House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Motions Motions Regional Tourism Regional Tourism Debate resumed. Mrs HURN House of Assembly Schubert Mrs HURN (Schubert) (12:57): I thank the member for Flinders for cutting his speech short, because I know he has so many things to be able to talk about on beautiful Eyre Peninsula, which he refers to as The Wild Side. I am so delighted to have the opportunity to speak in support of the motion put forward by the member for Mount Gambier and also to reflect not only on the fantastic things that the Limestone Coast brings to our visitor economy here in South Australia. As the member for Schubert, I represent what are hands-down two of the very best regions in South Australia—I am so fortunate to represent the beautiful Barossa Valley and also the northern part of the Adelaide Hills. Our reputation has been cemented as a beacon and an icon on the international stage. That has not just happened overnight; in fact, it has happened over generations and generations. The reason we are so successful in the Barossa is that we are so community focused. We have a very strong sense of authenticity. We have traditions that we really value, but we are also not afraid of a strong nod to innovation because, of course, that is what a region like the Barossa is founded on. Every weekend when I am in the main streets right across the Barossa Valley or the northern Adelaide Hills, they are absolutely bustling. In the Barossa Valley, whilst there was an obvious decline throughout the COVID period, to see that pick up yet again and almost reach a next level is, I think, truly fantastic. It is a vote of confidence in all the work of our hardworking business owners, our wineries and all the workers right across our region. They are doing a remarkable job. I look forward to the Barossa Valley and the northern Adelaide Hills contributing even more to the state's economy and reaching new heights in the years to come. Mr BELL House of Assembly Mount Gambier Mr BELL (Mount Gambier) (12:59): I want to commend all speakers who have contributed to the motion. Thank you. Motion carried. Sitting suspended from 13:00 to 14:00.
