SA Autumn Garden Festival
Thousands of people flocked through the gates of the Clare Showgrounds to attend the very successful SA Autumn Garden Festival, the largest of its kind in the state. There were 65 stall holders ranging from plant and garden stalls and handicrafts, children’s craft corner, garden themed stilt walkers, food and drink and a brilliant lineup of gardening experts, one being the very popular garden gnome Costa, the host of Gardening Australia. In this story you'll hear all the buzz and excitement from the event from Mid North locals, Costa Georgiadis, Rebecca Sullivan and event coordinator Paulie Calaby.
Guidelines to reduce smoke taint on winegrapes
A new set of guidelines have been developed to help SA grain and wine grape growers manage smoke from broadacre stubbles to reduce the impact of smoke taint on winegrapes. The Broadacre Burn-Off Smoke Management Guidelines was launched in March after consultation with PIRSA, the state’s wine and grain industry and CFS representatives. These guidelines show a unified approach which will strengthen communication lines between the two industries. Anna Baum is a broadacre farmer from Auburn and also executive officer of the Clare Valley Wine and Grape Association and welcomes the new guidelines. She says smoke taint has been an ongoing issue for the wine industry for many years and hopes these new set of guidelines will make both parties more aware of their responsibilities.
Gather Together:
Centenary Park in Auburn was a hive of activity at the end of March as school groups, Ngadjuri youth and people from different cultures and backgrounds came together to join in on a Ngadjuri Led Inclusive Youth Cultural Event. It was about teaching youth about the Ngadjuri culture and identity, so they can pass on to future generations. Allow young people to connect to land, family, ceremony, and language and unite with other children and young people in particular those that are underprivileged. This story features Ngadjuri youth, children from Auburn Primary and St Joseph's Clare, Sarah Cheesmur from Employment Directions and Angelina Harradine from Ngadjuri country.
