Key Personnel

Fleurieu Living Magazine

Our advertising partners • A special thanks to the advertising partners that have made a long-term commitment to FLM.

From the publishing editor

Take One • Janey Fowler grew up in the iconic white house on top of the bluff in Victor Harbor – picturesque surroundings that no doubt primed the young artist’s sharp eye.

Entertainer’s dream • Sitting at the dining table in the hilltop home of Steven and Amy Albrechtsen of Watermayne, we are afforded one of the best views of the house. A large and lengthy picture window frames a panorama of treetops and the sky. We look up to see a hawk fluttering and diving out of sight.

How the light gets in • The idea of art as therapy – a moving meditation or grounding practice – is something most can understand in theory, but some creatives truly bring the notion to life.

Saddle Up for Fun: Strathalbyn Racing Club’s Summer Series promises family-friendly thrills • As the sun graces the picturesque landscapes of Strathalbyn, there’s an air of excitement and anticipation that can only mean one thing – the Strathalbyn Racing Club’s Summer Series is back. With a simple formula of combining thrilling horseracing with free family-friendly entertainment, the series provides an affordable day out.

Weaving connections • Art has a transformative power, it holds stories and history. It communicates our human experience, as vast and varied as this may be. It has the ability to heal. A basket is not just a basket; it is a weaving together of the past and the present, and a vessel of promise to hold the future safely.

Small but mighty • The ability to see potential requires a certain optimism – an ability to see past faults, flaws and challenges and imagine a future state. For seven years, the block that’s now home to Wren House sat empty, its potential hidden by an aggressive slope and the tired, stressed trees clinging on for dear life.

Garden party • Long warm nights ahead have us thinking about outdoor entertaining, celebrating the year that was with the people we love. The Fleurieu Peninsula is home to an abundance of local producers, artisans, foodies and winemakers. We gathered a stellar bunch for this dreamy collaboration, a tribute to the hardworking talent that endlessly strives to create community and culture around supporting local.

Forever home • The night before I visit Corrina and Dan Wright’s home just outside McLaren Vale, a thunderstorm was unleashed suddenly and spectacularly over the Fleurieu. It’s an obvious point of small talk when Corrina, winemaker at Oliver’s Taranga, welcomes me inside their newly renovated home. It also offers a simple example of how life has changed for the Wright family since the extension was completed.

Effortless elegance

Market fresh: Evelyne Adefusi’s chicken with 40 cloves of garlic • Evelyne’s cooking style is simple, fresh, local and seasonal, driven by the motto: ‘If it grows together, it goes together.’ There are few better places to source such produce than at the Willunga Farmers Market and Evelyne has accumulated strong relationships within the market community. In addition to her weekly groceries, some staples include Feather & Peck eggs and yellow-top Fleurieu Milk.

What to buy, where to buy it • Artisan, bespoke and handmade. Fill your home with the love imbued within...
