A Melbourne native, Kelly has spent the past two years getting well acquainted with her new home in Adelaide—one great glass of wine and even better meal at a time. As Sitchu’s Adelaide Editor, she’s your go-to for the city’s best eats, must-attend events, and hidden gems beyond the CBD. When she’s not rounding up the best of SA, she’s likely at Pilates, exploring a new winery (for research purposes, of course), reading on her Kindle, or out on a long walk with a millennial podcast in her ears.
