Every year, the Year Four class parents at the Willunga Waldorf School are tasked with organising the annual Autumn Fair. It’s a colourful, joyful day with the charm of a village fair as parents and children celebrate the school with a great show of community spirit and involvement. Everyone is welcome to explore the grounds and classrooms while grazing on the delicious food offerings, including an amazing cake and cookie room (complete with barista made coffee!), an ever popular Indian food stall, a children’s food room with small plates for smaller people and much more. Ice cream, smoothies, raw food treats, fresh produce, homemade preserves… the list goes on. Of course it’s not all about the food. There’s also live music and entertainment to enjoy and a variety of market…

There are places in the world where the site of Turtle Rock would be covered in high-rise glass towers, dripping ostentation and opulence. But this is South Australia and instead we find a modest and charming 1950s beach house and garden held by the one family for forty years – much used and much loved. Turtle Rock overlooks the Southern Ocean right on the shoreline at Hayborough. While the views are spectacular, this humble home is further elevated through a skillful marriage of internal and external art and design. It certainly helps to have a designer and artist in the family and owners Keith and Glenda Rudkin have been fortunate indeed to have found this in their daughter-in-law Lydia, or Lydie as she prefers to be known, Paton. A qualified…

From the FLM team In 2021 we will be reaching a milestone that surprises many – our tenth year of publishing Fleurieu Living Magazine. Perhaps people are surprised because we’ve managed to maintain our youthful exuberance and charm over the past decade. Perhaps not. All jokes aside, we believe FLM’s tenth birthday really is worthy of a celebration. Print media has been on life support in Australia for years, but our little magazine keeps going. We keep going because our readers and advertisers continue to believe in this community and the importance of sharing local stories through a local voice. So this celebration is not about us, it’s about you. FLM continues to thrive because of the quality of engagement with the stories we tell, based on great relationships with…

Dr Mango Parker notices things. She walks through life with her senses engaged, looking, listening, smelling. Her latest reward for paying attention is a paper nautilus shell found on a recent Yorke Peninsula trip. She’s dreamed of finding one for years and the excitement of the discovery is still fresh. It’s clear Mango is a champion of curiosity and of the richness to be found in the simple act of noticing your surroundings. It’s perhaps an unsurprising approach for a person who works as a research scientist at the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) researching chemical compounds that influence the smell, taste or texture of wine. Mango’s introduction to wine science came straight out of university, when she took up a graduate position at the former Southcorp, and was placed…

If you were to misplace your purse, you’d likely panic at the loss of its contents over the vessel itself. That is, of course, unless the purse resembled the careful craftsmanship of two passionate Goolwa-based designer-makers, using all Australian-sourced materials. Such an artwork isn’t as easy to replace as an old battered credit card. When Katrina Weber lost her purse amid the chaos of the Adelaide Central Market in 2004, her search for a replacement that was both original and practical proved a difficult task. As a jewellery designer who struggles to keep her hands still, the natural next move was to create a replacement from scratch. Hand stitching some of her grandmother’s old fabric together with some clear PVC, Katrina crafted a winning design. The misplaced purse wasn’t the…

Anita Nedosyko is speaking to me via phone from the front seat of her dusty 4WD as she overlooks the vast mud flats of Port Germein. She’s travelled there from her campsite in the southern Flinders Ranges seeking phone reception and respite from the forty degree heat. Typically unflappable, she hasn’t let a flat tyre get in the way of our pre-arranged interview. Anita describes the scene in front of her through her marine biologist lens: ‘The tide is out and I’m looking across one kilometre of rich, beautiful mud flats. They’re filled with shore birds, crustaceans and marine life.’ But this idyllic scene is tainted by Anita’s knowledge of the damage caused to this environment by the leaching of lead and heavy metals from the Port Pirie smelter. It’s…

I’m doing the dishes as I start listening to the first episode of the Fleurieu Peninsula produced podcast ‘Experiencing Life’. But a few seconds in, and the heart wrenching words of former police officer Matt Newlands demand my full attention. The story strikes a chord; my own husband is a police officer, and I am well aware of the mental toll years in the job can take. It’s more than the subject matter though that prompts me to put down the dish cloth – it’s the eloquent and mindful narration of the podcast’s producer Beau Summer, the seamless editing and the sleek production. ‘The hours I put into editing each one aren’t something I could even really keep track of,’ Beau tells me in a phone conversation a few weeks…

So often in our vibrant community, alcohol is seen as a necessary encouragement to social interaction. We toast people, events and memories with alcohol, a lubricant for ceremony, feast and celebration. It’s part of many religious traditions and is a source of regular enjoyment for many around the world. Here on the Fleurieu, our thriving economy and culture is closely tied to drinking and eating. To ask questions about how alcohol affects our health therefore brings many views and experiences on how it affects peoples’ lives and livelihoods. We all understand that drinking too much alcohol can be bad for you, yet why has it been a part of our lifestyle for so long? The consumption of fermented drinks is thought to have been a part of human culture for…

The Biennial Kangaroo Island Easter Art Exhibition is set to return in 2021 after being delayed in 2020 due to bushfires and Covid lockdowns. The exhibition is a highlight on the Island’s event calendar, showcasing the rich and diverse artistic talent of the local community. For the first time this year, the major prize at the Easter Art Exhibition will be the Diana Keir Art Award, in memory of local artist Diana Keir who passed away in 2019. Her long-time friend Alexandra McCarthy wanted to honour Diana by establishing an award that preserved her legacy, while ensuring the longevity of the celebrated biennial exhibition. Alex is working with South Australian not-for-profit artist support organisation Guildhouse, to build a perpetual funding corpus that will allow the award to continue into the…

In 2021 Fleurieu Living Magazine will reach a big milestone – TEN years in business. But rather than just blowing our own horns, we want to celebrate some of those who have helped us get here. Oliver’s Taranga – Old cottage, new tricks This year Oliver’s Taranga will be renovating their original 1850s cottage, or ‘dressing up the old girl in a new skirt’ as they put it. The new-look cellar door will have new tasting offerings and it will also incorporate a wine education facility, with deep dive, structured and themed tastings, plus B2B classes and training in cellar door and tourism skills all slated for the new space. Set among the vineyards, the new buildings will house their delicious wines (obviously!) as well as their ever cheerful and…
