Roseworthy Revisited
Extending back to 1884, Roseworthy College - now the Roseworthy Campus
of The University of Adelaide - has a long and proud history in training
students in agriculture and wine making. An exhibition at the Barr Smith
Library at The University of Adelaide through to 19 June recognises
some of that history - a story that will be of interest to many around
SA with links to Roseworthy. The exhibition will then move to Roseworthy,
and then to the National Wine Centre in Hackney. In Take Time this week,
a special interview on some highlights from the history of Roseworthy,
with Kylie Percival, Archivist at The University of Adelaide.
