Painting a life in the country
It’s amazing how life’s challenges can lead to inspiration and a zest for living life to its fullest.
Community spirit through and through
Budgie Schiller has lived at Eudunda his entire life and is known by the community as a generous man, who believes strongly in treating people fairly and who goes out of his way to help whenever he can.
Call me Mr Mac
Chalk dust and teenage anticipation season the air of an otherwise unremarkable transportable classroom at Nuriootpa High School. It’s 1981, and a fit middle aged man with a neatly kept full beard, curly dark hair and glasses stands at the front of the class, preparing to address his first ever cohort of design students.
Cold blooded compassion
Dan Marshall has a few loves in his life, but it’s not quite what you think. “Indie, she’s an absolute sweetheart,” says Dan, referring to the 2.5 metre long Murray Darling carpet python curled up in his backyard shed.
Raising the barre
As the curtain rises, Alice Cook graces the stage with the confidence, poise and composure of a professional ballet dancer.
A wish and a smile
For this group of volunteers, making wishes come true starts with the simple act of believing anything is possible.

Kalleske Wines
Since 1853, the Kalleske family has continually farmed land on the outskirts of Greenock. Seven generations have contributed to the property, all following in the footsteps of Eduard and Rosina Kalleske who planted the first vines, some of which still grow today.
Cutting through the barriers
Winding its way westward from Tanunda, Stonewell Road provides a glimpse of an ancient soil profile as the hill rises gently and the road cuts through to reveal ochre coloured horizons.
A fortified love for wine
Ron Liebich walks into Liebichwein’s Cellar Door, wearing shorts, tee-shirt and trademark pair of snips clipped to his leather belt. He’s somewhat chirpy today because this Rowland Flat winemaker/grapegrower has just completed his 54th vintage and he reckons it’s a good one too.
Roland Weight
Roland Weight will be well known to many in the Barossa and indeed to many from further afield. He is the instigator to a lot of visual artists in the Barossa. He started the Byron Bay School of Art and trained as a sculptural artist.
Kirsty Kingsley
A woman of so many talents and so many passions. The Barossa Art scene is now benefiting from one of Kirsty’s current passions, being the new ‘Wonderground’ Art gallery and Cellar door.
James March
James has the role of heading up the ‘Barossa Australia’ team – a group that advocates for all things Barossa and is charged with taking our amazing region and incredible wines to the world. Much like a game of chess, James relishes the challenge of planning, strategising and executing plans that bring the focus back on our region and the rewards that come with it.
Ginger Lemon Drop
Embrace the zing with a Ginger Lemon Drop cocktail. A lively mix bursting with ginger spice, crisp apple and zesty lemon. Refreshing, spicy and tailor-made for those cosy Autumn nights in.
Lean Lasagne
A delicious, hearty favourite that’s also heart-smart. Leftovers are great to have as single-serve portions in the freezer too!
Mushroom and Truffle Cheese Danishes
What do you get when cream cheese and truffle Manchego invite sauteed mushroom and thyme to a pastry party? A savoury Danish to die for! Rich in flavour, layered with texture, and delicious to the eye, this recipe is a triple threat.
Beck & Martin’s Wedding
After a relationship spanning 14 years, it was largely a local friend and family affair when Beck Tucker and Martin Ritzmann were married just before Christmas.
Katelyn & Cam’s Wedding
Pernod Ricard Heritage Vineyard was the venue choice for Katelyn Menzel and Cam Heinrich for their wedding celebration, with 130 friends and family in December.

Gardening: “The activity of tending and cultivating a garden” – Oxford dictionary. I think this definition can be enhanced by not only tending and cultivating a garden, but that gardening also encompasses tending to ourselves and our own wellbeing.

Swats, Sprays and Sticky Ribbons: A fly’s fight for survival
