A winning spirit on and off the pitch
Peek inside the inner sanctum of ‘The Schlungers’ and you’ll find a club as tight as the veil of secrecy that surrounds it. The traditions and rituals passed down through the annals of Greenock Cricket Club are matched only by the creativity of those who invented them.

Cosmetic care, tailored to you
Three years after making the Barossa her home, Peta Autengruber has officially brought her expertise and bespoke personal touch to the local community.
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.
Forty vintages for Elderton
Elderton Wines will celebrate its 40th vintage in 2021, and whilst heartbreak and adversity has stood in the path of the Ashmead family – the family behind the highly successful label – strength of character and unyielding determination to produce premium wine has prevailed.
Turning sand into wine
Sixth generation grapegrower, Christine Canute says she’ll never forget the day she tasted the ’97 Grenache and ’96 Shiraz made from the fruit growing just outside their Vine Vale home.

‘Mehl’ – its German for flour, and it was the fact that German born Martin was missing the flavours of the bread he grew up with back in Germany that prompted the creation of ‘Mehl Sourdough’.
Mikiko Shimoda
Japanese born and raised Mikiko Shimoda is a world travelled chef and has now settled in the Barossa and is adding yet another interesting element to our food culture.
Spekulaas Palmiers
Palmiers are a deliciously crisp puff pastry cookie. There’s the crunch of the sugar with the crunch of the pastry while the flaky buttery layers melt in your mouth.
Sweet Mustard Pickles
In 1917, a recipe by Anna Heidenreich of Bethany was contributed to the first edition of the Barossa Cookery Book, and it packs a whole lot of classic Barossa flavour in a jar.
Lavender Gin Sour
Seppeltsfield Rd Distillers’ Lavender Gin Sour is bursting with floral aromatics and subtle lavender. Slightly sweet with balanced citrus notes, it’s a refreshing, delicate, smooth and delicious cocktail that accentuates the brightness of Seppeltsfield Road Distillers signature House Gin.
Brianna & Luke’s Wedding
When the bride is a wedding specialist you would expect that industry expertise to come in handy for her own special day – and this was certainly the case for Brianna Kaye when she married Luke (‘Lefty’) Hamann at Peter Lehmann Wines in October.
Hannah & Josh’s Wedding
A beautiful spring day with dappled afternoon sunlight perfectly offset the elegant simplicity of Hannah Sanders and Josh Koch’s wedding in October, when the farmer wed his partner of seven years at Moculta.
