Make a date

The good house • What would you do with an eighteen month honeymoon? Setting off on their epic worldwide adventure after marrying in 2015, Tom and Crystal Wilson could not have anticipated the profound impact that travels would have on their lives but this journey took them from New Zealand to North Africa and became a transformative catalyst, reshaping their perspectives and inspiring them to rethink how they want to live.

Lost in Palm Springs • A Celebration of Mid-Century Modernism

Meadow to plate • Meet the growers behind Meadow to Plate: a generational family affair connecting with nature to produce organic vegetables for our community.

Empowering communities through genuine investment • The Bendigo Community Bank Fleurieu model is a beacon of how banking can truly benefit local communities. In the 2023-24 year alone, the bank reinvested $700k with 80% of its profits going back into the communities that support it.

Overland • Standing quietly in the middle of the desert as the sun rises, with no one else within a few hundred kilometres, is an experience everyone should have at least once. It’s both a meditative and humbling exercise. That is, until you spool up your noisy drone and kick up a red dust storm as it ascends.

Fleurieu Motor Group • In 2024, Tu and Karen Clarke acquired full ownership of Fleurieu Motor Group (FMG) having part owned the dealership under the previous Northpoint brand.

Salty Sister • Libby Tozer believes we all have a story. Some of us just need help connecting with it. As a storyteller, Libby takes to the ocean to help people tell theirs through nature-based, self-acceptance photography.

Drinkability • As we celebrate Issue 50 of FLM, we have chosen to highlight a selection of McLaren Vale wines, featuring both timeless classics from d’Arenberg and exciting new releases from Paralian, Aphelion, and Sherrah. The region’s diverse styles, ranging from established traditions to innovative approaches, offer a rich tapestry of flavours that reflect its unique geography and culture. Spring is the perfect time to explore these new vintages, and this selection demonstrates why McLaren Vale continues to be a powerhouse in the wine world.

The 2025 Adelaide Festival is set to dazzle with a blend of dance and opera from some of the world’s most celebrated artists. • This year’s highlights include performances by Adelaide’s own Australian Dance Theatre, a captivating opera directed by Simon Stone, and a return of Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal.
