“People moving from the inner-city suburbs to the beachside suburbs of the Fleurieu also come along,” added Jane
the Twilight Food Affair takes place in term one every year on the College grounds and attracts approximately 5,000 people from across Adelaide

After overcoming setbacks with his barbershop and cafe
combining his passion for food with the support of his loyal community
Matt Hill’s entrepreneurial journey has been anything but ordinary
From starting out with a barbershop to navigating the challenges of running a cafe-barbershop combo
Matt is now shifting gears to pursue his dream of opening a pizza shop
“Lowrider started just as a barber shop six years ago
and then I moved locations a couple of times from a shipping container to Port Noarlunga where my shop got burnt down three days after being open,” said owner Matt Hill
“It was a random attack and never found out who did it
I was pretty disheartened after all that and wasn’t sure if I was going to open another store
because I didn’t know if it was going to happen again
I moved to Old Reynella and started just doing coffee and stuff like that in the barbershop
“I was there for four years and wanted to expand
where he set up Lowrider in a huge 200sqm venue
This is what kicked off the cafe and barbershop combo that was in action at Lowrider over the past few years
“We saw success with the cafe and barbershop
but after separating from my partner in October it’s been tougher
customers were dropping off and with the cost of wages and food
the cafe was sucking all the money from the barbershop
in December I thought we had to close this
otherwise we were going to lose it all.”
After spending some time to think and reset
Matt decided it was time to try something new
but this hasn’t been without struggles along the way
ever since I was little I’ve wanted to open a pizza shop
“Clients and customers from the barbershop who are in trades have all been chipping in to help me and it’s just been amazing
I couldn’t do it without them.”
leaving him with thousands of dollars in damage
Matt is persevering and determined that the shop will be a success
“People were smashing up my shop and now before the insurance money comes in I’ve got to fork out the $2000 to repair the windows
But I feel confident I’ll succeed.”
Big Bite Pizza will specialise in classic 12-inch pizzas and square Sicilian pizzas
“Our sauce is going to be really special
slow-cooked homemade by me that’s perfect and consistent every time
We’ve got heaps of flavours like a satay pizza
they’re going to be absolutely delicious.”
Big Bite Pizza is set to throw a grand opening on February 8th
where the community is invited to get down
try the pizzas and enjoy some pretty epic entertainment
“We are planning the grand opening for the 8th of February
we’re going to organise a car show as well
We’re just waiting for approval.”
With a loyal customer base and a community-driven launch
Matt is confident that Big Bite Pizza will be his most successful venture yet
the grand opening is sure to be an exciting celebration of food
marking the beginning of a new chapter for Matt and his supporters
I’m confident this is going to be the one

The multimillion-dollar upgrade of Knox Park in Morphett Vale has reached the finish line – and it’s a real winner
Work on the $2.7 million multi-use sports park was completed in June 2024
The park features an irrigated turf oval with a 400m athletics track
and athletics throw facilities accommodating discus
The project – funded by the City of Onkaparinga ($1.6 million) and a $1.1 million state government grant – was developed in consultation with the Southern Athletic Club
The 180-member Southern Athletic Club now calls Knox Park home
using it for junior and senior athlete training
and potentially competitions across most track and field events
Club president and recreational running coach
said the club’s members have an extra spring in their step since moving from a local school to the new space
“Our community has been eagerly watching the work unfold and everyone has been excited to get on the grass and start training,” Jason said
“Previously there have been no athletics training facilities south of Mile End
This has meant every athlete in southern Adelaide needed to travel to the city to train
making retention of athletes difficult for the club
“I’m proud of how the club worked with the council and the community to create a fantastic high-quality space from which many people will benefit.”
Jason said the club has already seen membership grow
with numbers doubling since the project was approved in 2020
“Knox Park is the first real home for the Southern Athletic Club; it gives us a place to build community
and get people of all ages involved in athletics,” he added
safe training environment is incredibly important
and we’re looking forward to helping those—like Paralympics middle distance runner Angus Hincksman—realise their potential.”
City of Onkaparinga Mayor Moira Were said Knox Park is a game-changer for the community
particularly the local athletics and sports communities
“Knox Park is an investment in the health and wellbeing of the community
be active and connect with others,” Mayor Were said
“This purpose-built athletics facility not only provides members with the tools they need to excel but also helps attract and retain participants
while the wider community benefits from enhanced open space and recreational opportunities.”
A small celebration to officially open the park was held by the club on Sunday 6 October

Local members of the southern Ahmadiyya Muslim Community will hold Australia Day celebrations in grandeur as the controversial Australia Day public holiday comes close
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Adelaide invites you to its annual Australia Day celebrations on Sunday
at the Morphett Vale Noor Mosque.

providing networking opportunities and fostering connections among attendees

Jamie Monsigneur and Josh Monsigneur with Marley
When Morphett Vale homeowners Josh and Jamie Monsigneur decided to turn their plain-looking front yard into a thriving veggie garden
they never expected it would start a movement
An oasis of snow peas, sugar snaps, silverbeet, spinach, lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, broad beans and – even in winter – tomatoes, the couple’s gardening project 17 Judith Cres has been a talking point – and place to visit – among locals for the past two years
with many not only benefiting from any excess produce but actively seeking out the couple for gardening advice
Enjoy the ultimate country lifestyle you’ve always dreamt of
The SA tree change with one of Australia’s best pools
Grandpa of the decade buys grandkids million-dollar home
A smoothly rendered facade and raised veggie patches create a head-turning
Established gardens are fully irrigated and relatively low in maintenance
and vegetables year-round in your backyard greenhouse
Mr Monsigneur said the project started with just six raised planter beds out front but now includes further veggie patches in the backyard
a glasshouse to grow ginger and other sub-tropical species
bee hives and lawn for children and pets to play
“The community aspect that’s come with this is what has really surprised me,’’ he said
people will walk past and have a conversation – you wouldn’t get that if you were gardening out the back (of the home
“People drive past just to see what’s going on in the garden and more and more people are starting to grow their own vegetables as well
“It (self-sufficient living) has become a little movement
are now looking to expand on their self-sufficiency goals – as well as running a few cattle – at a property at Mount Compass
Escape the family or entertain a crowd in the fully detached and lined rear studio with gas heater
Just place your furniture and get busy living in this solidly built 1970s home with extensive renovations
Wake up and wind down in a spacious main bedroom with a big bank of mirrored built-in robes
It means the time has come to sell the extensively renovated three-bedroom double-brick home
which also comes with a self-contained studio and built-in bar
The property has been listed for sale through Ouwens Casserly Real Estate and comes with a price guide of $625,000 to $675,000
“We have spent so much time and effort building this house and garden to be just the way we want it but you can only do so much with 720sqm,’’ Mr Monsigneur said
“We will create the same type of garden (at Mount Compass) but
being on a larger property (not visible from the road)
it won’t become part of the community like this one has.’’

More than simply a wine region, McLaren Vale is a fertile food bowl that punches well above its weight when it comes to gourmet offerings
Chefs combine dazzlingly fresh local produce with techniques from across the world to create stunning dishes that transcend the picturesque regional location
these 12 McLaren Vale restaurants are worth adding to your list
whether you fancy a degustation for two or a casual and cosy pub meal
Enjoy eclectic drinks in a speakeasy-style restaurant
(Image: South Australian Tourism Commission/Fleurieu)
Since opening in 2019, this lively spot in a former blacksmith’s shop has quickly become the most sought-after reservation in the seaside town of Aldinga
Owner Trinh Richards and her mother take traditional Vietnamese flavours and spice them up with influences from across Asia – think takoyaki made with fresh local squid
braised octopus with spicy sambal and chewy hand-pulled noodles doused with chilli
Opt for the Feed Me menu and you’ll get all the greatest hits (there’s also a cheaper kids version)
and the equally eclectic drinks list has a focus on smaller regional wineries and aromatic drops that pair well with the fresh Asian flavours
Maxwell takes dining with a view to new levels
The views over rows of vines garlanded with lush leaves and an eye-catching conifer maze would take top billing at most venues, but at this winery restaurant
they’re overshadowed by the edible works of art featured in the nine-course degustation
Each bite is more spectacularly plated than the last
and the showstopping “pearl” of oyster mousse with a patina of sparkling silver is a contender for Australia’s most beautiful bite
Add in a few secret weapons like fungi from the onsite mushroom cave and delicate sparkling mead hidden among the estate wine pairings and you have all the ingredients for a seriously memorable meal
Location: Corner Main Road & McMurtrie Road
Be surrounded by nature when you dine at Salopian Inn
Dining doesn’t get more regional than the fare at this longstanding favourite
which features a map of owner Karena Armstrong’s kitchen garden on the back of the menu
Her exquisite creations pair fabulously fresh produce with subtly balanced flavours and carry a noticeable Asian influence; perfectly plated dumplings packed with king prawns
carp and ginger beg to be dipped in the house-made chilli sauce
while the oh-so-tender master stock braised roo tail with a sweet chilli glaze is spoken of in hushed tones by locals
The location in a 19th-century cottage surrounded by vines means there are plenty of cosy nooks for private dining experiences (as well as a walk-in red wine cellar that’s worth a visit)
and local distilleries are well-represented in the selection of more than 200 gins
The clock is always set to party time at Frankie
It’s no surprise that many of the best restaurants in McLaren Vale are located in wineries and the full name of Mitolo’s more casual dining option provides a pretty good idea of what’s on offer
Pallet-loads of white tiles and plenty of natural light give Frankie Italo Dining & Disco Lounge a distinct piazza vibe
and the pumping disco soundtrack and giant goblets of limoncello spritz make it clear that the clock is always set to party time here
The kitchen is generous with both flavour and serving sizes in the cucina povera that includes Roman-style pizzas and pasta laden with produce from the Mitolo family farm
and the Inferno chilli oil that comes served in an eyedropper is best approached with caution
But the showstopper is the futuristic-looking gelato cart that opens up at the end of each Sunday sitting to universal acclaim
Muni has a strong emphasis on sustainability
(Image: South Australian TourismCommission/ Fleurieu)
The minimalist fit-out of this sleek diner on the main street of Willunga belies a seriously elegant offering inside
Step into the timber and concrete sanctum and you’ll find hints of the owners’ native Taiwanese cuisine as well as riffs on pan-Asian classics
but expect the kitchen to breathe new life into familiar dishes – think giant croquettes of fluffy radish cake with shrimp xo – and play with your perception through offerings like an unforgettable “noodle” dish made using ribbons of freshly caught squid
There’s a strong emphasis on sustainability that carries over into the drinks list
but the natural wines are eminently approachable and pair well with the deceptively complex food
Book in early to secure a prime waterfront table
(Image: South Australian Tourism Commission/Josie Withers)
Forget Sydney Harbour views – this restaurant perched on the limestone cliffs in Port Willunga offers the best waterfront dining in Australia
It’s easy to get distracted by the ruined jetty and postcard-perfect turquoise water below
but dive into the menu and you’ll find a mod oz masterclass (the name comes from a nearby shipwreck rather than the cuisine)
Asian and Australian influences are given equal weighting
but the location makes it hard to go past seafood options like sweet gin-cured ocean trout and locally caught Szechuan salt and pepper squid
washed down with a crisp white from the excellent cellar
simply head to the adjacent fish and chip kiosk to enjoy the same views with slightly more humble fare
With a rich heritage shaped by successive waves of European immigration, it’s not just the climate that has a distinct Mediterranean feel. This cellar door osteria is one of several Italian restaurants in McLaren Vale delivering down-to-earth fare that fuses the owners’ heritage with the best local ingredients
Grab a seat in the vine-shaded courtyard and feast on plates of rich pork and veal meatballs made using nonna’s secret recipe
slices of eggplant parmigiana laden with gooey mozzarella and freshly filled tubes of cannoli while working your way through a list of Italian varietals such as crisp vermentino
silky smooth sangiovese and juicy Montepulciano drawn from the estate vineyard
The restaurant’s interior channels Scandi minimalism
The magical Down the Rabbit Hole winery, where organic wine tastings are hosted in a restored mint-green double-decker bus, is also home to Fiore
The cheery restaurant is housed within a bright and airy weatherboard
heated by a fireplace in winter and where sunshine and cool breezes flow through summer
the menu is focused on seasonal and local produce
and a Nonna’s Table experience on Friday nights where heart-warming Italian classics are served
Casual bites are also available to enjoy in the idyllic garden
which is the setting for live music on Friday nights from November to April
Start the day right at this quaint coffee shop
which has a down-to-earth community vibe in a heritage Willunga building
particularly from small growers and artisans
There are housemade ingredients throughout including dukkah
Much of the produce is sourced locally such as Willunga Meats
The Sourdough Story and Onkaparinga Creamery
kombucha by Gather Brewing and all-important coffee from Altura
There’s nothing more cockle-warming than a meal in a country pub, and this one is a beauty. Built in 1857 as The Clifton Hotel, the historic building underwent several extensions and became The Bellevue Hotel until the mid-1900s, and more recently underwent a beautiful restoration as McLaren Vale Hotel
Its charming ironstone walls and brickwork meld with modern features such as a marble bar and contemporary furniture
But we’re all here for the pub grub: think burgers
schnitties and fish and chips alongside scotch egg
braised lamb and ploughman’s platters
The warm hospitality and casual dining here have earned the establishment several nods at the Australian Hotel Awards
CLINK’s menu is inspired by global street food
Adjacent to McLaren Vale Hotel, CLINK started as a pop-up in collaboration with Tintara Wines but is now firmly on the to-do lists of anyone seeking a lively atmosphere to eat
CLINK has been dubbed McLaren Vale’s biggest beer garden and is open on weekends
The simple menu comprises street-style foods
a kids’ menu and even options for your dog
Unwind under the fig trees and listen to the regular live music performed by homegrown artists or check out the calendar on the website to see what special events are being held
Indulge in produce-driven gastronomic delights
Set atop a hill in Blewitt Springs, this restaurant and bar shares the same bucolic property as the family-owned winery Beresford Estate. It makes for a fabulous lunch spot – with the whole family including kids and pets – thanks to its sweeping vineyard views.
The local produce-focused menu is designed to share, with starters such as Coffin Bay oysters and beef tartare to large hearty plates such as a 1.4-kilogram Tasmanian smoked lamb shoulder.
Home to Vale Brewing, it’d be remiss not to book a beer flight to sample the refreshing ales and lagers. Wine, gin and whisky tastings are also available.
