SALIFE's much-loved annual "Off the Beaten Track" issue returns to take readers on a journey across the state. From the sandy dunes of Coffin Bay, to the dusty tracks of Melrose in the Flinders Ranges, from the Limestone Coast to the inland salt lakes and the old homesteads near Burra, this issue is filled with inspiring stories of resilience and joy. Our June issue truly is a love letter to our beautiful South Australia.

Award-winning poet and writer Ali Cobby Eckermann sits down for a very special and revealing interview about why she’s found joy later in her life.

Step inside this stunning luxury Coffin Bay getaway, where concrete elements and striking marble have melded seamlessly with the sandy dunes and crystal waters of Eyre Peninsula.

Fashion editor Emma Riemersma also heads “Off the Beaten Track” on a wistfully stunning wintry day for a special fashion shoot where even a well-timed kangaroo bounded into shot.

Chef Kane Pollard and First Nations grower Marlon Motlop head to the sands of Goolwa Beach to forage for native ingredients to include in a special of recipes, that includes coastal rosemary-smoked beef cheek and kuti cooked in saltbush butter.

SALIFE hits the road to meet the dynamic people reinventing our state’s regional cuisine. From the Limestone Coast to Eyre Peninsula, we discover that what makes South Australia’s regional hospitality scene so rich, is the beautiful tapestry of stories from those who bring it to life.
