID the week before the conference and when I turned up, staff said they couldn’t believe how well it went. The kids just owned it!”

THE FUTURE

“It’s so easy for us adults to just see the risks and problems inherent with digital technology, but by introducing it so early and ramping the curriculum up that way, kids develop a passion and find a real application for these tools in their own lives,” says Warren.

With the assistance of external experts, parents and professionals, Scotch College’s Digital Technologies program shows students how many opportunities are out there for them in this rapidly changing world.

FEEL GOOD: ROMEO’S

WORDS Hayley Pearson A tale of love, determination and community spirit.

T

he Romeo's story spans generations, taking us back to 1987 when The Bangles topped the charts and eighty cents could buy you a loaf of bread. It was during this time that Antonio and Elizabeth Romeo started their journey by buying a small convenience store in South Plympton. Their children, then in their early teens, enthusiastically joined in by stacking shelves every day after school.

From the get-go, they adopted the motto, "Family owned and community minded," and that still rings true today.

They’ve always been dedicated to supporting local growers and producers, forming a strong bond with their community and transforming each customer into a friend.

Oldest son Paul says, "It was never just about business for our family”. Most people wouldn't know that over the years they’ve donated an astounding $10 million dollars to local charities, sporting clubs,

community groups, churches and schools.

Their most significant passion involves assisting children through Dreamride — an event for motoring enthusiasts to raise funds and awareness for people with intellectual disabilities.

After joining their parents in the family enterprise, sons Paul, Anthony and Joseph have enhanced the customer experience by embracing new technologies, introducing cuttingedge store designs and expanding their product selection to cater for evolving dietries.

Even as Mr Romeo transitioned away from the core business, his dedication remained the same and over the years, he’d often be spotted arranging supermarket shelves or restocking refrigerators, just to help. What a legend!

The next generation is constantly evolving and setting Romeo’s apart from other independently-owned

This delicious food haven features a walk-in cheese room, a sushi bar, an instore florist, a bakery and an Italian-style restaurant. There really is nothing else quite like it!

Throughout their journey, family remains number one in all their decision-

making. A tradition of Sunday night dinners at Mum and Dad’s is a cherished weekly event where rain, hail or shine, Mrs Romeo whips up her famous Italian feast for the entire family and on the odd occasion, a celebrity guest.

Today, with three generations involved in the family business and a network of 38 Romeo's stores across South Australia and New South Wales, their incredible success still comes back to their unbreakable family bond.

As state ambassadors and lucky guests at one of Mrs Romeo's famous Sunday night dinners, we are so grateful for everything they’ve done for South Australia.

Saluti to the next generation of Romeo’s.

FEEL GOOD: EMERALD WAY CHARITY HOME

A home with heart WORDS Millie Looker They’re donating WHAT?!

The why

T

his is one of those stories that reminds you there are unbelievably good people in the world. A group of incredible SA businesses have come together to create something special, by building a home on a donated block, set to be auctioned off for charity in 2024 as a no-reserve auction. Who are the big hearts behind these plans?

The who

In late 2022, Joe Belperio, Owner and Director of Parkfield Glades Pty Ltd, donated a 495m2 block at the entrance of his new development, Emerald Way in Mount Barker. Builder Urban Edge SA quickly came on board to construct an architecturally-designed, doublestorey home. “We've been blessed and privileged to live in such a wonderful country, with fortunate times in the construction industry, so it's time to give back,” says Ameen Farah, Director of Urban Edge SA. Then, Century 21 Property People and Century 21 Special Projects (SA) joined the party and turned it into such a feel-good project!

The team set a fundraising target of over $1 million, with all to be donated

to Variety SA, to support children in need. “Variety supported over 85,000 children in the last 12 months and we are always looking for new revenue streams beyond our famous motoring events and functions. The generous and kind support on this project from so many people is heartwarming,” says Mark McGill, CEO of Variety SA.

Named The Amelie, this stunning home has been thoughtfully created to utilise the land and maximise liveability. Eyecatching external features create a modern and timeless home, with a double garage and ample parking for guests, and low-maintenance landscaping that seamlessly brings nature into the home.

FEEL GOOD: CARRIAGE OF OCCASION

WORDS Hayley Pearson It’s more than just a ride, it’s an unforgettable experience.

B

ased in Langhorne Creek, Carriage of Occasion offers one-of-a-kind experiences and memorable ways for you to enter or exit your special day. Being chauffeured in such a unique vehicle adds an extra layer of charm and opulence… not to mention an enchanting backdrop for photos and Instagram reels.

There’s something magical about the clip-clopping of happy Clydesdale hooves and cuddling up to the person next to you. But it’s not just for the lovers.

“We have guests hopping on wine tours, enjoying romantic beach experiences in summer, soaking up the magic of the Christmas lights, and I love seeing kids’ faces light up with our Teddy Bear Hunt Adventure,” says owner Shaye.

BEING CHAUFFEURED IN SUCH A UNIQUE VEHICLE ADDS AN EXTRA LAYER OF CHARM AND OPULENCE.

THERE’S A CARRIAGE FOR EVERY OCCASION AND A BUNCH OF VERY HAPPY HORSES TO MATCH!

THE CARRIAGES

There’s a carriage for every occasion and a bunch of very happy horses to match!

The Victoria Carriage can carry up to four passengers, making it perfect for weddings; the London Trolley is their most versatile wagon, often used for funerals, parades and photo shoots; the Mini Wagonette is a delightful alternative to a traditional wedding carriage; the Brougham is an elegant, enclosed carriage and can be pulled by one or two horses; and Canoe Landeau is a striking white, open carriage that ensures a grand entrance.

Then, there’s everyone’s favourite — the Wine Tour Wagon, designed for groups of up to eight people and complete with sunroof and a large boot to carry all the grapey goodies you grab along the way!

THE TOURS

Keep your eyes peeled for their monthly specials, such as touring the Christmas lights in December, or ghost hunting in May for history month. Then, there are a few tours you just can’t say “neigh” to!

The Hands-On Horse and Carriage Experience gives horse lovers the chance to go behind the scenes; brushing and harnessing the horses, before enjoying a carriage ride through the beautiful countryside.

For something super-cute, why not book in for the Horse-Drawn Bear Hunt Tour with the kiddos during the school holidays? Travel through Strathalbyn in a horse-drawn carriage, searching for bears and marking them off your checklist.

And then for one of the most popular tours, the Horse-Drawn Wine Tour!

This experience allows you to explore Langhorne Creek’s wine region over a few hours, bouncing between Bleasdale Wines, Kimbolton Wines and Bremerton Wines. You’ll taste your way through their delicious drops and stay for 45 minutes before you jump back on board to enjoy the open-aired carriage.

So, the next time you're planning a special celebration, consider levelling up the charm with Carriage of Occasion.

After all, isn’t it everyone’s dream to be in a real life fairytale? @carriageofoccasion carriageofoccasion.com.au 49 -

FEEL GOOD: ECHOES MONTESSORI & ECH ENCORE APARTMENTS

FORMER TEACHERS, ENGINEERS, DOCTORS AND TRADIES PASS DOWN THEIR SKILLS.

WORDS Hayley Pearson I’m not crying, you’re crying!

W

hen it comes to our kids, we want to make sure they have the absolute best start in life, allowing them to connect, explore and grow.

And when we reach that retirement age, we want access to beautiful accommodation and facilities that are comfortable and stimulating.

Say hello to a place that offers both of these things...

Located in Modbury, this state-ofthe-art building is home to a gorgeous SA Montessori Early Learning Centre and ECH’s stunning Encore Apartments for independent retirement living. This intergenerational village is a place that’s shared between kids and their grandfriends, and it’s not only the first of its kind in SA, but also at the forefront of a global movement.

FEEL GOOD: ECHOES MONTESSORI & ECH ENCORE APARTMENTS

Echoes Montessori is one of seven centres operated by SA Montessori.

Founded by CEO Barbara Langford in 1989, the first centre, called Jescott Montessori, was created so her daughter Jessica could attend. Jessica loved it so much that she became a teacher there, before eventually becoming her mum’s business partner — making Echoes Montessori an intergenerational project in more ways than one.

Montessori education provides an exceptional foundation for a child’s lifelong learning journey. It nurtures a child’s natural curiosity and empowers children to develop independence while also cultivating respect and empathy for others.

The amazing foundation of Montessori learning is enriched by the presence of the Encore residents. “Day to day, we have our children come into our classroom, but we have the added bonus of interacting with our beautiful grandfriends who join us for our intergenerational learning,” says Jessica Langford, Co-Founder of Echoes Montessori and Managing Director of SA Montessori.

Whether it’s planting and playtime in their shared community garden, building and fixing in the workshop, or story time and baking, the activities enjoyed by the kids and elders are something so special.

And this didn’t just happen by chance — it was designed that way.

Photo: Ahsan Qureshi.

“The village was built in a partnership between ECH and SA Montessori, and we worked really closely with the amazing Walter Brooke architects to identify exactly what we needed in the preschool space, the apartment space and the shared space to really facilitate that intergenerational living,” Claire Scapinello, CEO of ECH explains.

Ross and Jeanette are two of the residents involved in the program and absolutely love it. Jeanette said while putting a dollop of cream on the scones delivered to her by the kids, “It’s so lovely to mix with the children. Our grandies live interstate, so we’ve made so many friends here both young and old; it’s truly amazing!”

The community garden, workshop and art studio allow the intergenerational learning to flourish, while giving the grandfriends a real sense of purpose. “If you don’t have grandchildren, you miss that opportunity and I think it provides a great environment for them to form oneon-one bonds that they wouldn't get in the outside community,” says Claire.

The residents can interact with the children as little or as much as they wish and they all bring their own unique skills with them. There are former teachers, engineers, doctors and tradies who pass down their skills, bringing the village to life. And the kids LOVE it! “They read to me and play with me, and sometimes we bake and get our hands messy,” says five-year-old student Emily.

This gorgeous place will make anyone’s heart sing, because no matter your age or stage of life, you’re never too old to learn and to grow. @echoesmontessori samontessori.com.au/echoes/ @ask_ech ech.asn.au 51 -

FEEL GOOD: JAME FARM DAYS

A dog’s delight WORDS Carrie Raymond We’ve found doggy paradise.

And there’s a bus that takes your pooch right there!

D

og owners: sit, stay and listen up! There's a wondrous place for your four-legged friends that will have them thinking they’ve died and crossed the rainbow bridge. It’s called Jame Farm Days and your doggos will be begging, high-fiving and rolling over with excitement to get there!

YOUR DOGGOS WILL BE BEGGING, HIGH-FIVING AND ROLLING OVER WITH EXCITEMENT.

Jame Farm Days is an outdoor doggy daycare located on 10 acres of custombuilt and fully fenced farmland in the Adelaide Hills. Just picture the sights, smells and space their lucky paws get to explore, all whilst socialising with a pack of other furry friends! The cherry on top?

They come and pick up your pooch from your choice of 18 designated ‘pup stops’ around Adelaide and then drop them back to that same spot at the end of the day. It’s like a school bus for dogs — next stop: paradise!

Teagan and Kobi Jame are the husband and wife team behind this brilliant business. With over 20 years of combined animal experience, they started Jame Farm Days to facilitate the social, mental and physical benefits canines receive from spending the day with a pack of other pooches. “We all just want the absolute best life for our dogs,” says Teagan. “We see some dogs that are bursting with energy and just want to run all day long, and others that are happy just sniffing around and exploring the land. We’re happy, if they’re happy.”

At Jame Farm, the dogs lead the way when it comes to their adventures.

Whether it’s playing chasey, taking a swim or digging around in the new sandpit — they’ll find something to make their tails wag.

The dedicated staff at Jame Farm Days are always supervising, and take plenty of photos and videos, which they share to Instagram throughout the day. It's an absolute thrill to see your dog living their best life diving in the pond, weaving through the tunnel and enjoying new scents as far as their happy little snouts can sniff. As an added bonus, you can utilise the dog washing service at Jame Farm and have your pooch returned to you squeaky clean!

If you have a dog that thrives on adventure, loves to explore and enjoys meeting new furry friends, Jame Farm Days is the place for them. For those who are familiar with the Rainbow Bridge poem… pretty sure this place is the earthside equivalent. @jamefarmdays jamepet.com

Reindeer pudding pops

Lamington birthday cake

Why slave over the stove, crafting a creative cake, when you’ve got Kytons Lamingtons to do all the heavy lifting for you? You can pick your favourite lammie flavour from Traditional, Coffee, Raspberry or bite-size Mini Lamingtons, then get to work laying them out to mark the occasion and decorate with fresh fruit, lollies, chocolates, candles, or leave them as-is in their scrumptious glory.

Some other lamington display ideas include: • Numerically for a birthday celebration • A love heart for Valentine’s Day • A Christmas tree for the silly season We’ve opted to celebrate 85 years of Kytons, with an 85-lamington cake of course!

Kytons Christmas Puddings, which recently won first prize at a National Christmas Pudding Competition, are packed with festive flavour and are the perfect base for these pudding pops.

Simply break off sections of a Kytons Christmas Pudding and roll into a tight ball (they hold together because their puddings are so moist!). Then, dip into melted chocolate and leave to set on a tray lined with baking paper. Before the chocolate is completely hard, insert two pretzels as ears, pop on two edible googly eyes (found in your local supermarket) and a red M&M for a nose. Voila — Rudolph and his friends have arrived!

Alternatively, you can simply dress up the Kytons Mini Christmas Puddings in a similar way. There are plenty more tips, tricks and delicious treats on their website.

wo reasons why 2023 is extra special: 1) Kytons is celebrating a whopping 85 years in business, and 2) Darren and Sharon Sutton are celebrating 20 years at the helm of this SA great!

This family-owned business in Edwardstown has been baking up a storm since 1938, creating lamingtons, Chrissy puds, mince pies and other goodies that are an absolute staple at any South Australian celebration. And for 20 of those years, Darren and Sharon have been the proud owners. “When we first bought Kytons it mainly serviced the fundraising market. Over the last 20 years, not only have we maintained the community side of the business, but you’ll now find Kytons in over 200 stockists across SA as well as at our retail store in Edwardstown and online! It’s a great privilege being the custodians of an SA company that is so fondly thought of and enjoyed by so many South Australians,” says Darren.

If you’re someone who is challenged in the baking department, you can always be grateful for the good people who whip up sweet treats so we don’t have to. We’re sharing a couple of our Adelady dessert tricks so you can celebrate every occasion with Kytons!

W

ith burgers that’ll make your bellies happy, Betty’s uses the absolute finest and freshest ingredients to ensure that every bite exceeds your expectations.

It really is affordable indulgence.

We’re super lucky to have four Betty’s Burgers in Adelaide — Norwood, Hyde Park, Marion and the City, each with its own unique flair and local charm. So, let’s embark on a culinary journey and explore these fabulous restaurants, and the ‘must order’ menu items that we can’t go past!

Hyde Park

Sitting among all your go-to coffee shops and fashion boutiques in the heart of one of SA’s fanciest suburbs, this Betty’s has urban buzz written all over it. Our King William Road hit list never fails to disappoint — coffee at Hello Neighbour, a quick shop at Wild Child and Denim + Cloth, then over to Betty’s for lunch.

Whether it’s a lunch with your besties or an early dinner with the school mums, this restaurant is always there when you need it.

Adelady fave: Depending on the day, it’s a Crispy Chicken (always with added smashed avo), or when we're feeling fit, a Bare Betty goes down a treat. Of course we top it off with a Betty’s Chocolate Thickshake to even things out!

Norwood

Located on Norwood Parade and surrounded by tree-lined streets and heritage buildings, this Betty’s is conveniently right opposite HOYTS Cinemas, making it all about the experience. The toughest decision you’ll face is… is it movie then burgers, or burgers then movie?

Adelady fave: Nothing beats a Betty’s Deluxe with all the frills to fill your tum and comfort you during a movie marathon.

Marion

Found in Marion Shopping Centre, this Betty’s provides a family-friendly environment for burger enthusiasts of all ages. The restaurant caters to busy shoppers, offering a quick and convenient dining option without compromising on quality. With a vibrant and playful atmosphere, Betty's Burgers in Marion serves up mouthwatering burgers and thickshakes that satisfy even the fussiest kids.

Adelady fave: It’s got to be something a little bit quirky like The Noosa Classic Surf, which has all the fun of the Betty’s Classic with crispy battered prawns, or even the Betty’s Double, which has become a team favourite after a massive day.

WORDS Millie Looker Everything you need, in the heart of the city.

S

urrounded by the hustle and bustle of city life, on one of the busiest corners of Adelaide sits a total allrounder. Rundle Square’s got it all — delicious eats, incredible convenience and a spot of fashion to top it off.

This shopping mall popped up at the Pulteney Street end of Rundle Mall in 2020 and has been a go-to ever since.

Need some fresh produce for dinner?

Need an on-the-run lunch? Ready to replace your runners or fill a script?

Rundle Square’s got your back!

If city living’s your jam, you might just miss the convenience of ducking to your local shop. That’s where Rundle Square

fills the gap: it’s got that local feeling, right in the middle of the CBD. The UPark located directly opposite makes parking easy-peasy, so you’ll be in and out faster than you can say “to-do list”. Here’s what’s on offer…

SHOP TILL YOU DROP

It’s our number one favourite supermarket: Romeo’s! We love these guys for championing local produce and ensuring their customers get the freshest fruit and veg on the market. And now, we’ve got even more to thank them for…

This ain’t your ordinary supermarket, no siree! They’ve created a fresh food hub in Rundle Square, complete with a convenient layout, cheese bar, Bowlsome, cafe and florist. Tell your fam you’re doing the grocery shopping, then treat yourself to a coffee and cake at Cafe 159 in Romeo’s — technically speaking, you’re not lying!

EAT UP

As big fans of sushi, we’ll tell you right now that Sushi Hub is one of the best in the biz. Their inari will make your mouth water just by looking at it in the display!

Not to mention their sashimi is oh-so-fresh and the perfect lunch treat.

Smiley Mocktail Bar is bringing smiles with their wow-factor Lebanese cocktails. Yes, you can choose from fresh juices, coffee, tea, as well as some light lunch options like wraps, sandwiches and salads. But we can’t go past their colourful, layered, fruit-topped mocktails. They’re heaven in a glass… enough said.

And on top of those delicious treats, Rundle Square’s also got some classics on offer, with KFC, McDonald’s and Boost Juice residing in the building, too.

STYLE SESH

The leisurewear trend is still running hot, so whether you’re a fitness fanatic or consider walking up and down Rundle Mall a workout, you’ll love to shop at Nike.

Of course, you’ll find your classics like sneakers, leggings, sports bras and more.

You’ll also pick up the comfiest trackies, cosy jackets and cute jumpers, too. All would be perfect for a gym sesh, or just brunch with the girls.

Sushi Hub.

And no summer fit is complete without the perfect pair of sunnies. Pay a visit to Opt Shop Optometry to pick out a pair that suits you to a tee. Better yet, get them fitted with your own script so you can see the world in 20/20, while looking fabulous at the same time.

FOOD: NORTHPARK SHOPPING CENTRE

Northern Eats WORDS Millie Looker Hungry? Let’s head north!

H

undreds of thousands of people travel up and down Main North Road every day — it's the go-to route from the city to the North and vice versa. But there's a delicious reason you should pull over.

Northpark Shopping Centre is full of surprises. Not only does this grand shopping centre in the northern suburbs have a special place in our hearts (fun fact: Lauren’s grandfather developed this centre many moons ago and it was the first of its kind in SA!) but over the years, it’s also become home to some delicious and unique foodie favourites.

Let’s take a tour for your tastebuds.

Warning: if you’re reading this hungry, your mouth will be watering by the end!

Le Soup

There is nothing more comforting than a huge, steaming bowl of traditional pho — and that’s just a spoonful of what Le Soup is serving up! They’re all about modern Vietnamese cuisine, putting a new spin on traditional flavours, while still embracing the authentic ingredients that it’s known for.

Sakura Sushi Bar. Photos: Martin Vu Le.

Sakura Sushi Bar

Fresh sushi rolled up right in front of your eyes — yes please! But don’t stop there… treat yourself to one of their vibrant salad bowls, soothing soups, or a jam-packed bento box. It’s the perfect lunch stop when you’re go, go, go!

Café 19

A great spot to stop if you’re dining with a group, because there’s something for everyone on this menu! From loaded sandwiches, to hot meals like lasagne, soup and even yiros. This menu has an ever-changing specials board, but the one thing that doesn’t change is their fabulous coffee and cakes.

Naan Tandoori

If you’re a fan of authentic Indian food, look no further! The chefs behind Naan Tandoori have brought several years’ experience in five-star hotels and restaurants in India, and they definitely don’t disappoint. Our vegetarian friends will find a huge range to choose from on this menu, too!

Nijumaru

OMG, it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet! This Japanese dining experience will leave you full to the brim, with reasonable pricing and unlimited options. Here, you’ll find beautifully prepared Japanese classics, including sashimi, katsu chicken and gyoza.

Café 19.

Fan favourites

If you’re not quite ready to jump out of your comfort zone and instead, are craving something familiar, Northpark Shopping Centre has you covered. For a hearty lunch or dinner, dip into Noodle Box, Nando’s or Pattysmiths, and then follow it up with a sweet treat from CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice or Brumby’s Bakery.

Next time you’re driving down Main North Road with your belly rumbling away, do yourself a favour and fill your tummy at Northpark Shopping Centre. @northparkshoppingcentreau northparkshoppingcentre.com.au

WORDS James Worthington Food like nothing else in Adelaide. And your pets are welcome.

W

hen you’re tired after a big week, there’s nothing better than having someone make you breakfast on the weekend, right? Pony and Cole’s all-day brekky menu is generous to say the least, and Nicolle Hahn’s work family will welcome you inside.

When you head out for a feed, you want to be sure you’re getting good value for money. It doesn’t matter if it’s your local or someplace new, it needs to be worth the effort. Pony and Cole is worth the effort!

Nic wants to offer you a food experience that you won’t get anywhere else in Adelaide. Her menu changes with the seasons, because she wants you to

experience the freshest produce that SA has to offer when local producers are well-stocked. And once it hits her kitchen, Nicolle’s food is made by people who are passionate about this state and the hospitality industry. Pretty simple.

Nicolle grew up in the Riverland and followed her parents’ path into hotel management. This experience lit a fire in her, but Nic’s creative side kept beckoning her back to the kitchen, where she could express herself on a plate filled with colourful produce, bursting with BIG flavour!

FOOD: PONY AND COLE

Her apprenticeship refined her skills in the kitchen, but after years of working long hours doing what she loved, she thought it was time to do that for herself. When Nic and her partner, Julie, peered inside the old warehouse on Manton Street in Hindmarsh, they saw the potential of this magical place that looked like a time warp from the ‘60s. They cleaned it up, dropped in an industrial kitchen… and Pony and Cole was born in 2017!

And if you’re wondering what’s in a name? It’s named after Nicolle (Cole) and her sister, Simone (Pony), who’ve gone by these nicknames since they were kids.

NOT YOUR USUAL BREKKY MENU Let’s face it, you can get smashed avo anywhere. But is it worth the drive to have something you’ve had a hundred times before, and even something you could easily knock up at home?

What you can’t get just anywhere: potato waffles with smoked salmon, cream cheese, chives and pickled red onion; pork belly benny on jalapeño cornbread, with sriracha hollandaise and baby spinach; grilled cauliflower steak with pesto vegan cheese, roasted baby tomatoes and smoked almonds; a BIG brekky salad with a poached egg and toasted almonds; or Hawaiian French toast comprising thick slices of brioche bread dipped in coconut milk and pineapple batter, griddled to golden perfection and topped with caramelised bananas, macadamias and a drizzle of passionfruit syrup. YUMMO!

FILL YER BOOTS AT LUNCHTIME

Choose from the likes of beer-battered flathead with chips and mushie peas; a falafel burger with all the trimmings; fish OR pork tacos with pico de gallo (Mexican salsa); harissa chicken skewers; panfried salmon on a beetroot salad; or a world-class steak sanga with Scotch fillet, beetroot relish, caramelised onion, salad, egg and cheddar cheese!

EVEN YOUR DOG WILL LOVE IT There’s a level of guilt associated with a weekend outing when your pooch isn’t invited. It’s not nice, but hey, most cafes and restaurants aren’t pet friendly and

NIC WANTS TO OFFER YOU A FOOD EXPERIENCE THAT YOU WON’T GET ANYWHERE ELSE IN ADELAIDE. what are you going to do — go without?

But Pony and Cole is pet friendly, meaning you won’t need to grovel when you get home. Nicolle and Julie’s pooch, Fozzie, highly recommends hanging by the heaters in winter and enjoying a drink or two from the numerous water bowls for your furry family members, year-round.

GIVING BACK TO THE INDUSTRY “Our community and staff are very important to me. So are apprenticeships because this is the next generation,” says Nicolle. It’s hard to find good staff, so when she finds them, she makes sure they know they’re valued because the experience is a huge part of what

customers will remember when they eat at Pony and Cole. They’ll remember how the staff made them feel when they arrived, while they waited for their food, and as they left.

But what does Nicolle look for when staffing up? “I find that you have to pick people with really big hearts, who love to look after other people,” she says. “Skills can be taught; heart and soul are a gift.”

It’s Nicolle Hahn’s mission to make sure every guest leaves with a big smile on their face. The next time you’re in need of a welldeserved morning out, pack your appetite and if you have one, your pooch! @ponyandcole ponyandcole.com.au

amily owned and operated since 1968, Vili’s is proud to be a part of the South Australian landscape — with no signs of slowing down! This local market leader has even taken products international, with goodies up for grabs in Movie World, the Sydney Stadiums, Asia, Europe and the Pacific.

At the core of everything they do is family, community and a bloody good meat pie. And that’s why when interstaters come to town, we plan a tour to the Mall’s Balls, Monarto Zoo and to Café de Vili’s — to truly experience the best SA has to offer!

Family ties

Wandering through the Vili’s head office and factory feels like one big family meet-up. Alison, Josh and Luke Milisits are proudly continuing Vili’s legacy, but it goes far beyond blood ties.

Vili’s is home to some incredibly long-standing employees, who have a dedicated commitment to the business’s success — there are over 70 employees who have been with the company for 15+ years! When colleagues feel like family and everyone has the same goal in mind, that’s when magic can happen.

Spread the love

These guys are givers in every sense of the word, helping out their community whenever they can. They have ties to over 55 charities, a range of local sporting clubs they proudly give back to, and some pretty speccy support for annual events like the Variety Bash and The Novita River Run. That’s why you’ll see Vili’s popping up here, there and everywhere.

Deliciousness comes easy

We know them for their pies; we love them for their vanilla slice; and we can’t get enough of their party range, allowing us to eat 17 mini pastries without blinking an eye! While these classics will never go out of style, it’s also exciting to see the innovative creations that are coming out of the Vili’s kitchen — we’re talking about a Mexican Pie, people!

And if you need a dose of sweetness to round out a meal, keep your eyes peeled for the Vili’s Donut of the Month, which is a revolving flavour sensation, including goodies such as Baileys Irish Cream Coffee Donut, Sticky Date Pudding Donut and The Milo Cream Oreo Donut. Another reason to adore Vili’s… they give the people what they want!

VILI’S IS THE PERFECT BLEND OF FAMILY, COMMUNITY, HEART AND PLENTY OF DONUTS. Big things happening

Is your mouth watering and stomach rumbling at the thought of a Vili’s Donut?

Same here! When the carb cravings hit, head straight to the OG Café de Vili’s at Mile End, where everything is made on site. Or you could beeline for Blair Athol, or take the exit at Elizabeth. Plus you’ll be thrilled to know that Vili’s has spread its wings even further, opening up a fourth cafe location in Hillcrest. Order up!

There’s a reason why Vili’s is such a staple in the SA landscape: it’s the perfect blend of family, community, heart and plenty of donuts. @vilisbakery vilis.com 71 -

DRINK: CIBO

Simply CIBO, simply Italian WORDS Millie Looker Visit Europe for the price of a cup of coffee!

W

hen CIBO was founded in 2000, there was one simple goal: to create a coffee bar in South Australia that made people feel like they were sitting in a piazza, enjoying an authentic Italian espresso.

“CIBO is a brand that comes from the heart. Along with its Italian heritage, it’s deeply connected to the spirit of Adelaide. CIBO is all about that special connection with the customer through a shared love of great coffee,” says Ali Kurtdereli, General Manager of CIBO. There are five pillars at the core of every CIBO cafe:

Great Italian food

Talented baristas

Something that bonds Europeans and Australians is how seriously we take our coffee, and CIBO knows how to nail even the most intricate order. We’re talking macchiato, piccolo, freddo latte, vienna chocolate and affogato. You name it, CIBO will make it exactly as you like.

The Italian touch

For customers to believe they've experienced Italy, CIBO has to feel like Italy. And that comes from a welcoming smile from the barista, a spot at one of the open-air tables under the red umbrellas, or a seat at the shared espresso bar — so that even when on your own, you’ll never feel lonely. Just let the warmth of Italian hospitality run over you.

The artisan pastries LET THE WARMTH OF ITALIAN HOSPITALITY RUN OVER YOU.

Italians believe that a cup of coffee isn’t complete without a sweet treat on the side, so the offering at CIBO is abundant.

Almost too pretty to eat, the sugar-dusted zeppole and creamy cannoli will have you transported to that cobblestone laneway in Rome with just one bite.

For an authentically Italian experience, you need delicious food. One of CIBO’s paninis or focaccias filled with shavings of quality salami and prosciutto always hits the spot. Not to mention the special dishes that pop up, like a steaming bowl of pasta or a freshly made wrap. Bellissimo!

The perfect roast

There would be no CIBO without Tony from D’Angelo Coffee.

These master roasters have worked with CIBO since day dot, creating a blend that’s made up of beans from Ethiopia, Brasil, New Guinea and Indonesia, and is grown on sustainable Rainforest Alliance farms.

“We roast each coffee individually to develop the coffee to its maximum potential, and blend after roasting to give the coffee its exclusive flavour profile. This results in a full-bodied, sweet blend with notes of caramel and dark chocolate, which is influenced by the espressos you would drink in coffee bars in Italy,” says Tony.

CIBO has continued to hold Italian culture at the heart of everything they do. It’s no wonder they’ve become a South Australian icon! @ciboespresso ciboespresso.com.au

WORDS James Worthington Here’s a refreshing and unexpected range of drinks by one of Adelaide’s hottest brewing houses!

B

ig Twist by Big Shed Brewing was created to turn pop-ins into memorable nights with friends. This brand-new, readyto-enjoy range by the team known for brewing the most epic beers is something none of us saw coming.

They’d been circling the idea of doing an alcoholic ginger beer for a while. “We found that most of the popular ginger beers on the market are sweet. Are they sweet because that’s what people want, or sweet because that’s what people have been given?” says Craig Basford, CoOwner and Creator at Big Shed Brewing Co. So, they came up with something that contains real ginger and is totally moreish.

Ph o

to: Nicki Scenes.

“WHAT WE CREATE CAN PUT A FULL STOP ON A SH!T DAY, OR AN EXCLAMATION POINT ON A GREAT DAY!”

Photo: Nicki Scenes.

BIG TWIST

Their all-natural, ready-to-enjoy range includes Hard Lemonade, Raspberry Lemonade, Orange and Passionfruit and of course, Ginger Beer. They’re all “sessionable” — only 4.5% ABV — and contain real ingredients. No. Fake.

Flavours. And the boys wanted to put their own spin on it when launching this range. “There are already lemonades and ginger beers out there, but nobody does orange and passionfruit,” says Craig.

He says, “Our Hard Lemonade is made with real lemon juice and you can taste nature in it. There’s a difference between real lemon flavour and lemon soft drinks; real raspberries have a tartness to them; our ginger beer tastes like real ginger and not cordial — there’s a warmth to it.”

Big Twist by Big Shed Brewing can be enjoyed as is, but they recommend playing around with each one to find what works best for you. “Try it. And then try it with a dash of something else you like. Have it your way,” says Jason Harris, Co-Owner and Creator at Big Shed Brewing Co.

UNEXPECTED MOMENTS

Craig and Jason know that you can’t please everyone. Despite their popular range of beers, they know that there are plenty of people out there who don’t drink liquid gold… and they’re fine with that. “Big Shed’s always been about inclusivity,” says Craig. They wanted to create something that’s fun and lets you make the most of those unexpected moments.

Craig says, “We don’t cure cancer or solve world hunger, but what we create can put the full stop on a sh!t day, or an exclamation point on a great day!” @drink_big_twist bigshed.beer/big-twist

SERVING SUGGESTIONS Hard Lemonade: For cake lovers, add a shot of Big Shed’s Golden Stout Time Vodka for a refreshing lemon cheesecake taste.

Raspberry Lemonade: Add fruit, cinnamon and rum (or prosecco) for the backbone of a homemade Sangria.

Ginger Beer: Serve with a slice of lemon in the summertime, or with a shot of Scotch whisky for that classic Whisky Mac. Orange and Passionfruit: Add Big Shed’s Golden Stout Time Vodka and garnish with passionfruit pulp for a Twisted Martini. Craig describes this one as “Pavlova in a glass” — POW!

STYLE: ALEXANDRA LINGERIE

Take your bra off…

WORDS Millie Looker … because it’s probably the wrong size!

L

Is your bra the wrong size?

Here’s a simple way to check: Reach around behind you and find the back of your bra band.

Place your thumb underneath and pull the strap away from your body. How far can you pull it out?

If it’s more than a few finger widths, then something is wrong!

Off to Alexandra Lingerie you go.

adies, it's time to get comfy — and the best place to start is a bra that actually fits, from Alexandra Lingerie.

Owner and bra enthusiast, Alexandra Vaissière, created a place where bra fittings aren't just a process, they're an experience guided by experts. Her personalised approach made us long-time customers, often seeking advice from the French big boobs expert on the best everyday bra, little-bit-sexy bra, sports bra or bikini top. And now, we’re bringing Alexandra’s wisdom straight to you!

Getting fitted at Alexandra Lingerie is a long way away from the fittings you had in a department store when you were 16! The team at this delightful Adelaide Arcade boutique is kind, friendly, extra helpful and well versed in putting any embarrassment you might feel aside.

Start out slow by browsing their beautiful pieces and selecting a few bras you might like to try, before heading through to the spacious fitting rooms and

getting professionally measured up — a total game changer when it comes to boob comfort and support.

From there, your fitter will bring you a baseline bra in your specific measurements and even help you fasten the back and adjust the straps. This part is totally optional and whatever you’re comfortable with. Your fitter might even ask you to swap sizes a few times to make sure you finish up with your perfect fit.

And then the fun really begins. After your base sizing has been determined, you can play around with different styles and looks. And you never even have to leave the fitting room!

Once you’ve found some styles you love, you can get dressed and head out to the counter. And if you can’t bear to take your new bra off, you can wear it out of the store!

Voila! Your boobs have a cosy new home with plenty of support, lift and a beautiful new look.

Measure up

What’s your perfect bra size?

If you’re not quite ready to be professionally measured by the Alexandra Lingerie team, why not give it a go yourself?

To get your band size: Take a tape measure and put it under your breasts, and pull it nice and firm. The number of inches converts to your band size. Just subtract 22 to get the Aussie sizing you’re used to. For example, did you measure 34”? You should try a size 12 band.

To get your cup size: Measure over your breasts in your current bra, then find the difference between your underbust measurement and bust measurement.

Then, match that number with your suggested cup size below. For example, if your bust measurement is 41”, and your underbust is 34”, the difference is 7” — and you can start out with a 12FF.

Bust: _____ inches minus Underbust: _____ inches = _____ inches Circle on the number line below to find your starter size!

Band too big, cup too small. Pulls breasts down rather than lifting and supporting against the body.

Cups cover and enclose full breast and underwire is not resting on any breast tissue.

WORDS Millie Looker

Bathroom

You deserve to live a life surrounded by beautiful things — even the everyday items.

O

liveri® is the only stainless steel pressed bowl sink manufacturer in Australia — and they’re right here in Adelaide. Creating and importing beautiful pieces to complete your kitchen, bathroom and laundry since 1947, they’ve gotten pretty darn good at it!

“We’re focused on innovating and designing new Aussie-made sinks to fit a range of clients’ needs,” says Paul Richards, Oliveri Product Specialist.

While style is at the forefront of every piece that Oliveri creates, it's functionality and quality that they’re truly passionate about.

“CHOOSE FROM PREMIUM AND ENTRY-LEVEL OPTIONS, DEPENDING ON YOUR STYLE AND BUDGET.”

“Our sinks are designed to stand the test of time, and each of our Australianmade sinks come with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. Not to mention that our factory operates on zero waste to landfill, with the vast majority of our packaging now recyclable,” says John Woodcock, Oliveri General Manager.

We asked Maddie Murphy, Head of Branding for the Oliveri team to show us how to pick the perfect sink for each space. Let’s go sink shopping!

Kitchen

“Stainless steel sinks are our specialty, but we also distribute a wide range of taps and sinks from abroad. Our granite sinks come from Italy and are some of the most durable on the market. They’re scratchresistant and can handle 280ºC heat.

“Our tapware encompasses a wide range of the more popular styles, including bright gold, matte black and natural brass. Plus, we’ve just launched our Venice and London tapware if you’re looking for gorgeous taps at an entrylevel price!

“We’ve been selling quality Oliveri basins, tapware, showers, toilet suites and baths for just over four years, and have a wide range of colours to suit any design.

Choose from premium and entry-level options, depending on your style and budget. We recently began importing our exclusive Terzofoco by Oliveri ceramic basins from Italy, for those who want to elevate their bathroom experience.”

Laundry

“Our reliable laundry tubs are made right here in Australia. Or, if you’re looking for a premium option, our tight radius sinks, like Sonetto and Santorini, can really elevate your laundry aesthetic. When choosing the right style for you, think about how you use your laundry — are you washing footy boots, delicate silk, the family dog… or all of the above? Thinking about how you’ll use the space can help determine whether you need a double or single bowl, or if you’ll require a drainer.”

If your kitchen, bathroom or laundry needs a refresh, visit the Oliveri website or find a participating retailer selling Oliveri in your area. @oliveri_solutions oliveri.com.au

“IT’S A PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO AGE AND SEE YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN GROW UP.”

Photos: Wayne Pearson.

WORDS James Worthington As guys, we should feel lucky to be getting older, gaining lines and even losing hair.

F

or years, the “macho system” prevented middle-aged men from doing any form of self-care as they aged. Rose from Elixir Skin Fitness is calling BS on that dated view.

Men are just like women in that they don’t want to succumb to looking tired and older, but it’s mainly women who are smart enough to get help. That’s why Rose wants to educate all blokes, so they can live long, happy lives with their smokin’ hot partners by their sides!

Here's what Rose had to say about it…

DO GUYS GET BETTER WITH AGE OR IS THAT JUST A MYTH?

“The reality is that guys age differently to girls, with testosterone making the skin more hardy. Some men experience inflammatory skin conditions like

dermatitis and rosacea — redness in the skin around the nose and eyes — which gets worse with age due to exposure to sun, alcohol intake and poor diet. It’s all connected to the gut, so we like to educate men from the inside out.”

CAN YOU HELP MEN WHO HAVE HAD ACNE?

“Absolutely. Testosterone drives the oil in their skin that starts the acne. And guys won’t cover it up with makeup, so they opt for heavy medication instead.

But now there’s more awareness around treatments, which aren’t brutal on the skin like medication can be. Simple treatments, like regular cleansing and a good skincare routine can prevent these conditions from getting worse.”

STYLE: ELIXIR SKIN FITNESS

“Gut health impacts how we all age and we need to keep stimulating the collagen throughout our bodies for elasticity and support. Guys and girls break down collagen in the same way, but as guys age, testosterone levels drop and they start to look softer — noticeably around the jawline.

If you’re a guy who’s under the pump at work, has kids, is stressed, or maybe even works outdoors, you’re going to age pretty quickly. We have collagen treatments to help to slow this process down. They help stimulate the collagen and tighten and lift the skin so you look good as you get older.

Guys will never regret using moisturiser.

It’s not a big deal and it shows that you have respect for yourself. But to get the best results, you’ll want to look after your internal system, and then increase your sleep and exercise routines that nurture your body from the inside.”

SO SLEEP AND EXERCISE HELP YOUR SKIN?

“Sleep is important. Naturally, as we get older our bones recede. We lose collagen and that support, so our faces change a bit. We start to notice lines on the forehead and dark circles under the eyes. When we’re asleep, our body has time to repair itself and stimulate the collagen. When we don’t get enough sleep, our body is striving to catch up and never gets fully repaired.

“WHEN YOU FEEL CONFIDENT, EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FEELS FANTASTIC, TOO!”

Healthy skin also requires you to keep moving. It’s important for guys to exercise to stimulate their testosterone, which gets lower as they get older. Depending on what you do to keep fit, you’ll also need to consider sun damage, chlorine and other external factors that can impact your skin.”

It might sound overwhelming but Rose can show you how easy it is to create good habits for healthy skin. Bad habits lead to a massive hill to climb when you realise how much work is required to get your skin and self-esteem back.

Rose says, “It’s a privilege to be able to age and see your children, and grandchildren grow up. When you feel confident, everything in your life feels fantastic, too!”

Always consult your doctor for advice on what’s best for you. @elixirskinfitness elixirskinfitness.com.au

CAN YOU TALK THROUGH SKIN TREATMENT FOR GUYS? “It’s hard enough to get a guy in to see a doctor or a psychologist.

Once they take that all-important first step to book an appointment, we take the really feminine touches out so it doesn’t feel weird. The consultation starts with a look at your skin under the diagnositic device. Then, we’ll talk about your general health, lifestyle, exercise habits, gut health (diet), alcohol intake and how much you’re out in the sun. For example, if you have an indoor job, I’ll treat your skin very differently to someone with an outdoor job.

And we don’t fluff around.

Guys normally say, just tell me what I need to do and I’ll do it — simple and easy.

We just want to make sure you age well and look great as you get older. Feeling good about yourself impacts confidence, mental health and sexual drive.

If you lose that confidence, it impacts relationships on a number of levels.”

THE JEWELLERY

WORDS Millie Looker We’ve got a new stop to add to your Yorke Peninsula itinerary.

J

ewellery stores have always been a special place, where memories are made, special moments are celebrated and future family heirlooms are born.

But the story behind Kadina Jewellers is extra heartwarming, because it’s the tale of some talented South Australians coming together.

THE HISTORY

In 2009, husband and wife Lisa Robertson and Mark Northcott, along with Lisa’s father Trevor, opened a jewellery store called Leading Edge Jewellers. With over

THIS BUSINESS NOW HAS FRIENDS AND FAMILY AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING THEY DO.

50 years’ experience between them, their store was a success — and then they met the Russacks.

Russacks Jewellers was also a familyowned and operated business that had been selling exquisite jewellery for over 90 years, with watchmaker Mark Russack and his wife Leanne Russack at the helm. Instead of seeing each other as competition, the Northcott family and the Russack family joined forces to become Kadina Jewellers.

After adding one final piece to the puzzle, with store manager Charlotte Barker also becoming an owner, this business now has friends and family at the heart of everything they do.

THE FUTURE

If you're on the other side of the state, you're in luck! Kadina Jewellers have taken their magic over to wine country, by partnering with R&B Sutherland Jewellers, to form Clare Valley Jewellers.

R&B Sutherland Jewellers was started

by Jeweller Roger Sutherland and his late wife, Bev, over 40 years ago. So now, you’ll be able to buy a little piece of their magic when you next travel through Clare!

And if a road trip isn’t on the cards, you can always jump on their website and shop online.

Both Kadina Jewellers and Clare Valley Jewellers have it all! Each location is a full service jeweller, providing watch, clock and jewellery repairs and services, plus truly unique custom designs from Lisa and Roger. Their huge range of classic and modern jewellery, watches, clocks and giftware, as well as brands such as Pandora, is available in both stores.

THE EXPERIENCE

Once you step inside these doors, you’ll feel like you’ve been enveloped in a big hug! The Kadina Jewellers and Clare Valley Jewellers teams will help you find what you need, whether that’s a simple repair or a big decision on a special piece.

The quality is unmatched and the vast price range means that no matter your position, you’ll find the perfect fit for you.

From a simple yet classic $50 bracelet, to an incredible $10,000 sapphire, the experience is more than half the fun!

You’ll also get to choose between natural or lab-grown diamonds. When looking at a $12,000 lab-grown diamond against a $65,000 natural diamond, you’d be hard pressed to spot the difference!

The next time you’re road tripping to Kadina, or passing through the Clare Valley, go and get yourself a special little sparkle and a warm hug from the families behind this exceptional SA biz. @kadinajewellers kadinajewellers.com.au
