🌿 This Friday, April 25 is

The annual service to honour the fallen and all who served will be held in Penola from 730am at the War Memorial Park

Wattle Range Council wishes to advise that in Penola the following roads will be closed to traffic from 7 am to 10.00 am - Church Street (from Bowden Street to Riddoch Street) & Young Street (from Queen Street to Church Street

In the meantime it’s time to get baking!

Whether your preference is chewy or crunchy it wouldn’t be without ANZAC biscuits

There’s nothing so Australian as an ANZAC biscuit, and most families have their own recipe handed down through the generations. These golden, oaty treats are an Aussie tradition that have endured the test of time

During the war the biscuits were often baked to raise funds and an appropriate name helped sell them. They became ‘Red Cross biscuits’ or ‘Soldiers’ Biscuits’ and were often sent in care packages to the troops overseas. Without eggs, the biscuits kept well even on the long sea voyages of the day

biscuits are easy to cook and even easier to eat, so why not get into the ANZAC spirit and bake up a batch this ANZAC Day

Better still join the Coonawarra & Penola RSL for their gunfire breakfast for a small donation following the service at the Hall and you might just get to taste one there!

🍇 THE BACK STORY OF ARTHUR'S COONAWARRA VINEYARD

Arthur's Coonawarra Vineyard is named after owner Anne-Marie Williams maternal Grandad - Arthur Hoffmann, a touching way for her to honor and acknowledge him as one of the early pioneers of the Coonawarra Wine industry.

Being active in the industry until 87 years of age, witnessing huge changes from hard manual labor to mechanical ease in viticulture Arthur was very passionate about Coonawarra wines and vineyards, so much so the annual Limestone Coast Wine Show present the Arthur Hoffmann Viticulturalist of the Year award.

Arthur also loved all things Penola Coonawarra proudly being Club Patron of Penola Football Club, a Horse Racing racegoer and horse owner, devotee of St Cedd’s Anglican Church, and loved sharing a glass of red and having a chat. His positive spin on life and going through lots of challenges continues to inspire the family.
