Local event calendar packed for August with ‘A Little More Barossa’
Barossa excites with a new packed calendar of events for August
Where the wind goes
Once you take off, you never know where you might land. Michael and Barbara Ludlow are glad their journey has carried them to the Barossa.
Building the canvas so people can create
As the sun sets on the driest part of the country, a new light emerges from the red sand.
Beams of every colour dance across the desert floor and into the night sky for Parrtjima Festival, an Indigenous celebration of light and culture in the heart of Australia.
Seeking light through storytelling
Look through a window into Sam Cowley’s imagination and you’ll discover a place of childlike wonder.
Making a difference where it matters
For most Barossa families, a trip to the park is one of the easiest weekend outings to execute.
Whilst catching up at our picnic bench though, Seppeltsfield resident, Abbey Underwood, sees past the sunshine and scenery of the area and towards the difficulties of accessing the space for those with a disability.
Turning craft into conversation
You know morning cuppa’s over at the Tinkers Shed when Keith Pfeiffer goes back to work.
“You’ve got two minutes to go,” Keith calls over his shoulder as he returns to the shed floor, to a chorus of laughter.
Good natured banter flows easily between these Tinkers, who come from all walks of life.
Family Bonds
For the footy-loving Schiller family, the adrenalin rush of finishing a hectic vintage isn’t too different from playing a Grand Final. Robert and his sons, Tom and Ben have each donned the boots for Tanunda over the years and whilst they are fiercely proud of their long association with the Magpies; off-field, it’s the land their ancestors developed through the generations that deeply connects this trio.
Mikiko Shimoda
A ‘mostly’ portrait and ‘brief’ interview series exploring the idea that one image has the power to tell the whole story.
Each ‘sitter’ suggests the next person to be photographed in this series, and thus ensues
an interesting and unknown trail of Barossa
identities to come.

Bunny Chow
Bunny Chow is an Indian style curry traditionally made with mutton, potatoes, and beans which is served inside a hollowed-out loaf of white bread, similar to a cob loaf but better.
Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pie
The epitome of comfort food, this rich, creamy chicken and mushroom pie is full of goodness and encased in delicious sour cream shortcrust pastry.
Veal Osso Bucco
A cold winters night screams comfort food to me and what better way to warm your insides than a delicious meal that’s slow cooked and full of flavour.
Smoke Taint
Combining the smoke from the chipotles with the herbaceous notes of the Savoury Allsorts gin and sage leaves from the garden, your palate is embraced in a rich warmth, with a spice that doesn’t leave you sweating in winter frost. Finished with lime to freshen and restore balance to your glass, this is one to revisit.
Cheat’s Pear & Raspberry Crumble
My version of a winter crumble has no added sugar and is so easy & quick to prepare. It goes perfectly with a dollop of creamy Greek yoghurt and is delicious for dessert (or even breakfast!) on cold days.
Felicia & Nick’s Wedding
A Chinese elm tree at Anlaby Station, near Kapunda set the scene for the special day of Felicia Wedding and Nick Murray.
Samantha & Jacob’s Wedding
A chance meeting at the local pub was the start of the relationship between Sam Neumann and Jacob Wright.

Wine Reviews for Winter by Tyson Stelzer

Meet the locals
As the nights get colder and colder our minds wander to hearty nourishing comfort food. It’s similar with beers.
Ideal winter beers are local and fresh of course, but also malt driven, with more body than thin summer lagers.
Your guide to winter fashion
The farewell to warmer days is tough, however a new wardrobe awaits! The switch of the season also signals a few months of cosiness and comfort ahead, and you can look forward to changing up your wardrobe for something a little more layered, textured and fun.
Sheep or goats are the new pets
Pet ownership in Australia is common, and while we generally think of a gorgeous tabby cat or a bouncing Labrador, here in the Barossa and Mid North we are seeing a new kind of pet.
Piranesi
Sixteen years after the release of the international best seller, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell, Susanna Clarke has returned with her second masterpiece, Piranesi.
It’s all about the F word at Anytime Fitness
New journeys and new directions can sometimes be a little daunting… And so, it should come as no real surprise that joining a gym can often fall into this category for many people. At Anytime Fitness Nuriootpa and Angaston, we put the important things first to make sure you feel welcome right from day one.
Kaiser Stuhl – so good to share
During the 1930s Great Depression one of the many industries to suffer was the wine industry.
Many local grape growers couldn’t sell their grapes, or were offered 20-40% less than the previous year.
Taking care of your joints
10 signs you need to take care if your joints and what you can do about it.
Goodbye Neighbours
Do you get on well with your neighbours? Or maybe not so much? Whatever the case, sometimes it’s nice to have a little privacy in your yard. Of course fences are great for this, however, I’d much prefer a ‘green wall’ to look at.
