COVER FEATUREAlton House in Port Willunga is an iconic landmark woven into the history of South Australia and the Fleurieu Peninsula. It stands as an enduring symbol of the
town’s heritage as a bustling rural port and its transformation into a beloved seaside sanctuary.
The house was established in the latter half of the nineteenth century by the Stanford family, one of the earliest settler families engaged in the region’s grain and shipping industries. It has served as a family home, a guest house and a community gathering place.
ARTIST FEATUREWhen Cat Leonard places the little notepad in my hands, its pages soft with age and ruled with neat pencil measurements, my first reaction is disbelief that she has dared to paint directly over an historic ledger. Pure awe follows at the transformation in front of me. Once a boilermaker’s record book of numbers and calculations, the notebook is now reborn as a canvas, with industrial order replaced by creativity and beauty. As I flip through the pages, flashes of colour interrupt the monochrome history – a bird mid-flutter, a woman in profile, bold sweeps of abstract form.
HOME FEATUREIf I had to choose one word to describe architect David Burton it would be convivial. On a sunny October afternoon, we spend a companionable hour talking
all things architecture and design. By the end of our chat, it’s easy to see why he’s winning awards – and why his clients adore him. He’s warm, engaging and utterly obsessed with good design. We’re discussing The Dunes House in Middleton, for which David and his team at Williams Burton Leopardi Architects (WBL) recently received the 2025 South Australian Architecture Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New).
SUMMER FEATUREAldinga Secret Garden is a charming event venue tucked away in the historical township of Aldinga in South Australia. The garden exudes a romantic cottage-style atmosphere with mature leafy trees, rustic stone walls, intimate nooks, raised decks and vibrant flower beds. We thought it would make an ideal setting for this summer’s ‘local table’ feature: a sampling of the best in food, drink, ceramics and florals on the Fleurieu. This issue highlights Port Willunga Fine Foods, Paris Creek Farms, Pillar of Salt Event Catering, Fossick Made and Found, Buds & Blooms, Home Grain Bakery, Settlers Spirits, Spring Seed Wine Co. and Kookery.
HOME FEATUREFor Sam and Irma, building their forever home was a deeply personal journey, one that spanned continents, generations and a heartfelt return to where it all began. While living and working overseas, the couple began to contemplate coming back to South Australia. Drawn by the pull of home, they found a house for sale just a few doors down from Sam’s childhood home and a stone’s throw from the beach. For a time, they kept it as a rental property, but its value went far beyond investment. It was a step toward returning to their roots. When the family eventually moved back, they made the bold decision to demolish the existing house and build new.
DESTINATION FEATUREUntil recently, Aldinga in South Australia might have felt a little quiet, but today
it’s buzzing. The Coach Road strip now boasts a charming mix of boutiques, wellbeing studios, cafés and restaurants. It’s also home to the Aldinga Arts Ecovillage, where you’ll find a bulk food store, a slow food café, a roastery and even a gelateria. Nearby streets host everything from luxury beachfront homes to quirky Airbnbs. It all makes for a cheerful, unpretentious vibe. Newly developed bike paths now connect Aldinga with Seaford and Willunga, stretching from esplanade to wine region and linking into the Aldinga Conservation Park and the Hart Road wetland.
