A Pleasure in Words
With a contagious enthusiasm for words, Chris Russack has ever been drawn to creativity, inspiring those around him and establishing lasting legacies throughout his community.
From Farmlands to Fine Wines
The verdant rice and bamboo fields of Taiwan may be the homeland of Philip and Kevin Liu, but the Valley floor is definitely their heartland.
Growing from grassroots
Like the big-sky country at Fords she calls home, the land has been the backdrop to the story of Sarah Noack’s life. In big and small ways, agriculture has always had a tug on Sarah, bringing her back to her roots.
Crafting Connections
Switching from tech to beer might seem like a leap, but for Josh Helbig, it felt like a natural evolution. Known to the Barossa community as a free spirit, sharp thinker, and risk-taker, he’s never been one to shy away from a challenge.
A Game Changer
Nicola Biagi is more than just a name on the local football scene or a respected real estate agent in the Barossa. She’s a leader, mentor, and fierce competitor, both on the field and in life.
The next re-generation
It’s early morning as Georgie Keynes makes her way along a familiar track towards the hills’ country of Keyneton Station. Spiderwebs, wet with dew, flank the path in beaded luminescence as golden sun breaks over this special, gum-studded land that has been in Georgie’s family for six generations.
The Musical Man
Despite the many personas he wears on stage, rising star Reo Gerhardy is a young man of singular character. In an industry that lauds fame and fortune, the 17-year-old aspires to leave a legacy as a mentor and male role model in musical theatre.
It all just rolled into place
Kate Argent-Bowden has been attending weekly lawn bowls for as long as she can remember.
Heritage and Hard Work
As the daughter of a farmer, Ashton Hurn is no stranger to rolling up her sleeves. In fact “pitching in” comes as naturally to the local Member of Parliament as navigating the familiar back roads of Angaston, where she and older brother Shannon grew up on a mixed farm, running sheep and growing grapes and apricots.
Pathways to empowerment
Barbara Lightburn is more than an advocate; she is a catalyst for change, empowering people who live with disability through her organisation, My Ability Pathway (MAP).
