re We’am at te the sa
I am so excited as I think about the 2015 Barossa Vintage Festival and it seems incredible that the celebrations are here already! It has been an honour to serve as the President of the 2015 Barossa Vintage Festival – something I could never have imagined as a child watching the festivities of the street parade, or seeing the brightly coloured maypole towering above the Tanunda Oval. I would like to thank our Barossa community, who once again have contributed so much towards the success of this event. I hope you’ve had an opportunity to explore the fabulous festival programme, and spend some time deliberating over what your 2015 Barossa Vintage Festival calendar will look like. As always, our Barossa community has come up with a fantastic range of events that celebrate both the heritage and culture that we hold dear, as well as the many innovative things that are occurring in the Barossa today. The 2015 Barossa Vintage Festival will have some changes, which came about through community consultations after the last festival. This year’s festival offers a slightly shorter five day format, and has been placed in the school holidays, to allow families the maximum opportunity to enjoy the celebrations. There are four key festival events that I would love to invite you to be part of. The Ziegenmarkt is a fun and important celebration of the Barossa early days of settlement (I remember watching with excitement the recreation of this marketplace from the verandah of my childhood home, on Goat Square).
The Festival Parade is always a riot of colour and creativity, and this year the festivities will continue on to the Tanunda Oval, where Barossa Comes Home will be reminiscent of so many fantastic vintage festivals of years gone by. The Feast is a new take on the Vintage Ball, with the Tanunda Show Hall coming alive with a night of Barossa food, wine and fellowship. One of our desires as a festival committee was to ensure that the festival is a true time of celebration for our local community, both honouring our history and recognising the achievements of our present generations. I wish you a wonderful festival – enjoy everything our Barossa has to offer!

Ziegenmarkt honours Barossa traditions Goat Square is about to be transformed into a bustling German market of the late 1800’s – called Ziegenmarkt; complete with ready-to-eat produce, smallgoods and even a live auction featuring bales of straw, a 10kg tub of sauerkraut and a four-foot-long mettwurst. And while the market will honour the traditions of Barossan food in times gone by (and have most stall-holders dressing up in period costume), it will also embrace contemporary food culture, and the community in the present day. So while you can get your fix of Kranski and Sauerkraut rolls, Kartoffelkuchen (a traditional German potato fritter), Pfannkuchen (a traditional German pancake), and Rote Grütze (a grape-based dessert), you’ll also be able to have granola, yoghurt and a latte for breakfast, purchase freshly cut flowers, visit the Barossa Valley ice-cream lady, or grab a bacon and egg roll from the Gomersal Community group. There’ll also be olive oil, honey biscuits, jams, preserves, cheeses, fruit and vegetables, plus the
Apex Bakery will be selling their Bienenstich and Streuselkucken cakes out of their old van, and even the local school will make an appearance running a cake stall with home-made lemonade. Also happening in the square will be the live auction – featuring a huge range of goodies, a petting zoo, pony rides, and a goat milking display. And if that wasn’t enough for the children – in the middle of their school holidays – the Barossa Public Library is also taking up residence, telling stories to children both in English and German, aptly including Three Billy Goats Gruff. When so many markets look and feel the same, the Ziegenmarkt stands alone in its utterly unique approach, its cross-section of food and delicacies, and its eclectic mix of home-made, hand-crafted goods. A morning to take a step back in time, with one foot firmly in the now.

The quiet village of Bethany is home to some of the strongest remaining links to the German-speaking immigrants who moved to the now-famous valley in 1842. During this year’s Barossa Vintage Festival you are invited to take part in the activities of the village, centred around the Bethany Lutheran Church and focused on the history and the culture of the Barossa’s first settlement. But if you’re expecting lederhosen and thighslapping, you might be surprised. The Silesian immigrants actually came from a different part of Germany than their lederhosenwearing neighbours. In fact, the first settlers in Bethany came from the former Kingdom of Prussia (which, if you overlay onto one of today’s maps includes part of eastern Germany, Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Denmark, Belgium, Czech Republic and Switzerland) and more specifically Silesia. Originally known as Bethanien (Bett-arn-eeanne), the village actually owes its existence to the congregation of Lutheran people who established the village. The pioneering families cleared the woodland to establish a village in a Prussian Hufendorf style (hufen = farmlet). The long narrow strips of land reflected the farming community the families knew from home, with cottages dotted along the village street, and farming strips reaching behind them and along the creek. The village layout remains basically unchanged. The first church service was held under a tree, and while the original house of worship is no longer, the current Bethany church has been the centre of the village since it was built in 1883 (at a cost of 723 pounds, using bluestone from the Schrapel quarry in the foothills at the eastern end of the village). If you plan your visit to Bethany on April 16, you will be able to listen to the pipe organ recital in the church from 1-2 p.m. (entry by donation). The role of the Lutheran pastors and school teachers
has always been crucial in Bethany. The first resident minister was Pastor Heinrich Meyer, from 1846 to 1862. He is buried at Bethany Pioneer Cemetery, which you can visit on a guided historic walk on April 15-17. The walks depart the church at both 9.30 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. There is a small charge, adults $4 and children $2. Included in the activities at the Bethany Lutheran Church will be a very modern take on Sunday School, known as Godly Play. You can also take in plenty of history at the ‘Step back in Time’ display, which is open from 10 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. each day between April 13 and 17. The Silesian migrants made their way by ox cart to Bethany (and you will be able to find a traditional wagon among this year’s display) and they set to work building their homes, growing crops and grazing animals. All week you will be able to see some of the skills that have survived from the early days in Bethany, when the self-sufficient village relied on the hardwork and different skills of its villagers: noodle making, butter churning, rope making and timber craftsmanship are just some of the examples. The activities and working displays put on by the members of the Bethany Lutheran Church will provide a snapshot into village life throughout the history of this special part of the Barossa. Light lunches and devonshire teas will be served daily. If you want to further immerse yourself in the village, then you should book a spot at the storytelling evening on April 16. You will be treated to stories around the campfire and enjoy a ‘schluck and a schnitte’ (Barossa Deutsch for a ‘little bit to drink and a little bit to eat’ - but if you know Bethany hospitality, you’ll know there’s nothing little about their meals). For story-telling evening bookings call David on 0418 632 006.

the aforementioned chefs catering specifically to children. Music will fill the front lawn, with special guest Ash Gale during the afternoon providing the tunes. The children can be entertained with large scale old school games, a scoop of Barossa Valley ice cream, cooking classes with Rosa Matto, face painting or perhaps even getting their hands dirty with some pottery from Really Useful Pots. Before you leave the Festival Garden you can fill your arms with local produce from Kurianda Barossa, Trevallie Orchards, Barossa Country Biscuits or the collection of producers at the Farmers Market Stall and then catch a glimpse of the Yalumba coopers plying their trade.

Barossa Wine Chapters Auction 2015 Barossa as the leading fine wine region in Australia with 30 Barossa wines listed in the latest classification, the largest number from a single region. “This is a Barossa wine auction not to be missed,” said James March, Chief Executive of BGWA. “With nearly 300 lots from 60 wineries on offer, there is a full range of Barossa wines to choose from. “The Barossa winemakers have been generous in searching out rare vertical collections of back vintages, special releases, large format and Langton’s Classified Wines. “A particular highlight is a rare collection of wines from the late Peter Lehmann’s own cellar, with Dave and Phil Lehmann curating the wines to ensure that they are the best representatives of the wines in the cellar from the 1960’s and 1970’s.” Other highlights of the auction are from iconic Barossa producers such as Henschke, with a one-off Imperial of the 2009 Hill of Grace, Torbreck and Grant Burge Wines. Artisanal wineries, such as Tscharke and Glen Eldon, are entering the auction for the first time plus a number of money can’t buy experiences are being offered. A philanthropic tradition that was established at the first auction in 1965 continues with the net proceeds of the auction going to supporting the Barossa Vintage Festival and local charities. Money has already been raised for a range of charities through the complementary “Lunch with a Barossa Legend” table auction that was held in December with nearly $3,000 going to winemakers’ nominated charities.

Avid wine collectors and enthusiasts can create their own Barossa wine collection, direct from Barossa winemakers’ cellars, by bidding in the Barossa Wine Chapters Auction in April, 2015. For the first time in the auction’s 50 year history, prospective buyers can bid online from April 2 to April 17, meaning they can take part in the auction from anywhere in Australia and around the world. In addition, the live auction is still being held in the Barossa on Friday, April 17, continuing the tradition of the excitement and sense of occasion that a live auction creates. A special selection of wine and experiences are being auctioned live, by Andrew Caillard MW, complemented by a Barossa inspired lunch at the Wolf Blass Visitor Centre. The Barossa Wine Chapters Auction, presented by the Barossa Grape & Wine Association (BGWA), is the evolution of the Barossa Wine Auction that has been held as part of the Barossa Vintage Festival since 1965. Taking inspiration from other renowned auctions such as Hospice de Beaune and Auction Napa Valley, BGWA is setting the ambitious goal for the auction to earn its place as one of the world’s top regional wine auctions in the next 10 years. Partnering with Langton’s is an important step in taking the auction to the next level. Langton’s expertise lies in fine wine auctions and delivering auctions through an online platform, giving all prospective buyers the confidence in the quality and provenance of the wines being offered. The Langton’s Classification of Australian wine is also critically important in positioning

My time as 2013 Barossa Vintage Festival Young Ambassador By Emily Kroschel Lots has definitely happened in the last two years. During my time mentoring the new 2015 Ambassadors I remembered how nervous I was going through the same process as they have. Now it is all drawing to an end and a great time to reflect. The 2013 programme was run by Sarah Noack and the Vintage Festival Committee and we had a great year. We had some ups and downs, but so did the entire Vintage Festival. So for 2015, Sarah Noack, Linda Parbs and myself planned a slightly different programme for the Ambassadors - not diving them into the deep end.... more of a mentoring programme which so far, is running just to plan. 2015 Vintage Festival is being run by Tourism Barossa, who are overseeing the running of the Young Ambassador Programme, but it has run independently this year. We have simplified the programme into mentoring information sessions, the bus trips - that give the ambassadors an insight into the running of local businesses, their personal projects and then dividing them into the four main events run by Tourism Barossa during the 2015 Barossa Vintage Festival. During my time as ambassador I have achieved a lot, both community wise and personally. Firsty, I got married to my amazingly supportive husband Matthew, who listened to every idea I had during the lead up to winning Young Ambassador, but then also after when I was given the opportunity to build the 2015 programme. I was invited to many different events or meetings to talk about myself and the programme, so many opportunities were in front of me, that perhaps might not have been there before. I used my prize money to travel to America in late 2014, where we visited the Napa Valley, a region so similar to ours in many ways, in the eyes of a tourist. My aim for the trip was to better my knowledge on how to inform tourists of our region and to meet their needs in all different aspects. I am currently working at Barossa Valley Cheese Company in Angaston, where we see over 50,000 plus visitors per year. With every one of those customers, I feel the need to pour my passion of the Barossa onto them and work out the best plans for them to enjoy their day. Our recent ambassador visit to the Barossa Library has made this passion pour out even quicker. It’s amazing the way you can teach visitors the pride and love we have for our home here. So
the research we did during our trip was definitely worthwhile. I was also able to finish my TAFE studies with the remaining of my award, receiving my Diploma in Events Management, and then adding to that with further studies during the Future Leader’s Programme, which I was also asked to attend after becoming Ambassador. I have stayed a part of the community in many ways including several committees, staying involved and taking part in things. You may have all heard about my success at the Angaston Show. Two second places aren’t bad for someone that’s never made cheese at home before!! But my biggest task since becoming ambassador has been the 2015 Ambassador programme. I have been able to mentor the next 12 young people through their lessons, projects, bus trips and their involvement in the sub-committees. I am also on the Vintage Festival committee and have found this a great learning experience. The programme has a great connection with the Vintage Festival, Tourism Barossa and the festival director, Andrew Dundon have been extremely patient and helpful towards us and the Young Ambassador programme. Cannot wait for the 2015 announcement and to see what the new Ambassador has to bring to the planning committee so we can continue this tradition for another festival. My favourite events for the 2015 festival would be: Wednesday, April 15 - Yalumba Festival Garden. Thursday, April 16 - Ziegenmarkt, Goat Square. Friday, April 17 - The Feast. Saturday, April 18 - Barossa Comes Home. Funnily enough I’ll be at all four of these events with my Barossa Cheese hat on, but cannot wait to be a part of these fantastic community events, that are mostly family friendly and affordable. The Feast will be the time to celebrate glitz and glam - so for all of you that want a look at the Ambassadors with their hair down and on parade, this will be the event to get to! I hope that everyone (local or visiting) gets to at least one Vintage Festival event. The committee have gone to great lengths for this year’s festival to start going back to our roots. There are lots of changes that have been made, but most of these improvements! Make sure if you have your usual local commitments, that you still get to another event that suits you! As they are all too good to be missed!

Noticed something different around town lately? Maybe a bit more straw? A bit more colour popping up around shop-fronts, gardens, vineyards and fields? Yep, the scarecrows are back! And this year there are almost 70 of them, all hailing the start of the Barossa Vintage Festival. Now running for ten years, The Scarecrow Trail has become a unique community art form. Lovingly hand-crafted using a range of materials, they have been devised and assembled by local children, families, wineries and businesses and range from the wacky to the extraordinary. The community is asked to participate by voting for their favourite scarecrow in the ‘People’s Choice’ category, with the most popular to receive a $1,000 travel voucher from Clarke and Turner Travel Associates. The winning scarecrow will be announced at Barossa Comes Home on April 18 at Tanunda Oval. Voting may be undertaken by dropping a form into the Visitor’s Information Centre, or by taking a selfie with a scarecrow and uploading it to Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #BVFscarecrow. Some of the intriguing and eclectic characters along the Trail include: Clary Sage and The Droid in Angaston, Bill and Ben in Greenock, Watermelon Man and Witch Wine in Nuriootpa, Maggie the Milliner in Seppeltsfield, Lego Man in Stockwell and Craneford Cronies in Truro. Meanwhile Tanunda has gone hard with its contribution - from Bertha the Vintage Queen, Gondola Ride and Despicable to Granny and Papa with Harry the Dog, Jack’s Annual Bath, The Water Worrier and Yoska and Virag. So, if you haven’t ever followed The Scarecrow Trail through the Barossa, this is the year to do it! Grab a car-load of friends and family or take the cycling route. You never know who you might see. Good Shepherd Lutheran Scarecrow maps are available from School’s “Olaf”. barossavintagefestival.com.au/scarecrow

The Barossa Vintage Festival Parade on Saturday, April 18, has been a treasured tradition since 1949, and is considered the most boisterous biennial event in the Barossa. More than 70 floats will travel along the Barossa Valley Way between Nuriootpa and Tanunda and will end at Tanunda Oval as Barossa Comes Home begins. Everyone’s involved, from the 1st Nuriootpa Scouts, Liebich Limousines and Barossa Goldfields Historical Society to The Grapes of Ross, Barossa Valley Pony Club and Chateau Tanunda and so much more. It’s a fun day and highlights the tightly bound community that makes the Barossa such a beautiful and interesting place to call home - or if you’re from out of town, to visit. Stake out your spot among the thousands of locals and visitors who line the route with pavement picnics, brunches and sausage sizzles and be sure to pack your esky. This is the longest parade in the Southern Hemisphere.

It has been a busy time over the past few months getting out to explore as much of this beautiful electorate as I can. Thank you all for your time, it is always a pleasure to meet you and hear your concerns.

In Parliament, we have been discussing major changes to WorkCover legislation and I do sincerely hope that the new system is fairer for employees and will provide some welcome relief to struggling businesses’ high costs. If you would like further information on the changes please contact my office.

In terms of the high cost of running a household, we have seen large increases in the Emergency Services Levy really hit home, especially the unfairness this increase has on those who volunteer their time in our emergency services. We are a community built on volunteer spirit and this is just another hurdle that will erode that goodwill and discourage people from volunteering.

WE PICK UP & DELIVER!
We have seen that our water rates are really a tax that is being used to prop up the Weatherill Labor Government budget. This has been hard for residents but would have had a much worse impact on our vignerons were it not for the foresight and great work of Barossa Infrastructure Limited. I was proud to show State Liberal Leader Steven Marshall around BIL and show him the innovative response to water security in the Barossa.

I have continued to fight for a new hospital and will not stop until it is built. In order to present the best case to government, we need to be prepared to work towards the best solution for the community as a whole and to be united in our cause. I am looking forward to the upcoming review of health services in the region and talking to all stakeholders on the issue.

Thank you to everyone that has responded to our Roads Register. This has really helped to solidify my understanding of the priorities and help me advocate for change.
5 Vintages - 10 Years
I have been encouraged by the recent Barossa Council Rural Areas and Character Review and look forward to seeing changes that will give greater freedom to our agricultural sector to value add their produce. I would love to hear from those of you who have been through the planning process. In order for the region to continue to grow and prosper we must make sure we get the planning system right.

On behalf of Courtney, Brendan and Sam in the Schubert office as well as Amy, Ruby and myself, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year.

It’s the end of vintage: the grapes are crushed, the Harvest is done and among the 750 grape growing families of the Barossa Valley, it’s time to get together and celebrate. Or if you’ve been away, it’s your very own Welcome Home Party – and a rich celebration of all things Barossan. Set on the Tanunda Oval, Barossa Comes Home is an open-house picnic, where locals invite the rest of the world in to taste the fruits of their toils and the loves of their labour. And in 2015, there’s a lot! Special features include grape treadings, a market bazaar, children’s entertainment (including a bouncy castle and merry-go-round), the Bund der Bayern German Dance Club and

handcrafted, functional, or simply special. The Keyneton Heritage Trail is a 9.2 km loop circuit with eight major sites marked with interpretive signs mounted on epidote rock indigenous to Keyneton and supplied by Barossa Quarries. The historical provenance of each site reveals links to a distinct theme of faith and temperance. From George Fife Angas’ son-in-law, pioneering North Rhine settler, Henry Evans’ support of three acres (1.2ha) to the dissenting Alte Lutherische to build a church and school for their fledgling congregation; to the district’s first English school serving as a house of worship, and meeting house for the District Council of North Rhine; and the Temperance Hotel built at by Henry’s widow, Sarah Lindsay Evans, serving non alcoholic beverages. History of the sites is supported with guide pamphlets enabled through a Community Projects and Events Grant from the Mid Murray Council containing a map to self-guide trail users to numerous additional points of interest.
Keyneton residents looking forward to welcoming all comers on April 19 to the Village Fair on the Keyneton Heritage Trail.

April 13 & 14 - Teenage Class DH2649-V2
The Keyneton Heritage Trail is a new feature on the local landscape being launched at a village fair on Sunday, April 19. The Village Fair is an event for all the family to enjoy from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. with children’s activities, displays, fabulous food, and Rehn Bier, Heathvale and Evandale Estate wines providing non temperant beverages. A permanent attraction for walkers and sightseeing tourists created by the Keyneton Progress Association, the trail shares history along local roadways central to the settlement of North Rhine (now Keyneton) and will be blessed by Pastor Erik Braunack-Mayer at the official launch to open the Village Fair. The Village Fair also takes a nod from history, inspired by the 1872 opening of the North Rhine Band of Hope’s hall for temperance meetings (now the Keyneton Soldiers’ Memorial Hall). A bazaar will once again be a major feature with the hall gayly decorated and stalls ladened with produce homemade,

“In many ways, Rick Burge reminds me of legendary Hunter Valley winemaker Maurice O’Shea. Like O’Shea, he releases some stand-alone wines under different, cryptically coded labels each year that are driven by the peculiarity of the seasons rather than conforming to a pre-determined marketing plan.” Max Allen – ‘The Future Makers’
