Home by the bay • For 35 years, Geoff and Louise Hutchinson lived in the same house in Myponga. Then Geoff retired. ‘The house that we were in came with the job,’ explains Louise. ‘So we had to get out.’ It’s a characteristically modest way of describing their circumstances – Geoff and Louise are one of the trio of families who co-founded Fleurieu Milk.

Emma Fält: Layers of meaning • With so many creative pursuits, getting started can be the hardest part. The stark expanse of a blank canvas, or a blinker flashing benignly in a new document, can make even the most creative juices run dry. Some people feel crippled in this space between intention and action. Others, like Emma Fält, will themselves through the discomfort and create their own destiny in the process.

Recycled Runway • On 25 May, Wirra Wirra’s century-old Barrel Hall will form the backdrop for the inaugural Recycled Runway event. The event will highlight artists of the region while showcasing the beauty of recycled fashion. The textile artists featured here were given the directive to create garments using second-hand denim.

New locales • As the seasons change, and our region swells to cater for the summer crowds, owner-operated businesses emerge to meet this demand. A swag of new businesses blend the traditional charm of our coastline with fresh new tastes, sights, sounds and textures ensuring there is always something familiar yet exciting to encounter on the Fleurieu. Take a look at these new and revived offerings, and consider switching up your coffee stop or satisfying those retail therapy urges.

It is time for us to celebrate the need to cultivate our holistic well-being through the roots of the land. It is time for us to save our soil.

Freaks of nature • Embodied, homeostasis is an increasingly rare sense of harmony, allowing us to maintain internal stability while adjusting to changing external conditions.

Market to table: Chef Steele • There exists a masterpiece in the Fleurieu’s ‘foodie’ world – a farmers market brimming with vibrant, seasonal produce, and a wholesome connection to the heart of a chef who understands that, at its core, good cooking is about the connection of quality food and the collaboration of the entire food community.

Places we love Hey Juj

Drinkability • Autumn is the best time of year on the Fleurieu, just ask any local. The warmth continues through March and April, the sunsets are spectacular, and every winery is humming with the sights, sounds and scents of vintage. These four producers make wines perfectly suited to the season and each has a cellar door where you can relax, hang out with your friends, taste the wines and enjoy the essence of autumn on the Fleurieu.

My style • Michelle Attard of MAD Studio

The art of it • Anyone with a penchant for South Australian food and wine has probably imbibed with or dined off an ES Ceramics creation, but Shane...
