Hey everyone👋

For Monday’s edition, I decided to complement the events list with a few recently opened Restaurants and add some more Community News.

My vision for this newsletter has always been to create a positive space for South Australians—a place to escape the usual stories of crime and politics. Here, it’s all about celebrating the good things happening in our community!

In todays Adelaide Insider edition:

• Did You Know 🤔

• 500k Shark Safety 🦈

• More Teachers 🧑‍🏫

Did You Know 🤔

Beneath the Treasury Building lies a secret underground bunker, built as the government’s emergency hideout during World War I and World War II. South Australia became a key defense hub, housing three massive factories: the Hendon Ammunition Factory (producing small arms ammunition), the Finsbury Munitions Factory (creating shell casings and fuses), and the Salisbury Explosives Factory. The Sleeps Hill Railway Tunnels were repurposed into secure ammunition storage and even a vault to protect the state’s treasures. Across the state, air raid shelters were strategically placed, including in Prospect and Islington, ensuring South Australians were prepared for any potential threats.

500K Shark Safety 🦈

South Australia is making waves with a $500,000 boost to shark safety, ensuring a safer summer for beachgoers. In partnership with Surf Life Saving SA, the initiative includes drones buzzing over beaches, trauma kits on standby, and extended helicopter patrols keeping watch. Schools will dive into new education programs, and high-risk areas will see upgraded signage and coastal risk assessments. This response, inspired by community feedback and the Shark Taskforce’s insights, is all about protecting our coastline and its visitors while making South Australia’s beaches safer.

Preschool Teachers News

South Australia is strengthening its education workforce, with nearly 100 preschool teachers set to become permanent next year—more than the past decade combined. This initiative is part of the Malinauskas Government’s efforts to boost job security and attract more talent to teaching. With plans to introduce preschool for three-year-olds by 2026, these changes ensure a stable and thriving workforce, supporting the future of South Australia’s children and addressing challenges like teacher shortages seen in other states.
