COCKLE BEACH HOUSE
This architecturally designed beach house is situated right on the beachfront of Cockle Beach offering stunning sea and coastal views across Hardwicke Bay, Point Turton and Corny Point. Set among 74 acres of natural and replanted vegetation, there’s plenty of room for the whole family (and even some friends). Featuring six bedrooms (sleeps 14) and three bathrooms (one with disabled facilities and one with a spa), Cockle Beach House also boasts a modern kitchen and entertainment area, with reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout. Cockle Beach House can also cater for small conferencing groups of up to 36 people.
The house has been designed to be extremely energy efficient and has tanks that can store up to 50,000 gallons of rainwater. More than 6000 trees have been planted on the property over the last five years with plans to plant another 9000, providing at least 45,000kg in carbon credits to offset the annual energy usage.
Spend a couple of days here to explore the Yorke Peninsula.

PACIFIC CULTURES GALLERY
The newly renovated and refurbished Pacific Cultures Gallery at the South Australian Museum is certainly worth a visit. Revealed last December, the $1 million renovations have transformed the gallery by revealing its stunning original 19th century lantern ceiling. The gallery is the only exhibition of its kind in an Australian museum, uniquely showcasing the culture of the Pacific regions. It is also the most significant heritage gallery in the main museum building. The gallery is a classic example of 19th and 20th century museum style décor and displays more than 4000 objects of cultural significance from Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and almost every nation of the Pacific. A highlight of the gallery is the first gift exchanged between New Zealand and Australia, a Maori feeding funnel which in 1793 was presented to Governor King, the third Governor of Australia by a Maori Chief.
