Winter weekends away
Feeling the need to break the cold months with a jaunt elsewhere? Here’s our pick of the latest and greatest places for a winter weekend away.
Natural habitat
The pristine environs and unique bounty of South Australia’s Kangaroo Island make the ideal setting for the KI Food Safari. Frances Hibbard packs her appetite and heads into the wild for a culinary adventure.
South Australian star
Heritage and history are one face of the Barossa Valley. But there’s also a renewed focus, says Max Allen, as one of our oldest wine regions sets a steady course for a bright future.
Kangaroo Island travel guide
Australia's third largest island is equal parts tame and wild – a land of (sheep) milk and honey farmed since the early 19th century, and a significant sanctuary where creatures as diverse as koalas and bees have been saved from extinction in an ark-like exercise in species preservation.

A small but carefully considered à la carte […]
The Bridgewater Mill
REVIEW The water wheel still slowly turns, but the appeal of this 1860s Adelaide Hills landmark goes beyond its old flour mill. Seppeltsfield Winery’s Warren Randall bought the property from Petaluma winery in 2015, reinvented the venue’s dining options and, in 2017, the space itself – renovations include a deck and glass-walled top level.
