As you flip through the pages of July’s SALIFE – which is out now – you will find us celebrating the power and joy of ageing, telling the stories of myriad South Australians. From artist Tom Gleghorn, who has just celebrated his 100th birthday, to photographer Grier Neilson, who is on a mission to turn her lens on older women.
We journey to McLaren Vale and to the home of winemaker Mark Maxwell, who is hosting a dinner honouring his tennis club: for 30 years this group has gathered on Tuesdays to have a hit of tennis, a few glasses of wine and hearty camaraderie.
Step inside the home of well-known criminal defence lawyer Craig Caldicott and his wife, Jill. The couple has recently completed a stunning renovation of their stately 1920s beachside gentleman’s bungalow, all with the aim of creating a space that can be shared with family and friends well into the future.
We sit down with the incoming CEO of the Adelaide Festival Centre, Kate Gould. In her first interview since being announced in the role, the renowned arts administrator talks about her vision for the iconic South Australian institution, as well as a life’s journey that has led her back to the state.
Rosa Matto heads into her kitchen and whips up five winter comfort dishes that will have you warmed up over these chilly winter months. Fill your own kitchen with the sights and smells of these delicious recipes.
“Paintings to keep, wines to drink, friends for laughter, someone to share a life with. The rest doesn’t matter.” This is the life motto of South Australian artist, Tom Gleghorn – and it’s a good one. In June, Tom celebrated his 100th birthday and he sat down with SALIFE at one of his favourite places – Mitcham’s Lenzerheide Restaurant – to discuss his long life and ongoing artistic purpose.
