For the third installation of our Inquiry Exhibition series we welcome Lise Temple to the gallery.

Throughout 2026, the Barossa Regional Gallery invites our community to approach the Barossa Vintage Festival Art Collection through curiosity, one artwork at a time. Each artwork becomes a starting point for inquiry, placed at the centre of a changing micro-exhibition and explored alongside objects and stories from local heritage collections and contemporary
artworks.

Lise's painting, ‘The Idyll Abstracted’ was acquired to the Barossa Vintage Festival Art Collection in 2011, sponsored by Lynas Motors. We are pleased to have this wonderful painting currently on display alongside some of Lise Temple's more recent artworks.

The gallery is open Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 3pm.

Rolling Up Their Sleeves & The Barossa Cook Book tell the amazing story of food's role in our identity and history. Wonderful presentation this morning at the Nurioopta Library for South Australia's History Festival Barossa Valley food historian Sharalee Menz was wonderfully knowledgeable and engaging.
Best of all, our conversations and connections activities were followed by tastings of a number of the recipes!

Elsie Steicke and her husband Henry owned and ran the popular ‘Steicke’s Café’ on Tanunda's main street during the 1930's and 1940's. The cafe offered pies, pasties and freshly made sandwiches all made daily by Henry, but they also served a three course sit-down hot lunch, prepared by Elsie every day in a kitchen that had no hot water and no electricity.

Undaunted by the working conditions, Elsie also ran a catering service for weddings and parties where tiered and elaborately decorated celebration cakes were her specialty. Thick fondant icing with intricate piping work demanded real mastery, but she had to bake the cakes first using an old family recipe for fruit cake then cook them in a wood oven - notorious for their unreliable temperature control. Despite her lack of professional training she was a skilled hospitality chef, without question.

Steicke's cafe, on the corner of Murray and Bushman streets in Tanunda, closed in the 1940's but the building continues its legacy as a popular contemporary restaurant.

Elsie was a contributor to The Barossa Cookery Book, and her story is included in several of the library's History Festival events. Her biography features in the new publication Rolling Up Their Sleeves, which along with The Barossa Cookery Book, are available in our local history and general borrowing collections.
