Bowls club destroyed by Pinery fire ready to rise from ashes and claim first-ever premiership

A matter of wait and see
The intensity and speed of the Pinery fire on November 25, 2015 caught farming communities in South Australia's mid north off-guard.

Tour Down Under cycling race brings festival atmosphere to the Barossa
Residents of Lyndoch, 58km north-east of Adelaide, say hosting the Tour Down Under has brought international exposure to the town, despite a lower-than-expected turnout this week. About 2000 people lined the streets for the first stage of the race on Tuesday — the first time a stage of the internationally-recognised cycling event had ended at the Barossa Valley town. Barossa Council Mayor Bob Sloane said residents had been preparing for months to make sure Lyndoch was ready for the event.
