THERE WILL BE NO EPISODE OF SALIFE ON SUNDAY MAY 13TH DUE TO AFL COVERAGE.

Please join us on Sunday 20th of May for SALife TV for the following stories...

For decades the front pages of our papers reflected a conservative society … but around the time the A bomb went off 22-year-old Rupert Murdoch arrived in town to take over ‘The News’ and ‘The Sunday Mail’, left to him by his late father. That was almost 60 years ago…and the 20th anniversary of the closure of the evening paper that started his empire – ‘The News’ – slipped by in late March. Grant Cameron takes a look back at ‘The News’ – and reflects on his onetime employer!

Leigh McClusky chats with our new Cabaret Festival Artistic Director Kate Ceberano ahead of this year’s event to find out how she’s planning to put her personal spin on our World Famous festival. With a new backstage “heart” and some help from former Adelaide Artist David Bromley, Kate’s ideas for the 12th Festival are set to tempt Cabaret lovers to “explore the extraordinary”.

Chef Rosa Matto cooks up a delicious breakfast or brunch treat - Ricotta Lemon Hotcakes! These light and fluffy hotcakes are best served with Rosas’ special lemon syrup and are guaranteed to be an instant hit with friends and family.

Briony Hume takes a look at a couple of new places to visit in the Southern Vales. Nestled amongst the vineyards is a brand new cellar door. The Angove name has long-been associated with the Riverland, but the brand sources grapes from McLaren Vale as well…the new Angove’s cellar door boasts a modern tasting and socialising area where you can almost reach out and touch the vines.

Over at Ekhidna cellar door it’s the beer that’s proving popular. Visitors to the Vale can now sample up to 9 styles of beer and cider. Tasting is “flight style” with all brews preservative-free and kettle-cooked.
