08.01.2022 OUR LATEST PROJECT! ADELAIDE TO STAR AT CHINA FESTIVAL State’s biggest off-shore promotion ... China will experience the spirit of Adelaide’s famous festivals this August in what’s considered to be the State’s boldest overseas promotion. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of South Australia’s Sister State relationship with Shandong Province, a specially created Royal Adelaide Club will dominate the 24-day Qingdao International Beer Festival, which attracts more than four million visitors. This is not just a beer festival, it is a vibrant celebration of food, music, performance and fashion in one of China’s fastest growing cities - and Adelaide will be the star of the show, said Lord Mayor Martin Haese. Our aim is to capture the excitement and variety of our festivals and to provide a platform to showcase South Australian produce and performers, and some potential business opportunities. The $2.4 million initiative is a joint venture between Adelaide City Council, the State Government, Australian Trade Alliance and The Social Creative, the Adelaide company behind the Fringe’s highly successful Royal Croquet Club. The Government of Shandong has donated more than $600,000 worth of event space for the Royal Adelaide Club as part of an ongoing agreement that will see Shandong have a similar presence in Adelaide from 2017. That is an extraordinary commitment by Shandong given how hard it normally is to get space at this festival, said The Social Creative’s Managing Director, Tom Skipper. The Royal Adelaide Club will be twice the size of any other venue there and our plans are already attracting lots of attention. It is a huge opportunity to showcase South Australian businesses and brands. The Premier, Jay Weatherill, who will lead a 100-strong South Australian business delegation to Shandong next week, said securing a substantial presence at the Qingdao International Beer Festival was a ‘massive coup’ for South Australia. This is not just about promoting the best of South Australia’s food, wine and beer, but it is a change for more than one million people to learn more about the tourism and studying opportunities we can provide. If we are going to create jobs through attracting trade and investment, we need to look at new and exciting ways to stand out from the crowd. The Royal Adelaide Club will be a unique experience at what is the world’s second largest beer festival behind Oktoberfest. Shandong is committed to further expanding the size and scope of the Qingdao International Beer Festival and Lord Mayor Haese said Adelaide was a perfect partner because we understand the economic value of major events and their potential to build strong cultural and trade links. The Royal Adelaide Club will cover a massive 6000 square metres, including an elevated central area. Alongside a variety of iconic South Australian brands, exciting new ventures and emerging artists there will be a stage, swimming pools, a university precinct and, in a nod to its Fringe predecessor, a croquet lawn.

04.01.2022 Our story on the front page of the Sunday Mail today NATIONAL TRUST STEPS UP TO SAVE MARTINDALE HALL The National Trust of South Australia has made a formal bi...d to take over the running of historic Martindale Hall and create a world class tourism destination. A proposal just lodged with the State Government seeks to transform the Martindale Hall Conservation Park into a integrated heritage based tourist attraction inspired by similar National Trust estates in the UK and, an Australian example, Sovereign Hill in Victoria. The Hall itself, which is famous for its starring role in the classic film Picnic at Hanging Rock, is one of the best examples of Georgian-style architecture in Australia and has an international reputation. The State Government has been trying to decide what to do with Martindale Hall and now we have given it the perfect solution, said National Trust President Prof Norman Etherington. We will establish a world-class tourism destination that will give one of the State’s jewels the prominence it deserves and attract more than 100,000 visitors a year, creating a significant boost to the economy and creating a range of new jobs and training opportunites, he said. We will invest in the site to develop amenities, attractions and events and will preserve the buildings in accordance with the terms of the original bequest to the people of South Australia. Most importantly, it will remain in public hands and be accessible to all. To be delivered in stages over seven years, the proposal will involve partnerships with the private sector, in particular local tourism operators and food and wine producers. Prof Etherington said there had been a huge public outcry over proposals to sell off the property and turn it into a private health retreat. We had previously indicated our willingness to take over responsibility for the property and with this submission we have put forward a very exciting vision for the future, he said. We can’t wait to get started. The proposal includes plans to establish: an exhibition and events space showcasing national and international heritage collections parks and gardens, including a 19th century pleasure garden, olive grove, heritage orchard and community garden a restored coach house hosting displays and demonstrations of horse-drawn vehicles a farm shop and licensed cafe, retail outlet, cellar door, marquee facility for functions and amenities for outdoor events and school camps an extensive special events program, including concerts, music, food and wine festivals, garden shows, car rallies, antique road shows and equestrian farming, sporting and other outdoor recreation activities including horse riding, animal handling, clay pigeon shooting, croquet, polo and cricket. Prof Etherington said the proposal had already created international attention. Just a couple of weeks ago in England, the new head of the International National Trusts Organisation, Dame Fiona Reynolds, highlighted Martindale Hall as an example both of the threat being faced by heritage sites across the globe and of what can be done when communities get together to support what is important to them, he said. Built in 1879/80 by Edmund Bowman Jr. for the then princely sum of 30,000, Martindale Hall has 32 rooms and a large cellar with a further seven. Fifty craftsmen were brought out from England to carry out the work. The estate was purchased in 1891 by the Mortlock Family, who subsequently bequeathed it to the University of Adelaide. In 1986, the University passed it to the State Government, for use by the people of South Australia in perpetuity.

01.01.2022 Busiest 6 months we have had in five years - thanks to the power crisis. Also, a lot more media training. It's either a feast or a famine!
