The Union Chapel, Morphett Vale
Built in 1849 as the first Protestant place of worship in Morphett Vale, the Union Chapel served its Congregationalist congregation for barely twenty years before losing its flock to the new Baptist church down the road. Thomas Hardy bought the neglected building for fifty pounds in 1889 and turned it into a w…

Columnist Jennifer Hewett took part in and wrote about conference that she attended courtesy of oil and gas lobby
"The Australian Financial Review’s Jennifer Hewett filed two columns this week from the Australian Energy Producers conference in Adelaide, discussing the government’s plans for a domestic gas reservation policy and a gas tax.
Labor’s plans for a reservation policy were “creating tensions with the industry” and there was “general confusion and alarm on full display at the conference”, she wrote.
But somehow the paper forgot to disclose that Hewett’s trip to the conference – where she moderated sessions with the CEOs of Santos, Shell and Woodside and interviewed Peter Malinauskas and the US shale revolution entrepreneur Bryan Sheffield – was paid for by the gas and oil lobby."

Emu Wines, Morphett Vale
The winery that stood on Wheatsheaf Road at Morphett Vale had a history that stretched back nearly a century before the buildings came down in 1989. It had begun not as a winery at all but as a London importing house — built by a Scottish vigneron from Magill, that put an emu on its label in 1883.

Elite road cycling race Tour Down Under (19-24 January, Adelaide) will have both men's and women's stages on the same day on the same course with the same start and finish lines. The races will start 1½ hours apart.
Both races will share the same broadcast, both races already have the same prize money.
This will be absolutely brilliant on the Willunga Hill stage: double the day's racing.
The Santos Tour Down Under (TDU) is set to make history as the first WorldTour race to hold men’s and women’s stages on the same course on the same day and over the same distance next year. In the most significant development to the race program in the event’s 26-year history, the TDU will run both men’s and women’s stages concurrently when the 2027 edition is held from January 19-24 (subject to final UCI calendar approval).
Glenheath Farm
Glenheath Farm at Lonsdale passed through three families in its first half-century: the Kings from Cornwall who broke the ground and built the homestead, the McClouds who gave the farm its name, and the Listons from Parkside — former accountant Henry Liston had stood at Ballarat during the Eureka Stockade — who rebuilt the house, planted almonds and vines, a…

Taylor brushed off questions about whether his enthusiasm for gas extraction is at odds with that of the #SouthAustralian #Liberals, who oppose a proposal to end a ban on #fracking in the state's South East.
He told an oil & gas conference in Adelaide that the #COALition would ensure approvals for oil and gas projects would be fast-tracked.
