Things That Go
Bump in the Night
Jetstar Magazine,
October
2008
"PrismTeam
Haunted Tours takes
a investigative approach to spectral sightings in its Haunted Tour of
Adelaide.
'We started investigating the Hindmarsh Rectory in 1999, after a call
from
a gentlemen who used to rent the place,' says Laurie Pearce. After
undertaking
research, he discovered that a small girl had died in the front room
when
a candle got too close to a curtain."

A Growing
Passion
Jetstar Magazine,
June
2008
"On Kangaroo
Island off the South
Australian coast, another member of the Lark family is applying his
hand
to liqueurs. 'I probably eat too much, and I like to drink,' says Jon
Lark,
co-owner of Kangaroo Island Spirits. 'I couldn’t afford to build a bar,
but I could afford to set up a distillery, and that’s what I’ve done
here.
It’s a lot of fun.'"
Revealing the
artisan distillers
of Australia, from rum makers to sake brewers.

Adelaide on a
Plate
Medical Observer,
14 March
2008
"There are more
amazing chocolate-coated
wonders in store. As Beverley talks, revealing the intricacies of
chocolate
manufacture in a lively, engaging style, two women just beyond the
glass
are coating reddish-brown spheres in successive layers of chocolate. It
turns out they’re creating sparkling shiraz truffles."
I sample the food
and beverage delights
of the South Australian capital.

Pints and the
Paranormal
Jetstar Magazine,
December
2007
"'There’s no
reason to be scared
of any of the ghosts, just talk to them normally.' So says Francis
Thompson
casually about the resident spirits of the Port Dock Brewery Hotel,
including
the much-sighted ‘lady in white’. But then, he’s known them for a long
time. He beckons me down to the hotel’s cellar to see if we can spot
the
other ghost, a seaman from the hotel’s rough-and-tumble early days, but
he’s not home today."

classic 19th century

Into the
Valley
Kaleidoscope,
December 2007
(LOT Polish
Airlines inflight magazine)
"Not only
has the group now drunk more than enough wine – those small tastings
eventually
add up – but it’s a sunny day, and the combination of food, drink and
the
warm sunshine are inducing a feeling of deep relaxation. Add in the
amazing
view, and you can understand why those early settlers thought this was
the place to settle down."

South Australia's famous Barossa Valley wine region.

Adelaide's
Seven Sins
The Australian,
26 June
2004
"What is it
about Adelaide? All
those churches, that clean-swept look, the history unmarred by the
'convict
stain'. It all looks pretty innocent. Which is why I decide to put the
city of churches to a test. Can the seven deadly sins be recreated in
this
historical monument to wowserism and good behaviour?"
A tale of
temptations in the South
Australian capital.
