Who writes it?
Steph Kilpatrick, who lives in the Adelaide Hills. Everything is checked by a local before it goes out, and it only gets a spot if we think it is genuinely worth your time to go and explore.
I run an event. Can you include it?
Yes, and it is free to submit. Send it through on our event submission page and we will check the details before it goes in.
Written by someone who lives here
I'm Steph. Everything in Wednesday's newsletter is somewhere I have been, someone I have sat down with, or something I have checked myself.
Nothing goes in because it landed in our inbox. It goes in because we honestly think it is worth getting in the car for. That is the only test it has to pass, and it is why people trust the list.
