Adelaide Cabaret Festival set to sizzle

Get ready to be dazzled by the biggest and brightest program to date, as Adelaide Cabaret Festival goes all out to celebrate Adelaide Festival Centre's 50th Anniversary in June. Adelaide's favourite winter festival is set to sizzle with a lineup of performances that promise to be unforgettable.

This year's program has been meticulously curated by a star-studded line-up of nine previous Artistic Directors, collectively known as The Cabaret Collective. Featuring renowned names like Julia Holt, David Campbell, Lisa Campbell, Kate Ceberano, Eddie Perfect, Ali McGregor, Julia Zemiro, Alan Cumming, and Tina Arena, each has brought their own unique flair to the program. Expect a captivating blend of cabaret classics and fresh performances by emerging artists, showcasing the rich diversity of the genre. Among this year’s highlights is an Australian premiere of Ali McGregor, who shares her golden 50th year with Adelaide Festival Centre, bringing her brand-new show to the cabaret stage, Fool’s Gold.

“Australians do cabaret well. Theatre has branches that take you to both familiar and unimaginable places and Adelaide Cabaret Festival is The Magic Faraway Tree of festivals,” says Ali McGregor. Another program highlight is one of Australia’s most prolific writers and composers,

Eddie Perfect (Shane Warne: The Musical, Beetlejuice) who brings a new program to the stage - The Blank Page with Eddie Perfect. “My cabaret heart has always been obsessed with the creation and development of new works and new songs for the stage and my picks in this year’s program largely focus on that. Adelaide Cabaret Festival has been instrumental in my development as a composer and lyricist, so I’m excited to provide those opportunities to the next generation of original Australian writers,” says Eddie Perfect. South Australian cabaret stars featured this year include the legendary Robyn Archer presenting An Australian Songbook, spanning 150 years of Australian voices from rock, folk, country, and musical theatre. Adelaide Cabaret Festival Icon Award 2022 winner Libby O’Donovan joins renowned jazz vocalist Michelle Nicolle and The Yankalilla Miracles to belt out hit songs from the 60s to the 90s in More Than A Melody. Helpmann Award winner Michael Griffiths gets personal in the world premiere of It’s A Sin - Songs of Love and Shame, and fresh from RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, Kween Kong takes to the stage in a variety extravaganza celebrating the best of drag, burlesque, circus, and cabaret.

Jazz lovers are in for a treat with a new festival exclusive show hand-picked by Kate Ceberano, where ARIA Award Winner Vince Jones performs the much-loved songs from the ABC television series Come In Spinner soundtrack, which became the highest-selling Australian jazz album of all time.

“Cabaret is incredibly inventive and almost beyond description. The audience experience can be as big or as small as the artist intends

it to be – on their terms, in their words, in their safe place offering their heart and soul," says Kate Ceberano.

With more free events than ever before, audiences can hear from some of our Cabaret Collective in Artistic Directors in Conversation with Julia Holt in the Quartet Bar and those who love a singalong can join Carol’s Cabaret Choir where audiences will belt out tear jerking torch songs led by Adelaide’s favourite community choir conductor and renowned musical director, Carol Young.

Festival favourite Dr Trevor Jones – The Piano Man is back at the Festival Theatre foyer Quartet Bar nightly, plus will host a brand-new Show Tunes Trivia night. And the Corryton Burge Bar and Cabaret Lounge return as the perfect places for patrons to settle into a quiet corner or keep the party going between shows.

The popular LGBTIQ+ Elders Dance Club by All The Queens Men, the fabulous afternoon tea dance party for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, gender diverse and intersex elders and all allies, will be held at The Quartet Bar. Partygoers can revel in the atmosphere of this year’s late-night line-up, which will be hosted by a different artist each week and feature guest performers and impromptu performances. Who knows who might appear on stage each night?

Produced and presented by Adelaide Festival Centre, this doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of this year's spectacular Adelaide Cabaret Festival. The festival has grown from modest beginnings in 2001 to become Australia’s major winter festival and the largest cabaret festival in the world.

23 JUNE 2023, DUNSTAN PLAYHOUSE

Prolific Australian trumpeter, singer, and composer/arranger Roscoe James Irwin (The Cat Empire, The Bamboos) presents a hauntingly beautiful journey through the sounds and songs of one of the most revered yet tortured figures in popular jazz history, Chet Baker.

Joined by a jazz trio and string orchestra, Irwin will present his own gorgeous reworkings of Baker's classic material, with all the cinematic romance, heartbreak, and soul of 1950s California.

Moving through to the uplifting jazz and ragtime songs of Melody Gardot and Johnny Mercer, audiences will feel their smiles return once more.

Catch of the day without the catch

Stay rodent-free this winter

Advice from the experts at Allstate Pest Control

With the cold weather sweeping in, it’s a popular time for rats to seek shelter and warmth inside your house. Unfortunately, rats are among the worst houseguests you could have. Beyond the noise and smells, they contaminate your food – spreading germs and serious disease. They are also infamously skilled gnawers, chewing their way through walls, timber, insulation and electrical wiring, which could potentially start a fire.

To avoid the stress of having rats plague your house this winter, we have put together our top 5 recommendations from our rat control experts.

To avoid the stress of having rats plague your house this winter, we have put together our top 5 recommendations from our rat control experts.

RSPCA’s Million Paws Walk

Dogs don’t usually make it past the gate at Adelaide’s much-loved Botanic Gardens, but on Sunday May 28 they can enjoy privileged, one-day only access if their owners buy tickets to RSPCA’s Million Paws Walk – the well-known charity’s main fundraising event for the year.

A successful “mini” Million Paws Walk in the Botanic Garden last year prompted the Garden authority to allow the main event to be staged inside the walled oasis this year. The date coincides with Botanic Gardens Day, an annual celebration in Australia and New Zealand of the work done within botanical gardens to conserve plants for future generations.

RSPCA SA’s CEO Marcus Gehrig praised last year’s participants for paving the way for the much-loved annual fundraiser to return.

“Everyone seemed to understand the privileged access they were enjoying, and did the right thing in terms of sticking to the paths, keeping their dogs under control….and, of-course, having poo bags at the ready,” says Marcus.

1. Seal entry points

Rats can squeeze and gnaw through small openings so it’s important to regularly inspect your home and cover over any gaps with wire mesh, sheet metal, steel wool, or hardware cloth.

2. Maintain your backyard

Reduce hiding spots and access to your home by keeping a clear perimeter around your home. We suggest trimming excess foliage and vegetation, removing backyard clutter and piles of organic matter, and mowing lawns regularly.

3. Manage waste properly

The strong smell of decomposing food and waste is an attractant for rats, so we recommend disposing of all waste regularly, ensuring bins have tight fitting lids and avoiding open compost heaps.

4. Remove clutter inside and outside

Regularly check less-frequented areas of your home to identify spots where rats hide, breed and nest. Removing rubbish, old furniture and cars, appliances or other hard waste items can reduce your chances of a rat outbreak.

5. Use rat baits, traps and poison with caution

You can use cage traps inside your home, however baits and poison are best reserved for outdoor use to keep children and pets out of harm’s way. If you are unsure about how to safely use them, it’s best to contact and speak to Allstate Pest Control for professional advice.

While there are many ways to deter rats from entering your home, sometimes DIY methods are simply not enough. Our experienced rat control technicians can help you with safe solutions that get rid of rats for good. Allstate Pest Control, 686 South Rd, Glandore allstatepest.com.au

“We encourage every participant to share their fundraising page with family and friends so they, too, can contribute to care costs for our state’s most vulnerable animals.”

Participants can choose between two signposted 1.8km or 3.1km walks, both starting from the Garden’s Conservatory Gate located off Plane Tree Drive, anytime between 9am to 12pm. A Million Paws Walk Village in Botanic Park (opposite the Garden, on Plane Tree Drive) will have food and festivities to enjoy before and after doing the walk.

“We think this is now the best Million Paws Walk in the country – what better way to spend a Sunday morning than strolling through this greenery with others who share a passion for animals and their welfare.” Register

RSPCA South Australia relies on donations from the community to support animals residing in its three shelters and with volunteer foster carers.

Currently, the organisation has almost one thousand animals in care.

“We definitely need a funding boost ahead of the high-demand winter months,” says Marcus.

ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE X JAMFACTORY

Celebrate Golden Anniversaries with Special Collaboration

In the spirit of celebration, Adelaide Festival Centre has commissioned a special set of brooch designs by local artists which will be available for purchase in commemoration of Adelaide Festival Centre’s 50th Anniversary. The brooches have been skilfully designed and created by artists from Adelaide’s JamFactory, and mark a special anniversary for both arts organisations, with JamFactory also celebrating their half century in 2023.

The brooch designs were created by JamFactory jewellery designers Kath Inglis and Danielle Barrie with one brooch representing the iconic white shells of Adelaide Festival Centre and the other representing the colour and movement of the performers that grace the stages of Adelaide Festival Centre. The two designs are limited editions - one is made of sterling silver and the other a mix of silver and titanium. The brooches can be viewed and orders placed online or at the Festival Theatre foyer merchandise counter during selected performance times. Along with the brooches, other items available for sale include a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle, a travel mug, and an apron featuring a design of the Riverbank Precinct. A commemorative coffee table book The Adelaide Festival Centre: Celebrating 50 years will also be available for sale from June 2.

A tasty treat, State Library’s menu collection

The State Library of South Australia’s newest exhibition Sweet and Savoury: Menus from the collections of the State Library is on display until the end of June.

Menus are kept as part of the State Library’s ephemera collection. Ephemera is material which is designed to be short lived - such as posters, handbills, programs and more. These everyday items are a record of South Australian life and social customs, arts and popular culture, and local and national issues.

From the plain to the ornate and from the simply functional to the beautiful, the State Library has many thousands of menus. This exhibition looks at menus from our oldest, a dinner at Government House in 1867, through to those recently acquired from South Australian restaurants large and small celebrating cuisines from around the world.

The menu collection has many hidden stories, showing not just how our eating and drinking tastes have changed, but also the changing styles of graphic design.

It’s time for a scavenger hunt

Using clues on the back of the bookmark available at the Library, see what you can find on the menus on display. Menus tell us more than what food is on offer, they hold lots of hidden stories.

ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

When Adelaide Festival Centre opened its doors 50 years ago, our city was changed forever. It opened our eyes to the world, opened our minds to new forms of art, and opened our hearts to the joy of live performance. Over the past five decades, the centre has become one of the nation's great performing arts centres, providing arts for all and forging the way as a cultural leader and collaborator, thanks to the support of artists, audiences, staff, donors and supporters.

The year was 1973. The prototype of the mobile phone has just been invented.

MASH was Australia’s favourite TV show, Bette Midler won her first Grammy for ‘Best New Talent.’ And In South Australia, Adelaide Festival Centre was born.

Envisioned by Steele Hall in the late 60s, and championed by Premier Don Dunstan, Adelaide Festival Centre officially opened on June 2, 1973 by Dunstan, Australian Prime Minister at the time Gough Whitlam and Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Robert Porter. Adelaide Festival Centre was the first capital arts centre in Australia, preceding Sydney Opera House and Arts Centre Melbourne, and guaranteed South Australia’s place on the national and international stage.

Adelaide Festival Centre CEO, Douglas Gautier AM:

“This was a time of great energy, enthusiasm, and transformation and when arts and culture were acknowledged as being central to creating and maintaining a thriving city and society. Something we know to be true to this day.

“It took bold vision and action to get the Adelaide Festival Centre initiative off the ground and in turn, to establish South Australia’s reputation as a centre

for arts, culture, and creativityfrom the design and architecture to the artists and performances on the many stages within the iconic shell shaped building.

“South Australians flocked to the new theatre and embraced Adelaide Festival Centre and saw the Riverbank come to life, a place where people could come together and enjoy arts and entertainment.”

Designed by architect John Morphett and taking almost three years to construct, Adelaide Festival Centre is renowned as a notable example of modernist architecture

and unique for its ability to remain relevant through the decades.  Countless stars have graced the stages, and while the backstage corridors of the centre are covered in pictures from the past decades, the arts centre remains future focused, presenting contemporary performances that are entertaining, educational, at times challenging and even immersive.

Five festivals now call Adelaide Festival Centre home, catering for our diverse Australian audiences and reflecting their culture and demographics throughout the festival programs:  DreamBIG Children’s Festival, OzAsia Festival, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Adelaide Guitar Festival and OurMOB festival, each provide exceptional opportunities for artists whilst also ensuring audiences are offered the highest quality arts experiences.  The programming within these festivals aims to harness the power of culture to bring us together both practically and metaphorically.  Civic society that operates harmoniously has a rich understanding of global cultures and art. This takes us right back to the beginning, where a key driver for the radical cultural infrastructure plans and reform that Premier Don Dunstan implemented fifty years ago were all based on a desire to ensure South Australians lived in social harmony with strong cultural awareness.

Douglas Gautier and staff at the centre see the effect of the arts has on audiences daily:

“We love hearing South Australians reminisce about how a show, performance, or exhibition they saw has impacted them or left a lasting impression.

From children through to adults experiencing the magic of live performance for the very first time, to arts lovers who have become stalwarts of our community and know the place back to front.

“Seeing the faces of audience members while watching a show, sometimes laughing and delighted, other times surprised or in tears, it’s easy to see that performances have the potential to transform and bring communities together.”

From blockbuster musicals to supporting local and emerging artists as part of Adelaide Festival Centre curated programs including InSpace for independent theatre companies, through to family entertainment and a year-round program of festivals, the centre is also home to several South Australian artscompanies including State Theatre Company South Australia, Sate Opera South Australia, Windmill Theatre Co, Slingsby Theatre, Restless Dance Theatre, Patch, No Strings Attached, Adelaide Symphony

Orchestra, Australian Dance Theatre, Brink Productions, Australian String Quartet and Adelaide Festival.

“We are consistently proud supporters of local artists and arts-workers and we are honoured to employ some of the most passionate and creative people in the country,” says Gautier.

“Adelaide Festival Centre has always been a place that artists and producers both locally and around the world have celebrated for it skilled and passionate workforce, enthusiastic audiences and rich history.”

In celebration of a wonderful 50 years, Adelaide Festival Centre is set to hold a party like no other this year. Adelaide Festival Centre 50th Anniversary Celebration Concert will take place at the iconic Festival Theatre. With performances by an all-star South Australian line-up followed by an after-party celebration featuring cake, cocktails and DJ’s. This is a party not to be missed.

Hosted by Libby O’Donovan OAM, Adelaide Festival Centre 50th Anniversary Celebration Concert will celebrate Adelaide Festival Centre’s in-house festivals. The concert will feature the talents of Adelaide Guitar Festival Artistic Director Slava Grigoryan, Sharon Grigoryan, Nancy Bates, Michael Griffiths, Counterpoint Ensemble, Lazaro Numa and the Dream Big Children’s Choir.

Audiences will share in toe tapping numbers, musical virtuosity, songs, stories, laughter, and memories; with a program written and directed by South Australian performer and creative Johanna Allen.

Johanna Allen says her love of theatre was born from seeing her first ever live performance as a little girl at Adelaide Festival Centre’s Dunstan Playhouse.

“I was four years old, and I went to a production of the South Australian Children’s ballet. I didn’t really know what I was going to, or whether I would like it. But as soon as the lights went down, I realised this was my world, I had caught the magic,” says Johanna.

“Going to performances at Adelaide Festival Centre was undoubtedly the catalyst for my chosen career. The incredible centre is 50 years young and it’s the cultural hear- beat of our city. Come join the party – the cake is on us!”

For Douglas Gautier, the 50th Anniversary concert will be a full-circle moment:

“I had the privilege of performing at the opening concert in 1973 on the Festival Theatre stage, it was an unforgettable moment.

“This time, 50 years later, will be just as memorable and I’ll be watching from the audience and celebrating all that’s been and all that’s still to come for the heart of the arts in Adelaide. We warmly extend an invitation to all to join us in celebrating this special milestone.” In addition to the concert, an exclusive exhibition, Turn Up Your Radio which celebrates 50 years of Adelaide’s music scene will also open on June 2. The exhibition will feature music memorabilia including original handwritten song lyrics, costumes, photographs and gig posters from South Australia’s best-known bands and will include photographs submitted by music lovers, amateur photographers, gig attendees and professional photographers. Turn Up Your radio will be open to the public Thursdays and Saturdays from 10am to 3pm during show times in Festival Theatre Galleries until August 14.   For 50 years, Adelaide Festival Centre has entertained South Australians sharing the very best in arts and entertainment for all. So come along - you’re invited to the party, to share in the joy, the success and continuing future story of a place we all belong to.  Come and share the Birthday cake!

FIFTY GOLDEN YEARS OF JAMFACTORY

JamFactory celebrates 50 years of supporting and promoting innovative and outstanding craft and design.

Established in 1973 as a visionary initiative of the South Australian government, there is still no other organisation in Australia that can rival the breadth and scope of its activities and promotion of contemporary craft and design. Through its training programs, studios, galleries, and shops it has nurtured and supported the careers of hundreds of artists, craftspeople and designers.

The original JamFactory was established as a craft training workshop in an old jam factory on Payneham Road, St Peters, and was home to a gallery, shop and artist studios practicing glass, ceramics, leather, textiles, and jewellery design. In 1992, JamFactory moved to its current facility in the heart of Adelaide’s West End Creative Precinct. The textile and leather workshops closed, jewellery expanded to

155 years of Footwear

Grundy’s Shoes, a proud South Australian family owned and operated business, is now in their 155th year, spanning 7 generations and counting.

The oldest continuous Rundle Street trader and one of the oldest family businesses in South Australia, there is much to celebrate. Setting in motion the establishment of the family business over 155 years ago, Thomas Judd emigrated as a 10 year old boy with his family from England aboard the sailing ship Taymouth Castle in 1855. In a twist of fate, Thomas tripped and broke his leg on the voyage, which was poorly set by the ship’s surgeon. Corrective shoes were not readily available in the fledgling colony, so Thomas, with the help of his bootmaker uncle, learnt how to make his own shoes.

In 1868 Thomas opened The Star Boot Manufactory on East Terrace and in 1889 moved to larger premises on Rundle Street. Over the years the business evolved, with names you may remember, Judds, Barlows and Grundy’s.

Founded by Thomas Judd, the Whittenbury name came into the business in 1895 when Stanley Whittenbury married third generation

include metal design and a furniture design studio was launched. In 2013 JamFactory launched a satellite site at Seppeltsfield estate in the Barossa Valley. Housed in the estate’s architecturally restored historic horse stables, the site provides an exhibition space, shop and studio spaces for local artisans, from knife making and millinery, to glass and leather. At the core of JamFactory are the four studios in Ceramics, Glass, Furniture, and Jewellery/ Metal that provide a skills and business Associate Program for artists and designers. As well as developing local talent, the studios attract outstanding artists and designers from around Australia and across the globe. The organisation provides an important public interface between professional art, craft, and design practitioners and the wider public. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about and be inspired by the curated exhibition program and can watch artists in action in the on-site studios.

Celebrations for the 50th anniversary will take place across the year with exhibitions and special events as well as limited edition products including a tote bag featuring custom artwork by Billie Justice Thomson and a colourful Kink Oil Bottle.

RSPCA’S new Animal Care Campus

The most impactful animal welfare project in South Australian history

A new Animal Care Campus being built 30 kilometres south of the city is a game-changing development for animal welfare in this state, according to the CEO of RSPCA South Australia Marcus Gehrig. The foundations are now being poured for the $28m project, which will include the state’s first dedicated wildlife hospital.

The organisation is currently spread across two sites, with administration, the inspectorate and rescue team based in Stepney and the animal care (including veterinary treatment) occurring at a shelter built back in the late seventies within an industrial zone at Lonsdale. The new development will comprise of the wildlife hospital, modern companion animal care services and accommodation, a multifunctional community education centre and centralised RSPCA South Australia rescue, inspectorate and administration services.

“We’ve come a long way since the Lonsdale shelter was built in terms of our appreciation and understanding of animals. Hiding them out of sight and out of mind in an industrial zone might have been okay back in the 70s, but it’s certainly not okay now. Relocating to this bigger and more prominent site will help us expand the myriad of ways we already help animals and provide our community with a greater idea of what we do for our state's most vulnerable animals,” says Marcus.

The campus will be accessible for native fauna rescue groups across the state to bring in injured wildlife for treatment, and will be the central hub for the more than 1,300 community foster care volunteers. The development is expected to double the number of animals RSPCA South Australia cares for each year.

The campus is anticipated to open in April next year, and until then the organisation will continue to operate out of Stepney and Lonsdale on leaseback arrangements with the properties’ new owners. The move to brandnew, purpose-built facilities cannot come soon enough.

“Our Lonsdale teams, in particular, are relieved to have just one more winter to get through –the kennels flooded so badly on a night last November that staff had to rescue some of our dogs, and it’s a battle to keep them cool during heat waves,” says Marcus.

Proceeds from last year’s sales of the Lonsdale and Stepney properties are contributing to the $28m construction cost, but the charity needs community donations to meet a $3m shortfall.

“At the new campus, our animals will enjoy climatecontrolled accommodation – it will be like the Ritz compared to the current facilities, which are well and truly obsolete."

"Relocating to this bigger and more prominent site will help us expand the myriad of ways we already help animals and provide our community with a greater idea of what we do for our state's most vulnerable animals."

The new campus is located in O’Halloran Hill on the north-west corner of the South and Majors Roads intersection. The sevenhectare site, provided to the charity by the State Government, sits within the community precinct of Glenthorne National Park. According to Marcus, it puts animals in need where they belong.

EUROPE AND CRUISE SHOP THE PARADE

In conversation with Dr David Gaimster

New Director of the SA Museum

Dr David Gaimster comes to the South Australian Museum with a wealth of knowledge and experience from Europe to Australasia. He has a broad background in the arts, culture and heritage, and for the past six years, he has directed the Auckland Museum.

We chat with David about his international experience, his vision for the SA Museum and his move to Adelaide.

HOW WILL YOU USE YOUR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AT THE SA MUSEUM?

Having worked in two hemispheres has given me a bit of a bird's eye view of the industry. And a real perspective of challenges and opportunities, directions and trends, in our sector internationally. Through that, I see museums becoming increasingly more research-driven, more participatory with communities, serving diverse communities and identities and really evolving this museum as a site of investigation, social cohesion, and reconciliation.

So I'm hoping to use this experience to cement SA Museum's position and reach into the community. And beyond that, I really want to see the museum's position grow as a cultural gateway to South Australia, to its unique communities, to its stories and landscapes. Be more of an observatory, say for social change, climate change, and an agent for building and developing a more cohesive society. That sort of social impact is going to be increasingly important for museums in the next few years.

TELL US ABOUT THE VISION YOU HAVE FOR THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM.

My focus areas are really invested in inspiring curiosity and learning through developing new compelling experiences on multiple platforms in which the museum operates - that's onsite, offsite, and online.

Always focusing on mobilising the collections and expertise of the organisation for the generation of new ideas, meanings and debate. So really being able to convert that research that's so important at the SA Museum onto those multiple platforms in new experiences, new discussions, new ideas, new debates about the past, the present and the future.

I really want to see the SA Museum becoming more recognized as an international centre of excellence in digital access and engagement. I think there's a huge opportunity for the SA Museum - it has very rich and extensive collections. Six million or so collections of assets across the natural world, physical sciences and human cultures. And really investing in that online engagement is an opportunity for the institution over the next few years.

Also investing in authentic partnership with First Nations communities, establishing more of a co-development model will be integral to the museum's practice of partnership and engagement.

And the final focus for me is about our community engagement and empowering communities to sustain and regenerate the natural environment.

So the climate crisis, global challenges and engaging the community in action and resilience in the context of deteriorating climate, and using all of the assets of the museum to really inform and empower those communities to more sustainable futures.

YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE MOVING TO ADELAIDE, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST?

We're really looking forward to it. The best cities in the world have very rich cultural ecosystems and Adelaide, everything from great festivals, to this large cluster of arts and cultural institutions at its centre.

And also, so close to one of the world's most important wine producing centres in the world. That's very exciting for me. I do love my Australian shiraz, so I'm looking forward to exploring that territory a lot more.

I like visiting historic cemeteries as a way of getting to know a city and getting to know the people who created it. And on a recent visit to Adelaide, I picked up Carol Lefevre’s book Quiet City Walking in the West Terrace Cemetery. Which is a really enthralling introduction to the people who made Adelaide, from the merchants and the civic dignitaries to the laborers, the suicides, and the criminal underworld that made up civic life in the city's formative years.

These boots were made for talking...

Telling the stories behind some of SA's most beloved artefacts

We all have treasured possessions; the things we'd grab first in an emergency, or would be shattered to lose. To have and to hold is a powerful impulse, but have you ever wondered why we fixate so strongly on objects? This is just one of the questions that South Australia's History Festival may be able to answer throughout the month of May.

Perhaps we're merely materialistic creatures, or is it that we attach our stories to objects? Our belongings are the tangible proof that we were here, that we lived, loved, and walked this earth. Franziska Lucas knows this only too well; she maps her own family history through objects like this pair of children's winter boots, originally affixed to skis but removed when the Walla family – Franziska, Marilie, Rainer and

Werner – migrated from Austria in 1955. “They came out with us – my mother was particularly protective of them as they were very expensive at the time,” says Franziska. These boots are just one of the storied objects assembled in the State History Collection, featured as a part of South Australia's History Festival.

This year’s theme is Wonder; an invitation to ask questions and be curious about the objects, spaces, places and stories that endure across years and continents. With over 500 events running across the month-long program in May, there is something to capture the most eclectic of interests. Let South Australia’s History Festival 2023 inspire you to Wonder!

SPORTSMED SPOTLIGHT ON: Foot & Ankle Arthritis

WHAT IS FOOT AND ANKLE ARTHRITIS?

Arthritis is a condition involving degeneration of the smooth cartilage that absorbs impact and allows joints to move. It manifests as a combination of pain, stiffness and swelling. While the hip is a single joint connecting only two bones, the foot and ankle are much more complex with 28 bones and around 27 joints!

WHY DOES ARTHRITIS OCCUR IN THE FOOT AND ANKLE?

Many people with arthritis are classed as having osteoarthritis, which is general wear and tear of the cartilage surfaces that occurs over time. There are genetic factors that increase the likelihood of this occurring but usually there is no specific reason that it has occurred in a particular joint. The shape and alignment of feet contribute to this wear and tear as well, and people with particular foot shapes (such as flat feet, or high arched feet) may be more likely to develop problems. Inflammatory conditions can also cause arthritis in some people.

WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ARTHRITIS IN THE FOOT AND ANKLE?

The goal of treatment for arthritis is to relieve pain, improve function, and restore mobility. Aiming to get people back on the golf course, cycling, playing bowls, hiking and enjoying time with family.

Many people who have arthritis will not require surgery. The sportsmed Foot and Ankle Clinic has a collaborative team of foot and ankle clinicians. Our podiatry team can assess subtle imbalances in force distribution in the foot during the gait cycle (walking cycle). In many cases selecting the right type of footwear or using an insert (orthotic) in shoes will be sufficient to relieve mild forms of arthritis.

When simpler measures are not effective, or no longer effective, surgery may be beneficial. If contemplating surgery, it is essential to understand exactly which joints are generating pain, and in some cases further scans are arranged to gain information about this. In mild cases, surgery that preserves the joint can be performed, such as removing prominent or painful bone spurs, and painful inflamed tissue surrounding a joint. In more severe cases, the joint is removed, either by fusing the adjacent bones together, or placing other material in between the two bones to relieve the pain.

Given the many different sizes and shapes of joints throughout the foot and ankle, these procedures vary greatly depending on the location of the arthritis.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY AFTER FOOT AND ANKLE SURGERY?

The sportsmed Foot and Ankle Clinic provide a multidisciplinary collaborative rehabilitation program to get you back on track. Recovery

Meet Dr Thomas Fisher

Dr Fisher is Adelaide trained in Orthopaedics and completed a sub-specialty fellowship in Sydney, Australia, focused on total ankle replacement, minimally invasive foot surgery and lower limb deformity reconstruction. He is experienced in preventative care, treatment and rehabilitation for a range of foot and ankle ailments, conditions, injuries and fractures.

after surgery on the feet varies depending on the location. Some procedures are suitable to gently weight bear as comfort allows immediately. Other procedures require the use of a supportive boot and avoidance of weight bearing for up to 12 weeks. Major foot surgery can take a longer time to see the maximal benefits from, in some cases with gradual recovery up to 12 months.

Please keep in mind that treatment methods and outcomes vary between patients. Each individual patient has specialised requirements.

sportsmed is an industry leading healthcare provider with a private orthopaedic hospital and specialist clinics across a number of locations, offering patients access to modern and innovative healthcare in state-of-the-art facilities.

Self collection A cervical screening game changer for women after menopause

Did you stop having regular cervical screening when you went through menopause? Maybe it’s because you found the test painful in the past, or you found the process uncomfortable or embarrassing. Maybe you thought you didn’t need to test anymore because you stopped being sexually active or only had one partner throughout your life. Maybe you didn’t intentionally stop, you just got busy enjoying life.

A big change to cervical screening commenced in July 2022. A self collection option is now available to everyone who is due for their cervical screening test. Self collection involves inserting a long-handled cotton bud a few centimetres into your vagina. You do not need to insert a speculum or “find” your cervix. You can do it yourself, in private. It’s painless, easy to do and just as accurate as having the GP collect the sample. If you prefer to have a speculum examination, that option is still available too.

In fact, over 70% of cervical cancers can be prevented by regular cervical screening. Regardless of your situation, it’s important for anyone with a cervix aged 25 to 74 to have regular screening tests to protect yourself from cervical cancer.

If you are not sure when you had your last cervical screening test, visit the National Cancer Screening Register website and search via the Participant Portal, or call 1800 627 701 (ncsr.gov.au)

Find a GP in your area who offers self collection:

Cervical screening is now recommended every five years (it used to be two), and the name changed from “pap test” to “cervical screening test”.

Most people doing the test will receive the “all clear” and get on with enjoying life. But if there’s a problem, it’s better to find it early when treatment options are less invasive. Very few cancers can be detected early, but cervical changes can be monitored well before they develop into cervical cancer.

Finding Warmth and Care

MY BREAST CANCER JOURNEY WITH CALVARY

I got home and instead of the usual race through the shower, getting dressed, breakfast and racing out the door, I had time. I opened the mail. You know those beautiful 50th ‘gifts’ you get – scrape your poo, check your boobs. I was opening the BCA envelope as I massaged a ‘pulled muscle’, which, come to think of it, was actually, sort of, in my breast. Hmmm.

A week later and the ‘pulled muscle’ hadn’t subsided, so I made a call to get it checked. I figured it was just a cyst and they would drain it. It was a bit like a golf ball.

Mammogram. Ultrasound. “I’m just going to get the senior technician to come in,” followed by, “I’m just going to get the rostered Doctor to come in.”

OCTOBER 7 –

“You have Breast Cancer”

I met Dr Rice, Jasmin and Jo the very next week. The warmth and care were the first things I noticed. The knowledge, thoroughness and concern followed as we sat down in the appointment.

to attend the cricket (I’m a cricket tragic, so 4 days post-surgery I made my way there. With drains! The poor security guard).

I was also able to still be a clown in The Christmas Pageant. 12 days post-surgery I ‘ran’ the streets of Adelaide. What an absolute buzz!

From there I met with Dr Joshi. Again, how fabulous is it having everything under the one roof?!

Jasmin came in to see me during the first Chemo session to check on how I was settling into the process (and to see the clown photos). She has continued to be both a friendly face and ear throughout the whole process.

I wrote and scribbled this line out over half a dozen times, but try as I did, it just felt like there was no better way to express my thoughts.

SEPTEMBER 22 – National Day of Mourning. I went to the gym and because the rest of the day was free, I tried a little bit harder than usual. Arms. Aaargh!

More tests, biopsies, scans. All in one place. Appointments seemingly just appeared, as Jasmin slipped out and organised them. Those early days I just wanted to be told where to go and what to do.

RESULTS - Dr Rice explained the surgery (single mastectomy with axillary clearance) and why other alternatives were ruled out. SURGERY - Both Dr Rice and Jasmin were amazing supports; firstly making sure that I got

Paclitaxel is finished and now I embark on AC. The cold capping has kept a reasonable amount of my hair. The Cancer Centre nurses have been wonderful. For all the fast-paced logistics they juggle, as a patient you are made to feel like everything revolves around you. The chats during the process, which focus on everyday things, about the weekend, a concert… all the normal stuff. It’s just so lovely.

When the Chemo is finished, I’m off to Radiotherapy. I’m sure I’ll meet more beautiful, caring, genuine people there too.

TIPS FOR PERFORMING SELF-EXAMS AND IDENTIFYING SYMPTOMS

Everyone’s breasts look and feel different. You may have lumpy breasts, one breast larger than the other, breasts that are different shapes, or one or both nipples that are pulled in (inverted), which can be there from birth or happen when the breasts are developing.

Become familiar with the normal look and feel of your breasts. There’s no right or wrong way to check your breasts for any changes. Try to get used to looking at and feeling your breasts regularly. You can do this in the bath or shower, when you use body lotion or when you get dressed. Just decide what you are comfortable with and what suits you best.

Remember to check all parts of your breast, your armpits and up to your collarbone.

When you check your breasts, try to be aware of any changes that are different for you.

KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR

“I felt a lump,” is a common phrase for those who have had a breast cancer diagnosis, but there are many other symptoms or warning signs to watch for:

a new lump in your breast or underarm (armpit)

• thickening or swelling of part of your breast

• irritation or dimpling of your breast skin

• redness or flaky skin in your nipple area or your breast pulling in of your nipple or pain in your nipple area

• nipple discharge other than breast milk

• any change in the size or the shape of your breast

• pain in any area of your breast

DON’T DELAY

Most breast changes are not likely to be breast cancer. However, if you find a change in your breast that’s unusual for you, see your doctor without delay.

If I had to have Breast Cancer, I’m glad I had it here.

Making decisions with dementia

Dementia affects people and families in unique ways. With more than 400,000 people living with dementia in Australia, no journey is the same; but there are shared experiences and stories, as well as services and resources, to support carers and people living with dementia.

Helping Hand has been supporting older people and their families for seventy years. Our mission is to create communities and experiences to enable older people to live their best lives. We help people to live independently in their own home for longer, or to start a new chapter in one of our residential care homes in metropolitan Adelaide and regionally in Clare, Port Pirie, Jamestown and Whyalla.

WHAT DOES BEING A CARER LOOK LIKE?

‘There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.’ – Roslyn Carter

Anyone can be a carer and what that will look like will be different for everyone. For some its checking-in with a parent and driving them to appointments; for others it’s living full-time with someone who needs care or support.

12% of people in Australia are carers and while it’s true that being a carer is important and rewarding - it’s also true that not every day will feel that way.

Looking after your health and wellbeing at every stage is part of the journey of caring. Here are some handy tips for making decisions with dementia.

 MAKE DECISIONS BEFORE DEMENTIA IS ADVANCED

You don’t need to wait for a diagnosis of dementia before talking about dementia with the people closest to you. The earlier the conversation, the greater the clarity about everyone’s wishes, and the more time to review and reflect on them.

These conversations can be emotional. However, when they happen in advance, they can also help build the foundation for a series of decisions that will become a guide for family members later down the track.

 WRITE IT DOWN

Writing things down removes any confusion over what a person’s decisions or wishes are. Document the options that have been considered, the decisions that have been made and why they were made at the time. And most importantly family members should know where these wishes are kept.

 EVERY DAY DECISIONS

It may be hard for family members to know how to act around a family member living with dementia and it’s very important for the person living with dementia to maintain their dignity and control over their life. Never assume a person living with dementia is unable to make their own decisions.

 SMALL STEPS

We understand that conversations about living with dementia – and even getting older in general – can be challenging and confronting. Helping Hand has developed a series of short films, where you can follow one family’s experiences, from different points of view, as they find themselves making decisions about aged care. Complementing these videos are guides and resources for you and your family.

You can watch these films at helpinghand.org.au/wehearyou

BE WELL WITH BE WELL TRACKER

Making it easier for people to create positive wellbeing habits

Be Well Co is SAHMRI’s first spin out company, set up to translate wellbeing research into evidence-based solutions for the community.

Be Well Co’s story began seven years ago, in what was then called the Wellbeing and Resilience Centre. In those formative years, the centre ran wellbeing projects across different groups in society, ranging from vulnerable youth to bushfire survivors and older adults in the community.

Along the way they learnt the problem of poor mental health was much bigger than we thought. Society has focused too much on deficits and illness, forgetting the importance of fostering what makes life worth living and improving wellbeing.

After participants do a quick 10-15 minute survey, they get access to an immediate free report on how things are tracking. Importantly, it also gives suggestions on what people can consider doing to improve the way we feel.

To work out how best to improve wellbeing, the team conducted a large research study analysing global literature on the topic. They looked at the impact of different types of psychological interventions on mental wellbeing.

The power of ice baths for mind and body

Millions of people globally are enjoying the physical and mental benefits of regular cold exposure therapy thanks to the popularity of pioneers like Dutchman Wim Hof. We spoke to Kym Burls, a certified Breathwork Coach and Wim Hof Method Instructor in Adelaide.

“Cold exposure therapy is any form of shortduration exposure to the cold – below 15°C, air or water temperature,” says Kym. And one of the best ways to experience cold exposure therapy is through ice baths.

This set the team on a path to develop a measurement tool that could reliably give individuals insight into their wellbeing. The result is the Be Well Tracker, which to date has been used to measure the mental health of 30,000 Australians.

THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF ICE BATHS INCLUDE:

Mental energy boost

• Improved mental health

• More mental resilience

• Improved stress management

• Better sleep

• Increased metabolism

• Lower inflammation

• Strengthened immune system

Decreased pain

The Wim Hof Method is a particularly interesting approach to cold exposure training.

“It is a natural, science-based approach to help you lead a happier, stronger and healthier life. It consists of '3 pillars' - a unique breathing technique, regular cold exposure and various mindset techniques,” says Kim.

The results from this review have been used to create the Be Well Plan and the app with over 30 psychological tools to give people agency over their mental health and wellbeing. Making it easier for people to create positive wellbeing habits, so they can become better versions of themselves, as individuals, organisations, and the wider community.

You might think ice baths are reserved for footy players after games but anyone able to can challenge themselves and reap the benefits of ice baths.

“Anyone can stand under a stream of cold shower water or submerge into a bath filled with ice, however, it's the underpinning philosophy of the Wim Hof Method - of connection to self and to your body's natural processes - that I believe sets it apart in what is becoming an increasingly crowded space,” says Kim.

The Wim Hof Method stands alone when it comes to practices with such a broad impact on the entire body. “The combination of breathwork and cold exposure powerfully influences every system in the body including your nervous, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine immune, digestive and reproductive systems,” states Kim. While cold exposure has been part of many cultures for hundreds of years – think Northern Europe, arguably it has been Wim Hof who has single-handedly made it as popular and widespread as it is today.

kymburls.com | @kym_burls

Important health disclaimer:

Cold exposure is not suitable for everyone. Those with any concerns or medical issues should consult a healthcare professional before starting.

Society has focused too much on deficits and illness, forgetting the importance of fostering what makes life worth living and improving wellbeing.

“Ice baths, and other cold exposure therapy, are a form of stress training - it’s the body’s response to the stress of the cold that delivers the benefits,” says Kim.

EYES ON ONE GOAL

For more than a decade, Mitch has helped make life easier for See Differently clients, who have a range of low vision conditions. These include people who are legally blind to others struggling to read small print.

With many thousands of South Australians suffering from a range of eye conditions — and more than two billion globally living with vision impairment — it’s important work.

As a See Differently optometrist, Mitch’s work is a little different to that of a regular optometrist. In most cases, the people Mitch sees will have already had their low vision diagnosed. That allows him to spend longer with clients than standard clinics would.

Mitch Walker has his eye on one goal: improving the quality of life for people with low vision.

As an optometrist at See Differently with the Royal Society for the Blind, Mitch says giving a glimmer of hope to those diagnosed with low vision is one of the most rewarding parts of his job.

This extra time allows See Differently optometrists, including Mitch, to devise a strategy to help optimise a client’s remaining vision.

The use of optical and adaptive technology can go a long way to improving the lives of those with low vision. Easier-to-use optical tools such as magnifying and telescopic devices are hitting the market, which are clearer, lighter, and more ergonomic.

“There are products that are really good quality and still affordable and I think we’re reaching for those types of products earlier on, whereas in the past they were probably reserved for people with more advanced conditions,” says Mitch.

Companies across the globe are developing artificial intelligence and virtual realitybased tools to help low vision people see differently. Some produce screen readers, electronic personal assistants and apps that can help people with low vision navigate an unfamiliar environment.

Discover how Mitch and the team of optometrists at See Differently can help you maximize your vision.

The Impact of Glucose Spikes on Our Health

Do you suffer from cravings, chronic fatigue or sugar addiction? Do you sometimes wake up in the morning feeling less than 100%? The majority of the population is stuck on a glucose rollercoaster, and most of us don't know it.

Do you suffer from cravings, chronic fatigue or sugar addiction? Do you sometimes wake up in the morning feeling less than 100%? The majority of the population is stuck on a glucose rollercoaster, and most of us don't know it.

Glucose is so central to our body’s functioning that an excess of it has repercussions for virtually every aspect of our physical and mental health.

Jessie Inchauspe is a biochemist, author and founder of the Glucose Goddess movement. With her first book Glucose Revolution, a #1 international bestseller, she started teaching everyone about the importance of blood sugar and easy hacks to manage it. She’s now taken it one step further by introducing a four-week, step-by-step plan to integrate simple, scienceproven strategies for steadying your blood sugar into your everyday life.

Jessie has shared with us some of the symptoms and conditions linked to glucose spikes that you might recognise in your own life.

Mood

Did you know that your glucose levels could influence your personality and your interactions with other people? In recent studies, scientists have been discovering fascinating connections: when our glucose levels are irregular, we are more likely to be irritated by our partner, and to punish those around us when they make a mistake. This is because glucose rollercoasters can influence certain molecules in our brain affecting our mood: big spikes lead to lower tyrosine levels. Tyrosine is a neurotransmitter that is said to improve mood. And if you’ve ever experienced the feeling of being hangry (angry when hungry), there again, it is more common in people who have big glucose spikes and drops.

Poor sleep

Sleep and glucose are very tightly linked: the more spikes we have, the worse our sleep is, and, if we are on a glucose rollercoaster, we’ll experience less restorative deep sleep. Going to bed with high glucose levels or right after a big glucose spike has also been shown to be associated with insomnia in postmenopausal women, and sleep apnoea in a segment of the male population. Finally, a common symptom of dysregulated glucose is waking up suddenly in the middle of the night with a pounding heart. That can be the result of a glucose crash while we’re asleep. And this is not all: after a bad night’s sleep, we are more likely to have big glucose spikes after breakfast the next day. It’s a vicious cycle. To put an end to it, start by flattening your curves.

Mental health

Your brain doesn’t have sensory nerves, so when something is wrong, it can’t alert you with pain as other organs do. Instead, you feel mental disturbances – such as anxiety and poor mood. When people eat a diet that leads to erratic glucose levels, they report more depressive symptoms compared to those on a diet that leads to steadier glucose levels. And the symptoms get worse as the spikes get more extreme, so any effort to flatten the curve, even moderately, could help you feel better.

This is an abridged extract from The Glucose Goddess Method: The 4-Week Guide to Cutting Cravings, Getting Your Energy Back, and Feeling Amazing, by Jessie Inchauspé. RRP $36.99

In the book, Jessie tackles some practical ways to flatten our glucose curves and improve our overall well-being.

Wrinkles and ageing

Depending on your diet, you may have spiked your glucose thousands more times than your neighbour has by the time you reach 80. This will influence not only how old you look externally, but how old you are internally. Glycation and inflammation are responsible for the slow degradation of our cells: what we call ageing. These processes damage collagen, causing sagging skin and wrinkles and potentially leading to inflammation in joints, rheumatoid arthritis, and the degradation of cartilage and osteoarthritis. The more often we spike, the faster we age.

Other conditions include:

• Digestion problems

• Brain fog Skin conditions

• Hormonal issues

• Diabetes

Cheeky Chickpea Stew Recipe

Stop right there! This recipe is a winner. While most stews are time-consuming to cook, this community favourite can be whipped up in about 10 minutes with very little prep. You could add a handful of spinach just before the end of cooking time, or serve it with a fried or poached egg on top and a slice of sourdough. You can keep it in the fridge for up to four days.

SERVES: 2 portions

PREP TIME: 4 minutes

COOK TIME: 10 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 14 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• ½ onion, roughly chopped

• 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

• 3 tomatoes, roughly chopped

1 x 400g tin ofchickpeas, drained

• ½ teaspoon hot sweet paprika (or any kind)

• a dollop of full-fat Greek yoghurt, to serve (optional)

• olive oil

• salt and pepper

Is the Glucose Goddess Method for you?

These are just some of the questions you can ask yourself to find out if you are experiencing glucose spikes, and if the Glucose Goddess Method can help you.

• Do you crave sweet foods?

• Are you ‘addicted to sugar’? Do you get tired throughout the day?

• Do you find it difficult to find the energy to do what you’d like to do?

• Do you need caffeine to keep you going through the day?

• Do you experience brain fog?

• Do you get a ‘food coma’ after eating?

• Do you need to eat every few hours?

• Do you feel agitated or angry when you are hungry, aka hangry?

• Do you have extreme hunger pangs during the day?

• Do you feel shaky, lightheaded or dizzy if meals are delayed?

• Do you have acne?

• Do you have eczema?

• Do you have psoriasis?

METHOD

1. Heat a splash of olive oil in a medium saucepan on a medium heat and add the chopped onion. Fry for 11/2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, then add the chopped garlic and fry for 30 seconds more.

2. Add the chopped tomatoes, and the chickpeas, paprika and 150ml of water to the pan. Increase the heat to high, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the mixture for 7 minutes, until the tomatoes are beginning to break down.

3. Season generously with salt and pepper, then transfer half of the stew to a bowl. Serve it just as it is or with a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top.

4. Leave the remaining stew to cool, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 4 days – this is your second portion for another time.

• Do you suffer from inflammation?

• Do you have endometriosis?

AND PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY...

• Do you think you could feel better than you currently do?

What’s glucose again?

Glucose is our body’s preferred source of energy. Every cell in our body uses glucose to perform its function: our lung cells to breathe, our brain cells to think, our heart cells to pump blood, our eye cells to see, and so on. Glucose is important. And the main way we provide our bodies with glucose is by eating it.

Mastering the art of packing for a home move Lessons from a Professional Organiser

Selling and packing up a home is well known to be up there as one of the most stressful times in a person's life and having just sold our home of 25 years I can attest to that, to a degree.

If being a Professional Organiser for the last 15 years, and helping countless clients move, has taught me anything, it’s to be organised and to have a plan! I’ve observed and learned a few things along the way that made me determined to say goodbye to my home in a joyful, calm, considered way. Yes I knew there would be stressful times, big, big emotional times, but I wanted to sprinkle it with joyful times too as a love letter, an ode, to our beautiful place of refuge that our home has been for our family. Doing it gently and respectfully was my way of saying THANK YOU to the grand old Queen Anne Villa of 1905. We were the proud custodians for a short time in its history and I wanted our farewell to be one of gratitude.

My biggest advice for anyone selling and moving home, no matter what the circumstances, is to have a master plan. Draw up a schedule for every week, including every day until ‘D day’, moving day. Include every little thing, it will help keep things manageable and under control when there are inevitable ‘it’s all too much!’ moments!

Sprinkle joyful moments into the mundane days of packing, have neighbours over for afternoon tea, get out the best China and then wrap them up and box them away so that they are filled with happy memories.

Have last house drinks with family and friends, then wrap and box the wine glasses up, saving a few for the essentials late night packing of course! Have the favourite meals that have been cooked in the house in the favourite casserole pots then pack them up, creating joyful moments in the final overwhelming weeks and days.

Keep little pockets of your home ‘normal’ until right til the very end so the house doesn’t fully lose its ‘home’ feel, a corner, a shelf, art on the wall, little favourite pockets can help keep the emotions under control, when tired and stressed.

Call in the experts if it all gets too much, there are crazy people, like me, out there that thrive on these situations, use them, lean on them for the support you need.

1. Use baskets/tubs to carry the last minute kitchen items from car to house to keep everything safe

2. Break up the packing, stop for a breather and have the neighbours over for afternoon tea.

3. Clean out the drawers and store in labelled tubs as soon as you can

4. Leave the essentials until last

Lastly, my one big piece of advice for whoever and wherever you are in life, edit your home’s belongings regularly and have in your home only what you use, need and love. This makes the moving process, whenever that may be, so much easier.

Happy packing!

TOP TIPS FOR A SMOOTH MOVE

Inside the iconic Cheesegrater building on North Terrace, hundreds of researchers are working on the most critical health and medical issues we face today.

Read more about their work and how you can help inside.

A research flagship

You probably know SAHMRI – South Australia's independent not-for-profit health and medical research institute — it's the stunning "Cheesegrater" building on North Terrace.

But do you know what the most amazing thing about this architectural masterpiece is? It's the hundreds of world-leading researchers working every day to overcome the most common health conditions that affect us all.

Heart disease, stroke, cancer, dementia, diabetes, mental health, arthritis, chronic pain, and more – SAHMRI's researchers

are dedicated to discoveries that improve health and health care on all of these fronts.

For SAHMRI, collaboration is the key to progress, with researchers learning from and supporting each other. These dynamic collaborations extend beyond SAHMRI, connecting with other leading research organisations across Adelaide, Australia and the globe.

Read more about how the brilliant minds at our own independent, world-class research institute are working hard to help everyone not just live longer but live better, too.

SEARCHING FOR THE SECRETS TO LIFELONG HEALTH

Lifelong Health is SAHMRI's biggest theme and its many researchers aresearching for ways to prevent and treat a long list of chronic conditions, inlcuding heart disease, stroke, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome and chronic pain, as well as improving mental health and wellbeing.

treats now, and a better future for the untold numbers of Australians who face cardiovascular health challenges.

His research group investigates the build-up of cholesterol-rich, fatty plaques in arteries throughout a person's life. These plaques can lead to blockages that cause heart attacks and strokes, two of the leading causes of death and disability in Australia and worldwide. Researchers can develop more effective treatments to prevent their growth and the subsequent devastating health consequences by better understanding the reasons behind plaque formation and progression.

One standout discovery made by Peter's team includes the benefits of

rapidly reducing a patient's LDL (or bad cholesterol levels) after a heart attack using novel drugs now available in Australia. Another significant contribution is the demonstration of the effectiveness of colchicine, an ancient gout medicine, in targeting inflammation and stabilising plaque growth.

The vision for Lifelong Health is to foster an increasingly collaborative research powerhouse, focusing on cohesive research questions across the theme. Although chronic diseases are often examined individually, they frequently co-exist in real-world situations, sharing common causes and risk factors. By capitalising on the expertise within the Lifelong Health Theme, researchers can combat chronic diseases, ultimately improving the quality of life and health outcomes for people as they age.

Improving women's and kids' health

The first thousand days of life –starting from conception – are vital to set people on the path to lifelong health and wellbeing. That's why it's the focus of the SAHMRI Women & Kids Theme.

Dr Merryn Netting is an integral member of the theme. Her primary interest lies in the eating habits of infants and toddlers, and even pregnant mums, and the impact of nutrition on their health and how it influences allergies.

The Theme's Child Nutrition Research Centre (CNRC) is dedicated to enhancing the health outcomes of women and their children in Australia and worldwide through nutritional interventions. The CNRC's efforts target reducing prematurity and associated health consequences,

supporting optimal growth and cognitive development, and minimising allergic disease in early childhood.

The CNRC conducts two major largescale pregnancy trials, the PoppiE trial and the PrEggNut study. PoppiE aims to identify the optimal levels of iodine intake for pregnant women to improve cognitive outcomes in children. PrEggNut investigates whether the amount of eggs and peanuts a mother consumes during pregnancy and breastfeeding influences her baby's food allergy development.

The Australian Feeding Infants and Toddlers (OzFITS) Study recently documented the diets and feeding practices of children under two years. The study compared current diets with the Australian dietary guidelines, finding that 90% of infants aged 6-12 months

consume far less than the recommended 7mg of iron daily.

SAHMRI Women and Kids' vision includes improving women's health, reducing the risk of early birth, preventing stillbirth, and lessening the burden of childhood allergies.

To achieve their vision, the SAHMRI Women and Kids team is embedded within health services and collaborates with various childfocused community organisations.

Walk to cure disease and save lives

On the evening of July 22 this year, 2,500 people will walk together, bringing light and hope to thousands of families facing life-threatening diseases by raising $ 1 million.

With each step illuminated by light installations, they'll show that even in the darkest hours, you are not alone.

The money raised from the BRIGHT Walk will push SAHMRI researchers another step closer to the next discovery with the potential to cure disease and ultimately save lives.

The funds also boost early and midcareer researchers like BRIGHT Ambassador Dr Andrew Shoubridge. He won the 2022 BRIGHT Accelerator Award, with $100,000 to power his research, funded directly from the proceeds of last year's fundraising walk.

Andrew's work centres around finding solutions for age-related chronic diseases, focusing on dementia.

The project hopes to discover more about the mechanisms connecting the gut microbiome and the brain, which could play a significant role in preventing the onset of dementia.

"Studies have shown that a healthy gut microbiome can help prevent inflammation contributing to dementia risk," Andrew said.

Andrew's delighted to be a BRIGHT Walk Ambassador, a role in which he'll promote his research and SAHMRI's broader mission to the community.

"I'm keen to get my shoes on and be a part of inspiring people to make the 2023 BRIGHT Walk the biggest and best yet," Andrew said.

"The development of new therapies targeting gut microbiology is an exciting new frontier in this field of research that I'm thrilled to be involved in."

"I really encourage everyone to get behind it because it brings muchneeded awareness to the fantastic research being done at SAHMRI and ultimately helps us save and improve lives."

IMPROVING THE LIVES OF THOSE WITH CANCER

The devastating impact of cancer on individuals, families and communities is all too well known. SAHMRI's Precision Cancer Medicine Theme is at the cutting edge of technologies and procedures that have a discernible impact on improving the lives of those with cancer.

Dr Maggie Centenera is a dedicated member of the Prostate Cancer Research Group. Her research focuses on enhancing treatments for men with prostate cancer, which involves understanding and targeting the androgen receptor in prostate cancer cells and identifying more accurate markers for monitoring patient responses to current and emerging therapeutics.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Australian men (apart from common skin cancers), with approximately 18,000 new cases diagnosed annually. About one in ten men will develop prostate cancer before age 75.

More broadly, Precision Cancer Medicine investigates why people respond differently to diseases and therapies, aiming to deliver the most effective and targeted treatment options.

Cancer research at SAHMRI has evolved into various specialty programs focused on solid tumours, blood cancers, computational and systems biology and paediatric neuro-oncology.

The Blood Cancer Program is a globally renowned leukaemia research group concentrating on acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

The Solid Tumour Program looks at better ways to diagnose and treat multiple myeloma and cancers of the gut and prostate and support people undergoing cancer treatment.

The Paediatric Neuro-Oncology Program plays a significant role in establishing Australia's first proton therapy unit, currently under construction next to the cheesegrater, which will begin treating patients in 2025. The highly-precise nature of proton therapy means less irradiation of healthy tissue surrounding tumours, leading to fewer short and long-term side effects and reduced chance of secondary cancers.

To develop research that translates to clinical practice, SAHMRI cancer researchers collaborate in relationships with Royal Adelaide and Women's and Children's Hospitals.

Enhancing the quality of life for older Indigenous people

The disparity between health and life expectancy between Indigenous Australians and the rest of the population remains unacceptable.

SAHMRI's Wardliparingga Aboriginal Health Equity Theme – Australia's largest Indigenous health research unit – is dedicated to closing that gap.

Associate Professor Odette Pearson is a Co-Leader of this theme. She is spearheading a project focused on preventing ill health and enhancing the quality of life for older Indigenous people.

Historically, the needs of older Indigenous Australians have received little attention, partly due to their significantly shorter life expectancy. However, the lifespan gap between Aboriginal and non-Indigenous

individuals is narrowing, emphasising the importance of developing accessible, culturally appropriate services to meet the growing demand.

The Aboriginal-informed System Connector Model for Ageing Well, developed by Odette's team, aims to connect individuals with esstential resources and strengthen relationships between aged care, healthcare, and social services. The project will increase access to consistent, high-quality support for older Aboriginal people as they age.

The research priorities are informed by community needs and aspirations, targeting the leading causes of disease and mortality experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The theme's approaches involve understanding the biological, psychosocial and health system factors that affect health and wellbeing and identifying the best ways to address and improve these conditions.

FROM OCEAN TO PLATE

Goolwa Pipi Co.’s sustainable shuffle

WORDS: Mandy Hall

Goolwa Pipi Co. was founded in 2014 by a group of multigenerational fishing families committed to a deep sense of responsibility and respect for the ocean. With a long history of working within local fishing communities and understanding marine ecosystems, they began experimenting with different techniques to ensure the most sustainable way of harvesting the Goolwa Pipi – a small, edible bivalve found along the wild and untamed coast of the Coorong.

Utilising ‘The Pipi Shuffle’ – the sometimes dangerous hand-and-net harvesting method developed by the Ngarrangjeri people thousands of years ago - the pipis are brought to the surface in a process which does not harm the environment nor impact the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.

The Ngarrindjeri people have a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land and waters of the Coorong. This country – with its vast system of ocean, lagoons, swamps, and wetlands stretching along Australia’s southern coast – is their country. For the Ngarrindjeri people, the Coorong has been a spiritual home and source of cultural identity for thousands of years, their existence deeply intertwined with the land and waters.

Their official partnership with Goolwa Pipi Co.

Having gained global recognition and international certification for their sustainable practices, Goolwa Pipi Co. has expanded their business and today markets across Australia are clamouring for their sustainably sourced product, which has a deliciously sweet and nutty flavour.

in 2019 was cause for true celebration, and after 19,000 years of being on country, the Kuti Co crew joined the Goolwa Pipi Co. family which comprises of Hoad’s Fisheries, a thirdgeneration family owned fishing company and Goolwa Pipi Co. Harvesting Company, all experienced and courageous crews that battle the elements together. I can tell you firsthand that there’s nothing more awe inspiring than the sight of legs bulging with rock hard muscle from shuffling in that wild ocean day in and day out, the dedicated crews are simply phenomenal.

This mighty union enabled the sharing of stories and knowledge with each other, the exchange of ideas and learning from each other’s experiences have led to exceptional partnerships.

Harvesting Pipi involves no technology. Instead, crews are bound by tides and tradition, setting off in the darkness for the wild waters of the Coorong armed with rakes and buckets. Enduring dangerously rough seas and neck-high waves, they make their way by foot out into the ocean, and spend hours plunging their rakes into the water to bring the Pipis to the surface. Constant twisting in the sand and hoisting the Pipis clear of the water is exhausting work, but also incredibly rewarding.

As they brave the elements, they witness the breathtaking diversity and beauty of life in the Coorong – schools of fish darting through the water, flocks of birds swooping overhead and the occasional dolphin or seal breaking the water’s surface to say hello.

Regularly featured on menus across the country, many hatted Chefs laud our pipis for

their ability to transform a dish. However, they are equally delicious doused in olive oil and chilli and thrown on a barbecue. Pipis pair beautifully with so many ingredients and are easy to use – no wonder our love affair with these little South Australian icons shows no sign of slowing.

For Goolwa Pipi Co., it has never been about simply producing a product. It’s about preserving a way of life and a precious natural resource, working hand in hand with the environment, its custodians and community to create something truly special – a business that is not only sustainable but also deeply rooted in the land, waters and rich history of the Coorong.

If you ever find yourself at Goolwa, make sure to head into the very popular and incredibly well positioned Kuti Shack and enjoy a bowl of the freshest pipis, caught quite literally in the ocean that’s gazing right back at you. Or… go to your nearest stockist, grab yourself some Goolwa Pipi Co. pipis and try this flavour bomb of a recipe by well-known SA Chef, Terry Intarakhamhaeng, there’s also the option of heading into Soi 38 where this Executive Chef and co-owner just might make them for you!

Pride of place

Provenance and passion come to the fore at 'Place'

I’m sitting at my keyboard with Diana Ross's Ain't No Mountain High Enough playing in my head, and have one thing on my mind –Chef Kane Pollard's soon to be launched new venture, 'Place'. Dining events that showcase provenance, seasonality, and sustainability, Place is clearly a passion project for this highly respected Chef, he and Adele Pollard have been working on for some time. And this man of firsts has done it yet again. Because Place is indeed a restaurant of No Fixed Address. Rather, it can be set up in any location, offering a unique, unrestricted and unforgettable dining experience that can be tailored to any setting.

Chef Pollard boasts an impressive pedigree, having headed up some of the state’s most iconic restaurants, and also managing his own bricks-and-mortar Adelaide favourite, Topiary. A supporter of using local and seasonal ingredients, Place sees Kane taking this passion to a new level, showcasing the essence of each location and delivering its heart and soul in an unforgettable meal.

A defining feature of 'Place' is its mobility. The experience can be transported anywhere, from a remote beach or forest to a bustling city centre. This flexibility allows Kane and his team to create bespoke events & menus that are customised to the surroundings. For example, in a vineyard setting, Kane and his team might create a menu incorporating the flavours of specific grape varieties and the terroir. On the coast, the focus would shift to sourcing locally

caught seafood and native coastal herbs. And given their long-held knowledge of the natural world around us, the Place team also delivers foraging and dining events that give the ultimate in deep food connection.

Another aspect that sets these special 'Place' events apart is the commitment to sustainability. Kane has long been an active champion of producers. He not only works closely with local farmers and growers to source the highest quality ingredients, but also prioritises the use of produce that has minimal impact on the environment. That commitment and understanding of the effort it takes to grow and create delicious food sees Kane strive to minimise waste, using every part of the ingredients he sources.

The result of Kane's dedication is an immersive and rewarding dining experience that is also ethically responsible. Guests can devour everything before them knowing they are contributing to a more sustainable food system.

But it's not only the food that makes 'Place' special. The equally talented Adele, will help lead the team, working hard to create a full sensory exploration for their guests, carefully curating each new setup with attention paid to every detail, from the table settings to the music. The result will be quite exhilarating and truly unique.

There's no doubt that 'Place' events will garner attention from foodies and industry insiders alike. Its approach will resonate with people looking for something more than a traditional

restaurant experience. With the ability to locate anywhere, 'Place' events offer unparalleled flexibility and customisation.

For Kane, Topiary remains and will continue its unique and well-loved presence in South Australia. 'Place' is not simply a new business venture but an inventive new addition to the Pollard stable, another way for this devoted chef to share his deep passion for food and provenance with an audience keen to enjoy it.

If you're looking for a food affair that is truly unforgettable, keep a look out for 'Place'. With its commitment to provenance, seasonality, and sustainability, along with its ability to deliver an unforgettable food experience anywhere, it's sure to provide a moment in time you'll want to revisit again and again.

For those of you that entertain or are event organisers, keep your eyes peeled for an impression extension of this new venture, 'Your Place'. A unique catering offering that will ensure no one misses out of that Pollard magic!

I’ll leave you with the gift of a recipe from a morning strolling in the forest with this very genuine South Australian chef, may it warm, inspire and give you just a hint of all that’s possible when you’re in the right place.

Dolly

SNACKS AND SHARE PLATES $10 - $30

Dolly is the new suburban bar and eatery on Unley Road, sister to Bar Lune. It’s wine, it’s cocktails and it’s damn good food ranging from delicious crab soldiers to the ‘dolly bird’ buttermilk-fried quail with hot sauce and daikon pickle, to a pimped-up grilled cheese sandwich – all perfectly executed by Head Chef Scott Schwarz. Good for a quick drink and snacks or settle in for the long haul.

Osteria Oggi

PASTA/MAINS $30 - $48, TASTING MENU $78 OR $95

For me, Oggi is all about the pasta. Spaghetti, campanelle, tagliatelle, casarecce… My favourite? The pappardelle with chicken hearts, livers, vincotto and radicchio. Mind you, there are good non-pasta options, and the anchovy soldiers are some of the best going around. Open seven days, this place is always lively and the service friendly. Whether you relax into a booth, sit up at the bar or outdoors, a good time is assured.

The Lane Vineyard

TASTING MENUS $95, $115, CHEF’S TABLE $295

One of my all time favourites, a long lunch at The Lane is always something to get excited about, from the moment you turn into the driveway and take in the breathtaking view. Chef Tom Robinson and the team have created the Harvest and Provenance menus to showcase produce grown on the estate or from local farmers and suppliers. The lamb is born and raised on the property and the lamb sausage is a tasty highlight..

Shiqi Restaurant

Not to be confused with Shiki Japanese at the Intercontinental, Shiqi Restaurant in Parkside serves consistently good Chinese food. The menu includes all of the old favourites –including a great mapo tofu, plus dishes for the more adventurous, and you can opt for live seafood from the tanks. The fact that it’s popular with the local Chinese population is testament to the quality of the food.

EASY DRINKING

WORDS: Nick Stock

Nick Stock is one of Australia’s most well-known and highlyregarded wine critics. He co-owns McLaren Vale’s hottest new beachfront bar and restaurant the Silver Sands Beach Club.

As much as I love summer and the beach and grilling outdoors, the swing to cooler weather and the quest for warmth and comfort means that red wine season is upon us and this is a moment every year that I enjoy so much. Not that I stop drinking reds through summer, they still have their place, but the richer and more full-bodied wines really do get rested. Their time is now!

Much more than a simple colour change, the wines I seek out in cooler months are actually wines with richer textural qualities. Texture in wine is a kind of x-factor characteristic, the thing that many people don’t often talk about but always enjoy, it is the key to making these bolder wine styles so delicious and something that winemakers really focus on.

With lighter styles, in particularly fresh summer whites, sheer refreshment and vibrant fruit characters take centre stage and are rightly celebrated. And whilst we celebrate fruit aromas and flavours with richer wines it is their textural complexity and shape that really set them apart. We talk of things like smoothness, velvety texture, plush fruit and luxurious mouthfeel, descriptions you don’t hear whilst delving into the esky on the beach.

FULLER-BODIED RED WINES ARE THE BREAD AND BUTTER OF MANY SOUTH AUSTRALIAN WINE REGIONS AND SO WINES FROM THE BAROSSA, MCLAREN VALE AND CLARE NATURALLY COME INTO THEIR OWN IN THESE MONTHS.

It’s a whole different approach and one that naturally feeds into the way we eat as the seasons shift. We cook differently, we layer dishes and cook things for longer and more slowly, adding textural richness, harmony and depth. And these are the hallmarks of bolder wintry wines, they comfort us and marry seamlessly with the way we feast through the cooler months. Fuller-bodied red wines are the bread and butter of many South Australian wine regions and so wines from the Barossa, McLaren Vale and Clare naturally come into their own in these months. Look also to the cooler regions like Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra, as these produce wines with intensity but a more elegant shape, exemplified by the Murdoch Hill Landau Syrah I’ve included here.

And the good news is that some of our best producers are adept at making white wines that exude textural appeal that are also perfect for the cooler months. Yalumba has long promoted viognier as a white that can deliver so much interest and complexity and their top-tier bottling The Virgilius is in career best form in vintage 2020.

McLaren Vale’s Yangarra elevates the white grapes of France’s Southern Rhône to heights seen in only a handful of wines the world over in a wine called Ovitelli Blanc and their 2021 is a must-try white to add to your list. It is fermented in ceramic egg-shaped vessels and these add layers of textural interest that are so luxuriously delicious.

I also tend to reach for some of my best bottles when red wine season opens, so this issue I’ve selected some of South Australia’s most respected names and most sought after wines. Some you will know, some maybe not, but rest assured these are all exceptional bottles.

See you at the beach!

Nick

I just had to include this wine as it is an absolute gem. Gentle Folk is a small family operation in the Adelaide Hills and it has seemingly mastered the art of making great pinot noir in this 2022 vintage. Cherry-flavoured velvet is the best way to describe this wine, so smooth and alluring, this is one of the best young examples of pinot noir South Australia has ever produced. A must-try wine!

This is a big, bold expression of Barossa shiraz that has so much on offer now, it is also a sure bet in the cellar for a decade or more. Think liquid Black Forest cake and you’re somewhere near the mark here, all packed with chocolate, red and dark berry fruits and a little edge of biscuit-like spice and chew. Fleshy yet assertive.

MURDOCH

Cooler climate shiraz like this moves into a very spicy mode with the ability to really captivate on smell alone. Here there’s black olive tapenade and dark woody spices like cardamon and clove as well as plenty of pepper. The palate has a glossy sheen to it, so packed with intense plum, dark berries and dark cherry fruits as well.

HENSCHKE SHIRAZ MOUNT EDELSTONE 2018

This single vineyard in the Eden Valley is one of Henschke’s most prized pieces of dirt and the just-released 2018 edition is just superb. There’s a signature core of blackberry fruit here, tinged with sweetly fragrant spices and roasting herbs. So smoothly honed and richly textured, this is luxurious red wine at its very best.

YALUMBA

This is Yalumba’s top viognier wine and, in fact, their flagship white across their whole range. This 2020 vintage release is their best to date with stunning purity or apricot fruit, sweet florals, some spicy elements too. The palate is so smoothly rendered, it flows effortlessly and fills the mouth with ripe yet fresh stone fruit flavours.

YANGARRA

Have a glass of… @stockwine

This is a blended white that showcases plantings of seldom seen white grapes for Australian soils, but grapes that are staples of France’s Southern Rhône. Smooth yellow orchard fruits, gentle hints of spring flowers and a texture that is really quite unique. Fermentation in ceramic egg adds such textural interest here.

A journey through the seasons

Exploring the unique botanicals of Seven Seasons' gin

Seven Seasons spirits are no ordinary beverages. Nuance and romance is brought to their botanical gins by adding native Australian ingredients such as green ants and bush apple.

exactly the same with the fruit. There are things that tell us we can harvest something or go out and hunt, like little flowers that pop up which mean it’s turtle season. They’re signs that we as Larrakia people have been brought up to learn,” says Daniel.

again after harvesting. Daniel uses the green ants to flavour Seven Season’s Green Ant Gin, and it’s a taste that needs to be experienced to be believed; a zesty, makrut-lime-like flavour. As part of his Indigenous food company, Something Wild, which supplies Seven Seasons with its produce, Daniel uses native bush apple in his Bush Apple Gin. The inherent sourness of the fruit works beautifully. Harvested around December in Larrakia Country during monsoon season. The bush apple gin is described as, “crisp and refreshing with berry qualities and spicy orange blossom, balanced with the juniper you expect in a gin.”

Founder of the business, and former AFL player, Daniel Motlop explains, “Larrakia is one country within Australia, my grandmother’s country, so what I’ve done with the company is set it up around the seven seasons that we Larrakia live by.”

“Whether it be magpie goose, kangaroo or barramundi, we hunt in seasons. And it’s

Seven Seasons spirits are the real deal, both owned by and made with produce harvested by Indigenous Australian communities using sustainable practices perfected over millennia. This is authentic, fair and ridiculously tasty liquor.

Seven Seasons are committed to sustainability. For example, they harvest their green ants in a way that the larvae and Queen stay safe within the nest and are able to thrive

CHEESE AND BUBBLES WINS

which makes you want more bubbles… A slippery slope I know but nonetheless a rather enjoyable one.

Seven Seasons seven-seasons.com.au | @sevenseasonsspirits

I’m sure if you ask anyone, anywhere in the world, to recommend the perfect match for cheese, they will tell you – wine.

I like to think I have a moderate palate for cheese, and courtesy of a wine making family, I have tried a few wines in my time and I can say with absolute confidence that a glass of white or red is not cheese’s only best friend. From my own experience, the strong flavours of red wine wipe out the delicate flavours of many cheeses. On the other hand, many white wines can boast high acidity, which interferes with the natural acids that occur particularly in goat cheese.

"Bubbles take the cake."

That’s right, in all my years of trying and testing; I enjoyed cheese most when accompanied with a crisp flute of Champagne. I find the high fat content in cheese can often leave your mouth with an almost ‘sticky’ feeling. This is where the carbonation of the sparkling comes into play, creating a dialogue with that cheesy residue that wipes your palate clean. It leaves you wanting more cheese,

In general, a good sparkling wine is slightly more aromatic and yeasty with only a crisp, momentary bite of acidity in the mouth. While they can vary toward a more full-bodied and lush taste, there is a level of crispness and intensity always present, courtesy of the hundreds and thousands of tiny bubbles, which is why I believe it complements cheese the best.

Lighter, brighter sparkling wines and Champagne pair well with creamy cheeses that have high butterfat content. Test it out with a double or triple cream Brie and you will be able to feel the bubbles cut through the mouth-coating richness. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, try our Patrice (a super smooth rich and buttery cheese) paired with a yeasty sparkling, some fresh strawberries and I assure you it will blow your mind.

If you are more partial to a full bodied sparkling then try traditional Champagne that has undergone a secondary ferment in the bottle. That time spent delivers complexity and toasty, bready notes that work well with slightly more pungent cheeses, try washed rinds with

this you’ll find the Champagne echoes the splendid nutty notes found in these cheeses. And let’s not forget Prosecco! The Italian speciality that has undergone a secondary fermentation. Prosecco tends to be dryer than other sparkling wines working brilliantly with Chevre (goat cheese) of all forms as it lifts the sweetness in the cheese. Whether the cheese is rinded or fresh, the acid development in the cheese is truly complimented by the yeasty nature of the wine.

A great bubble does not need to cost you the earth. Look beyond Champagne and you will discover a host of well made options including many produced in Australia.

So, here’s cheers!

EXPLORING INDIA with Dana Kinter

INTERVIEW BY: Olivia Williams

Adelaide artist Dana Kinter has recently returned from a life-changing adventure to India, where she delved into the country's fascinating cultural tapestry and basked in the beauty of its diverse landscapes. Her trip has left an indelible impression on her artistic vision, igniting a new spark of creativity that is sure to capture the hearts of art enthusiasts everywhere. In this interview, Dana shares insights and experiences from her travels, revealing how the journey has influenced her artistic vision and expanded her creative horizons. Join us as we delve into the mind of this talented artist and explore the transformative power of travel on creativity.

 Welcome back from your incredible trip to India. Can you tell us about what inspired you to go there?

Travelling to India has always been a dream. I still have a bunny-eared, well read and loved childhood picture book ‘Aladdin and his wonderful lamp’ which has the most charming Indian illustrations by Jiri Behounek. I hadn’t thought about these drawings for such a long time but they instantly reconnected with me when I arrived in India.

As a child I would trace the outlines and recolour, like making my own colouring book. I wanted to experience the colour of India, the people, the surroundings, the weather, explore the architecture, forts and palaces along with the diverse cultures and yes, eat the food.

I had a successful solo exhibition last year at Art Images Gallery in Norwood and planned to do something big, something that would nourish my arts practice as well as fill my soul. India kept popping up on my radar, you know the funny coincidences. I met an inspiring woman who visits India twice a year for her business, she told me if she can do it, I should. So, I booked a tour of Rajasthan, India the following week.

A journey of colours and inspiration for the artistic soul

 Can you describe some of the places and experiences during your trip that had a significant impact on you?

Travelling as a solo female I chose to go with an Intrepid group tour to start, with the hope that I would be accustomed to what everyone was telling me would be an assault on my senses, and then planned to explore Jaipur solo. There I had booked in to do some local artisan workshops related to my arts practice and crossed my fingers I would love it. Of course, I did. I landed on the Rajasthan tour because it included Agra and the Taj Mahal, Jaipur and the Thar Desert.

Jaipur bought me my first balloon ride ever and sharing this with my new found friend Nisha from the tour was spectacular, floating across the rural landscape of Jaipur at sunrise allowing the wind to take us was breath-taking. Watching locals and farmers go about their morning business, wild peacocks and deer roaming within the colour of the landscape and morning sky was surreal.

garden beds, the pink walls with purple and green flowers, the mosaic life sized peacocks filled with millions of little mirror tiles all breathtakingly wonderful.

I was mesmerised in the Red Palace in Agra the detail and variety of flower/plant and geometric patterns in stone, a marvel of design and craftsmanship. I would have loved to sit for a time and do some sketching. During the Intrepid tour we were blessed to be welcomed into the homes of two families for meals, the hospitality and kindness was heart-warming. The food was delicious and of course Indian style, it just kept coming, thalis filled with dahl and veg curry, raita and chutneys, pickles, roti or chapati and dessert a favourite gulab jamun. As a vegetarian the food options were vast, before I left, I had made a decision to eat only local food for the trip, oh gosh I was pleased. I managed to have home cooked meals on tours and during the workshops, eat at many of the street vendors and do two food tours. I now have an appreciation of all the different flavour and textures of dahl dishes and a love for kulfi, the traditional Indian ice-cream (my favourite was fig and cashew), and there was a big calling for gulab jamun small soft juicy sweet balls of joy amongst our tour group, we would rate them at each different stop.

It was a happy accident that I managed to stay in Jaipur during the Hindu religious festival Holi. Holi celebrates the victory of good over evil, feelings of love and pure joy with a coloured powder fight. I travelled by rickshaw to the entrance of Govinda temple and followed the crowd and cows. The noise of horns and festivities was intense and energetic. I was head to toe splashed with coloured powder. It was amazing, I smiled for days, the bright colours of the festival have already started to seep into my artwork. A splash of joy!

I found the city palace in Udaipur exquisite. I absentmindedly lost my tour group for 20 minutes because I was so engrossed in savouring the decorated walls, floors, nooks and ceilings, every surface presented hand painted ceramic tiles, mosaics and murals. The palace is also abundant with the famous blue and white ceramic tiles Rajasthan is known for so I was especially excited, I had booked into a blue pottery workshop later on in my trip and this palace was a terrific foundation. It was fairy-tale like to peer down from ornate arched windows into sprawling courtyards full of people and mazes of colourful flowering

 How did the sights, sounds, and experiences of India influence your art?

Still processing all of it, everything is so different and new and I am sure it will take some time. I love seeing all the Hindu deities painted on walls and have planned to paint something inspired on the walls of my home, but the images I have dancing around my thoughts are of the beautiful Islamic patterns I have found, the repeated images of flowers and geometric shapes in stone or painted on walls.

 Did you have any specific goals or objectives for your trip, in terms of your art or otherwise?

I am planning to spend this year engrossed in making a body of work from this trip, I already have a gazillion things I want to explore, paintings, ceramic and fabric works are swimming in my head.

I visited two workshop studios with the hope to work together and create textile artworks. The most promising has been the woodblock workshop using natural dyes. I am determined to find something where my arts practice can be a positive part of a community. I want some transparency, to celebrate traditional craft, to know who makes my product and that they are made by valued craftspeople. I want to know the artist's names and I want the finished product to be unique and an artwork in itself. I feel like it’s a two-way win.

Watching children flying kites on the rooftops of Jaipur from my hotel balcony was magical, something I have only read about in books.

 What was your favourite memory or experience from your time in India?

India was full of unique experiences; every day was so different and wonderful in its own right. Actually, I am pretty chuffed with myself for even going, travelling on my own and meeting amazing new friends has opened up my ideas on how I should be experiencing life and living to the fullest. Already planning my next trip, more India, Turkey or Egypt?

 What specifically about India inspired you, and can you see yourself translating that inspiration into your future work?

I felt totally surrounded by art, by handcrafted objects. The buildings are mostly carved stone or covered in coloured plaster wash, the walls are embellished with painted motifs, people wear wonderfully coloured clothing, fabric drapes in the wind and food is being cooked on the streets in front of my eyes. Everything handmade seems to just have more life about them, nothing was the same or perfect. Just from my experience and the places I visited, for sure there are a million of the same Ganesh statues but each has been hand finished so you have to look through them all to find the one with the not so wonky eyes. It’s quite freeing and it gives me more determination in my making. More confidence to make things just how I make them.

 Are there any particular Indian artists or art forms that you found particularly inspiring during your travels?

In the last week I attended a two day woodblock printing workshop at Studio Bagru using natural dyes. The studio is the heart of a small suburban village, scattered throughout are workshops and open air studios housing each of the different processes or techniques at the centre is a large courtyard. Metres of coloured and printed fabric are laid out in this courtyard on the earth to dry, at times it looks like a field of brightly coloured flowers. I spent a lot of time in each of the different studio/ workshop spaces exploring and watching the processes these studios were usually attached to homes and run by the families. The studio and the community are one. This space is welcoming and something I want to explore more in my arts practice.

The buildings are mostly carved stone or covered in coloured plaster wash, the walls are embellished with painted motifs, people wear wonderfully coloured clothing, fabric drapes in the wind and food is being cooked on the streets in front of my eyes.

 How do you approach incorporating different cultural influences into your art while still staying true to your own style and perspective?

I love to look to other artists and styles for inspiration. I think all makers do, it’s part of the art brain, the dissecting of the making process you study to try to work out how things were done, what process came first. I look to lots of different artists and cultures, each giving me some new energy. I am inspired by Japanese woodblocks, particularly the space that is created with composition. I love to look at Australian Indigenous art for their confidence in mark making and brush strokes… it is just so freeing. I think with India it’s the patterning of nature whether it’s representational floral or more abstract and geometric. Colour, always colour. Last week I visited Andy Warhol’s exhibition at the Art Gallery of SA and spent a long time looking at eight screen prints of Mick Jagger. Only four colours used in each, it looked like screens of collage, ripped paper and a combination of charcoal or conte drawings. Just beautiful and so simple but the finished product was perfect.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT: Dana's Philosophy on Life and Art

Something I am trying to do is live in the moment and enjoy my surroundings, nature, people, family to be present. Someone told me this in India and it has really stuck: “if it’s meant to be it will be, so you don’t need to force, just accept and enjoy this time”.

I guess when you look at an artwork you have to stop and pause, live in the moment, to look deep and feel what the painting has to offer, hopefully my work reaches some part of the viewer that they decide to stop for a bit and just look if it’s for the colour, or the technique or for the feeling that would be nice.

DANA’S TOP TIPS FOR TRAVELLING IN INDIA

DO EVERYTHING: if an opportunity to get on a hot air balloon at 5am comes up and everyone is like “eek that could be a bit scary”, do it!

EAT EVERYTHING: try all the different food, obviously from reputable places - maybe don’t get the western food, like pizza, it’s probably the cheese on the pizza that will get you.

LEARN SOME LOCAL LANGUAGE:

hello, thank you, good morning and no is a great one especially for the constant shopkeepers selling goods. Don’t assume that people will speak English, especially the tuk tuk drivers - they don’t. There is a google translate app that’s awesome! I was able to have conversations with women at the workshops, we laughed and chatted about family and home life.

WHEN TIPPING, ALWAYS DOUBLE WHAT YOU THINK IS GOOD: it’s probably going to be a difference of $5-10

BRING ALONG A WATER FILTER BOTTLE: bottled water is a must and it was nice to not use another plastic bottle.

LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FROM YOUR HOSTS and try to leave them happier to have met you!

TASMANIA’S THREE CAPES WALKING ADVENTURE

My recent Three Capes Walk in Tasmania started a year ago over a cup of coffee. A friend had recently returned from doing the walk on Tassie’s South East Coast. Her photos were amazing, her enthusiasm infectious!

In a heartbeat I had purchased my first ever pair of hiking boots and I was heading into the Adelaide Hills to get “walk fit” and to break in my boots. Fast forward to March this year and I’m on my way with thirteen other like-minded girls to do the Three Capes Walk.

We booked with the Tasmanian Walking Company, opting for the Lodge Walk. Located within the beautiful Tasman National Park, the 48 kilometre walk hugs towering dolerite cliffs. The views are exhilarating with rugged perpendicular cliffs plunging into wild seas. Our guides constantly remind us not to go too close to the edge!

There’s plenty of wildlife along the way and at every curve in the well maintained track there is yet another spectacular photo, taking in rainforest to natural heathland.

Spread over four days, some are longer than others, and I admit I struggled but my reward at the end of the day was a hot shower, delicious food and great Tassie wine shared with wonderful company.

Daily, over a morning cup of billy tea on the track our experienced guides share stories about the local Aboriginal culture, the area’s convict past and the stunning natural vegetation.

You really need a moderate level of fitness to do this walk, while carrying your back-pack weighing around 9 kilos. I proudly took out the “true grit” award for my determination to finish the walk.

I may have come home with sore feet but also wonderful memories of a stunning adventure shared with a wonderful eclectic group of women.

THE LIFE AND WORK OF Jane Price

Jane’s artwork is extensive, including sculpture, portraits of prominent wine industry figures, abstracts and landscapes.

We spoke to her about her background in advertising and how she moved into working as an artist full-time. Bursting with ideas and with sights on new adventures, Jane is an accomplished and talented artist.

 How did you initially become interested in art?

I won the Year 12 Art Prize at Seymour College so naturally went into a Bachelor of Visual Communication at UniSA. It was here I learnt to draw and I remember giggling the first time we did life drawing. I loved the creativity of all the lessons that we studied like the history of art so it ignited a fire in my belly for becoming an artist.

 Can you tell me about your career as an art director?

After completing my degree I went to Sydney and worked as an Art Director doing TV commercials for fashion and other clients. I then travelled to London and worked for an Advertising agency there doing wonderful photo shoots with kittens for Whiskas campaigns.

 What have been some of your career highlights?

Winning second prize in the Waterhouse Natural Science Prize at the South Australian Museum was a definite highlight, winning $5000. Being a finalist 7 times in the Waterhouse Art Prize was fantastic and People's Choice winner at Loreto Spring Art was extremely rewarding.

 How did your career evolve from art director to full-time artist?

It got to the point where I was sick and tired of the stress and long working hours of Advertising. So, I thought long and hard about what I really love to do and that led me to becoming a full-time artist. I was fortunate enough to make a living from it straight away and I have never looked back.

 How has your artistic style evolved over the last two decades?

I started out painting graphic images on raw linen in beiges and white which were very popular and then I transitioned to large abstract seascapes on canvas. About 10 years ago I started to focus heavily on sculpturewhich is my passion.

 How has the art industry changed over the years?

I first sold my work at Tangest in Norwood, SA and people were looking for large paintings that went with their neutral homes so I did a lot of white, grey and beige and textural artworks to compliment their homes. Lately, I have noticed people are more drawn to colour so my paintings have evolved.

 Can you walk us through your creative process?

I think about an idea for anywhere from a day to a few months then put it into action. With my bronze busts I stare at a photo of the person and then start to play with clay until it looks like the subject. It is extremely rewarding to complete a bust then take it to Tim Thompson in the Adelaide Hills to be cast.

 How do you stay motivated?

Motivation has never been an issue for me as I am always bursting with new ideas and always seeking to improve my skills through doing art courses.

Frida & Diego: Love & Revolution

opens at AGSA in 2023

An Australian-exclusive exhibition, Frida & Diego: Love & Revolution will open at the Art Gallery of South Australia in June. Iconic works by two of the most influential and loved artists of the twentieth century – Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera – will feature alongside works by their contemporaries in an exhibition that reveals the vitality of modern Mexican art while exploring the enduring allure of Kahlo.

Passion and politics lie at the heart of this major exhibition. Radical in their art and politics, Kahlo and Rivera were at the forefront of the artistic and cultural avantgarde in post-revolution Mexico from the 1920s to the 1950s. Today they are celebrated for their fusion of traditional Mexican folk art and embrace of modernism. Featuring more than 150 works, including paintings, works on paper, photographs, video and period clothing, this significant exhibition positions Kahlo and Rivera within the broader context of Mexican Modernism. It also includes works by Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Miguel Covarrubias, María Izquierdo, Carlos Mérida, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Yasumasa Morimura and others. This exhibition will immerse visitors in the creative and vibrant milieu of Mexico’s

art world in the first half of the twentieth century – from the beginnings of the Mexican cultural revolution to Kahlo and Rivera’s turbulent love affair. Through Rivera’s celebrated murals and depictions of folk art, the exhibition reveals the dramatic social and cultural shifts that occurred following the Mexican revolution and elucidates Rivera’s profound political and artistic influence.

Kahlo was unflinching in her exploration of self-identity. While her physical body may have limited her, Kahlo’s resilience and creativity soared, resulting in bold and commanding statements which retain their social, cultural and feminist potency and continue to resonate with people today.

ON EXHIBIT: ANDREW BAINES

Andrew Baines is an artist whose work is represented by leading commercial galleries and held in numerous collections in Australia and abroad.

A full-time artist since 1999. Andrew captured national and international attention for his surreal installations and inspired paintings, for which politicians, symphony orchestras, cows, Hills hoists, archbishops, and hundreds of suited volunteers have been positioned on shorelines for photoshoots.

shadows and reflections, and where my array of surreal individuals and tribes enter and leave the ocean,” says Andrew.

Andrew’s signature works were often developed to highlight a charitable cause, especially the plight of the homeless. They include The Coalition of the Constipated (2012) and Doorways to Potential (2013).

Now 60, Andrew paints every day and plans to continue until the vagaries of old age stop him.

Andrew says that he regards the shoreline as representing the security of sameness.

“The never-ending tide moving steadily in and out, the maternal slow pounding of ocean hitting sand … it is in this moist sand where I can create a narrative for my art via unusual

Andrew enjoys an international reputation as a surrealist; most importantly, his work offers humour and escapism, attributes highly regarded by collectors today.

Andrew’s next solo exhibition is at BMG Art 16 Jun – 8 Jul.

“Then, I will buy a small place with a big window that looks out onto the ocean and spend my twilight years pondering the existential questions of existence. And maybe then I will find my answers,” says Andrew.

Digging for Longevity

Being on the wrong side of 50, I have found myself being drawn of late to articles about exercise and diet. By “drawn to” I don’t mean “acting upon”. I read them, but I haven’t changed my ways to achieve greater longevity by eating kale or coconut oil or buying a pedometer to do the daily 10,000 steps. While I don’t eat between meals, and only eat occasional junk food, I still eat plenty of dodgy stuff that tastes great (like cheese and smallgoods and butter and the fat on steak and chops). I drink what the health wowsers regard as too much beer and wine. I have no intention of stopping any of these things because I find them entertaining.

Being happy seems to be a good way to keep living. But more importantly, being activefinding something to exercise the mind and body - strikes me as the best way to ensure we don’t slide into obesity and inertia as the years roll by. Inspired by my green thumb grandmother, I’m hoping that frequent and vigorous gardening is going to keep me kicking towards the old age that she enjoyed. The older I get the more I get into it, and my wife often laughs that if we have a boozy night with mates on a Saturday, she knows she won’t see me indoors until 1pm the following day, as my modus operandi as a form of penance is to get up as early as I can in my mildly hungover state and garden until I can garden no more. I figure that frequent and varied movement and the sense of satisfaction gardening brings are a good combination for body and mind.

When you’re gardening you’re doing all those things, except it doesn’t feel like you are doing them.

It isn’t the Pritikin diet or some workout schedule you would see in Men’s Health Magazine, but as far as I am concerned, the Granny Pfitz aggressive gardening program is as good a system as any to achieve longevity. Hopefully my kids find me lying on their lawn in 40 years time, still breathing, albeit with difficulty as my late, great grandma was that day.

When Mum and Dad came home they found her lying exhausted on the front lawn. She had almost collapsed in the heat. Mum was deeply unimpressed and gave her a stern talking to about how a woman aged in her late 80s shouldn’t be pushing herself like that. Grandma was having none of it and said there was no way she was going to sit around like some little old lady doing nothing. Mum was half-laughing on the phone that night when she told me about Grandma’s antics, but declared solemnly that it was a miracle she didn’t kill herself. I said to Mum that if she had, finding Granny Pfitz lying dead next to a stillrunning lawnmower when it’s 100 degrees in the shade would be the ultimate Granny Pfitz way to exit this earth.

David Penberthy and Will Goodings host breakfast on FIVEaa, weekdays 6am – 9am.

Being happy seems to be a good way to keep living.

One summer before my Grandma died at the grand old age of 93, she decided to go for a walk from her home in Morphettville to my parent’s old place in Mitchell Park. It was a 40 degree day and when Grandma finally got there after her 5km stroll my parents weren’t home. Rather than sitting around waiting for them she decided to make herself useful and went into the shed, got the mower and started mowing the yard.

WORDS:

David Penberthy, FIVEaa

I have never stepped foot in a gym or done Pilates. If someone told me to go and stand in the yard bending and stretching and squatting for five hours I’d tell them to get stuffed.

NOVEMBER (M)

Co-writer/director Cédric Jimenez’s cautious, slightly controversial depiction of the five days that followed the terrorist attacks in Paris back in November

2015 is seriously powerful despite a fair few problems, notably including the sneaking suspicion that an awful lot here is fictionalised. But of course it is: like several plot points from Zero Dark Thirty and even United 93, many of the original facts must remain classified.

Silver Screen Sessions

AT MERCURY CINEMA

Every Tuesday and Friday a community of film lovers gather in the West End of Adelaide at the much beloved Mercury Cinema. They are attracted by the long and rich tradition of Silver Screen.

FILM REVIEW

by Dave Bradley, Film/Arts Writer

Silver Screen is a specially curated screening program for older South Australians. Its purpose is to build an accessible and welcoming community for people to gather, socialise and connect over a common love of films.

Investigator Fred (Jean Dujardin, no longer a name in the States) is a key figure here, as we see him fail to capture a terrorist in Athens and then, after the bombs and murders back home, become almost scarily obsessed with apprehending the culprits. Director Jimenez also doesn’t show us the violence: we see the horror in the eyes of the police, hear a frenzy of ringing phones, and endure a little jiggly camerawork.

And we don’t need to as well, because surely staging it would be expensive, sensationalistic and disrespectful.

Fred is onscreen a lot here, but Dujardin is very nearly upstaged by Lyna Khoudri as fearful informant ‘Samia’ (not her real name). Indeed, the real ‘Samia’ sued the production about her onscreen depiction - and won - and yet, nevertheless, Lyna is hauntingly good.

A popular offering at this year’s French Film Festival, this is one of the year’s best movies so far, no matter how much of what we see is actually, ahem, “real”.

November is in cinemas now

the addition of less familiar languages and voices has provided unique opportunities for cultural groups to experience the familiarity of childhood languages while piquing the interest of adventurous audiences.

Regular patron Malgorzata Schmidt puts it perfectly when she says, “The benefits remain hidden behind the facade of the unique and exuberant cultural program, professionally curated for decades with an intellectually premeditated and artistically fulfilling sophistication.”

Silver Screen’s biggest ambassador is The Mercury’s Programmer Ryder Grindle. Known by name by all the Silver Screen patrons, Ryder introduces each film and stays around after the screening for a chat, while patrons linger in the lounge foyer and socialise over morning or afternoon tea.

“We screen the best Australian and international cinema available, usually from the past eighteen months. The program is selected from well-reviewed films from the international trade papers, film festival circuits and award ceremonies, including the Oscars” says Ryder.

Consistently the feedback from patrons is that the quality of the films on show is outstanding. The variety of programming and

Silver Screen goes beyond watching films. Peter and Peter are two mates who met at The Mercury and now enjoy weekly excursions to the cinema together. Forming new friendships seems to be a common theme. Patron Kay Nowak regularly attends with her girlfriends. “For mature movie goers The Mercury enriches our lives with plenty of mental and social stimulation as we age well.”

Everyone is welcome! Silver Screen offers affordable cinema tickets with complimentary morning or afternoon tea through support from Office for Ageing Well and Retire Australia. Screenings are at 10:30am and 2:00pm every Tuesday and Friday. Tickets available at the door and online.

BOOK REVIEW

by Dave Bradley, Film/Arts Writer

THE ANNIVERSARY

Stephanie Bishop

Bishop’s ambitious fourth novel is a study of grief, pain and loss, as well as guilt, trauma, the confines of marriage, the relationship between art and commerce, issues of age and gender within the realms of academia… and so much more on top. And therefore, unsurprisingly, it can feel a tiny bit strained at times.

To celebrate their forthcoming anniversary, longtime marrieds JB Blackwood and Patrick are enjoying a cruise, and she hopes that, when they finally reach Japan, she’ll tell him about the literary prize she’s won for her latest novel. Her former lecturer, Patrick is a filmmaker and general cult figure who’s almost two decades older than her, and he’s becoming grumpy and erratic, even as she blossoms.

When a drunk Patrick falls overboard and drowns somewhere in Russian waters, Bishop examines JB’s extreme psychological state in the terrible aftermath, as her exhausted mind confusedly ponders how they got together, how he inspired and encouraged her, and how much she loved him. Or, at least, she thought she did.

However, while it’s hard not to sympathise with JB here, the plot can at times feel somewhat overwrought, as we build, and build, and build, and build to something that, perhaps, might not actually be there.

Just like life.

MONSTERS: A FAN’S DILEMMA

Dederer’s third book (after Love And Trouble: Memoirs Of A Former Wild Girl and Poser: My Life In Twenty-Three Yoga Poses) is similarly autobiographical, yet darker.

An author, critic, journo and Mum, Claire began the journey that led to this in 2016, on the eve of Trump’s election, before the #MeToo movement really took off, four years before COVID, and so forth, as she pondered how she could love the films of Roman Polanski, despite knowing what he did to a 13-year-old girl in 1977. Could anyone still admire Rosemary’s Baby, Chinatown and his other masterworks?

As she considered the conundrum of great art made by awful people, the list of potential subjects got longer. And this led to Polanski being the focus of Chapter 1, and then there’s: Woody Allen (how can you watch his Manhattan now?); Michael Jackson, whose crimes she barely describes, assuming we know; violent misogynists Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway; appalling anti-Semite Richard Wagner; and more.

Some choices might seem a stretch, yet when she dissects Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita and suggests that it seems to justify the crimes of pedophiles, you can’t help but agree. And others are also intriguing, including Valerie Solanas, fearsome author of the now-celebrated SCUM Manifesto, and the woman who shot Andy Warhol.

Noting the lack of female ‘Monsters’ here, Dederer thinks that probably the worst ‘crime’ a woman can commit in the name of art is abandoning her children, even as she (supposedly) does just that, if only for five weeks at a Texan artists’ retreat. She devotes a chapter to author Doris Lessing (Claire fears yet adores Lessing’s The Golden Notebook) and muso Joni Mitchell (who gave her daughter up for adoption as her career took off, and it haunted her), but notes that these ‘crimes’ aren’t the same as the guys and their rapes, wife-bashings, drunken rampages, and horrific ideals, which are too often excused because they’re ‘Great Artists’.

There’s much-needed humour here too, thankfully, with funny recollections of Claire’s years as a Seattle film critic, and the time she tripped in a New York street and suffered a painful injury (which she jokes was because of the continuing curse of Rosemary’s Baby). But she’s also capable of being scarily serious, like when she wonders if she can talk about ‘Monsters’ quite so harshly when, well, she might be one herself. Or is she?

Among the most inventive and influential bands in the history of popular music, 10cc are one of the very few acts to have achieved commercial, critical and creative success in equal measure. You know the hits “I’m Not In Love”, “The Things We Do For Love” and of course “Dreadlock Holiday” with its instantly recognisable chorus “I don’t like cricket – I love it!”. 10cc leader and original member Graham Gouldman says “The band is sounding fantastic! Hit after hit after hit. It’s relentless. We show no mercy.” With songs that just don’t date and over 30 million albums sold worldwide, this will be one amazing show!
