American River on Kangaroo Island (KI) was named by American sealers in the early 1800s, mistaking the long inland channel for a river. It’s here you’ll find Kangaroo Island Oysters – a family-run business owned by Todd and Marisa Packer and managed by their son, Jack. The quiet, sheltered waters of Eastern Cove make it the ideal spot for an oyster farm.
Shellfish farming must be in the Packer family blood. Todd is no stranger to these shores – more than thirty years ago, he worked for seafood company A Raptis & Sons when they were setting up to farm mussels. ‘I helped set up the very first lines here,’ he recalls. ‘There were no sheds – this was all just a big carpark.’ Todd went on to complete an Advanced Diploma in Aquaculture at the Lincoln Marine Science Centre.
Marisa, meanwhile, came from a background in the medical and tourism industries. Though not directly involved in aquaculture early on, she helped manage the books when they were starting out in Port Lincoln. Read the full story in our spring issue!

Dairy industry leader Fleurieu Milk Company (FMC) began in 2006 as a bold move by three farming families in Myponga, South Australia to take control of their future. Frustrated by falling milk prices, the Clarkes, Hutchinsons and Royans decided to bottle and sell their own milk – prioritising quality, animal welfare and local production.
From a small facility and a handful of staff, the fledgling company grew steadily with local baristas loving it for the best milk froth available and families loving the homegrown taste. The ever-evolving business quickly added to its excellent offerings, starting with flavoured milk. (We here at FLM have long been fans of their exceptional iced coffee.) Over the years, they’ve also added pouring cream, yoghurt and – most recently – sour cream, all without compromising their roots in transparency and community.

‘Everything you can see in this house has been repurposed,’ announces Mark Longhurst – better known as Longy – with a grin that spreads from his eyes down to his paint-splattered, steel-capped sneakers. ‘It’s been a labour of love.’
Beside him, his wife Margot smiles. They stand together on the threshold of their recently completed home in Chiton. Sunlight spills across the honeyed timber walls. As they step back to welcome me into this timber sanctuary, I catch a view all the way out to the trees beyond. The air is thick with the scent of aged timber and the quiet warmth of sunlight.
A builder and timber craftsman by trade, Longy has spent decades collecting, shaping and reimagining wood. Now, with this one-of-a-kind home, he and Margot have created something deeply personal: a hand-built celebration of sustainable living, creative design and the soulful integrity of reclaimed materials.

Coorong Wild Seafood in Meningie is a family business built from the ground up. 🐟

But as the algal bloom continues to impact SA seafood consumption, the business has been forced to lay off staff, including family.

"It's not that we're not catching fish, it's that people aren't buying it,” Tracy Hill from Coorong Wild Seafood told 891 ABC Radio Adelaide’s Jo Laverty.

By the time David C***s set down his briefcase to pick up a paintbrush, he had spent decades as a successful real estate agent – creating a home and a fulfilling life in the inner suburbs of Adelaide with his wife and two boys . But his artist’s story begins far earlier than that, in the schoolrooms of 1960s Australia, where raw talent in the arts was often met with indifference, or worse, outright dismissal.

The Fleurieu region is a haven for food and wine lovers, where exceptional produce is celebrated in every dish and glass. Local chefs thrive on their close relationship with growers and producers, fostering a deep ethos around food provenance and a passion for eating seasonally. The fertile soil, proximity to the clear and pristine waters of Gulf St Vincent, and the Mediterranean climate yield an array of exceptional products. From fresh seafood and the best quality meat and poultry sources to vibrant – picked that day – fruits and vegetables, it’s no coincidence so many esteemed chefs choose to work their culinary magic in the region. This feature puts the spotlight on six Fleurieu chefs doing great things. Read more in our winter issue!

Jamie Knott grew up on the north coast of New South Wales. When he was twelve his parents bought a holiday house at McMasters Beach north of Sydney. For Jamie it was one of the best things his parents ever did. The two-storey brick bungalow had weathered character and a towering Norfolk Pine out the front. So many happy memories were made there.
As an adult, Jamie and his young family relocated to Victor Harbor with plans to buy and sell real estate, hoping to make enough profit to return to the NSW central coast and buy into what was and still is a far more expensive real estate market. Yet, twenty-six years later, he’s still here, with no regrets. His successful business, the great lifestyle and connected community have made Victor Harbor home.
