More from National A national directory of stalls can be found via The Roadside Stalls website , while more information about the Adelaide Hills community can be found on their Facebook page . "I really enjoy that - making other people happy." "It's really heartwarming. If you can give a bouquet to the customer and their eyes get happy and sparkly, that's really what makes my day." "She didn't have a mum here, but she has a lovely neighbour who is like her Australian mum. She wanted to say thank you with a bouquet," Ms Boese says. One customer, whose family lives overseas, asked her to create a bouquet ahead of Mother's Day. Though Ms Boese rarely gets to meet those who stop by the stall, she has made memorable connections through the blooms. Katja Boese named her protea and leucadendron stall Blumenfeld for her German heritage. (PR IMAGE PHOTO) "If you just get the stems, it's not a big effort for me and it makes people happy." "It's a good alternative to bouquets because they are quite dear, if you consider how much time and effort goes into it," Ms Boese says. Her customers are encouraged to buy single stems to create their own bunches. Among the 19 hectares was an established crop of proteas and leucadendron Ms Boese sells by the stem at her Blumenfeld stall, named for her German heritage. After spending years looking to escape the pressures of city life, engineer Katja Boese and her partner found a property at Lenswood, in the Adelaide Hills, teeming with native wildlife. "Stalls are popping up a lot more in these sort of places because people are trying to support the smaller people, not the big companies." "There's a lot more people trying to become more self-sufficient out here," she says. Ms Frankish likes to think the stall, adorned with bright yellow bunting and sunflower motifs, helps keep the caravanning community connected through items made with homely care. The Evenindee Homestead farm stall, which sits next to a street library, sells plants, soap, wire art, craft, bath salts and dried flowers. Daneve Frankish's stall at Captain Creek was inspired by a two-year trip around Australia. (PR IMAGE PHOTO) "It was nice to be able to stop and support these little communities we were driving through," Ms Frankish, a part-time teacher's aide, says. The family's most memorable moments on the road included buying sourdough from a vintage fridge in Tasmania and swapping their kids' books at street libraries in countless country towns. Two years travelling around Australia with her young family prompted Daneve Frankish to establish her stall in Captain Creek, in Queensland's Gladstone region. "It's bringing people to our community that have also stopped around at the wineries and the brewery and all the other roadside stalls," she says. Social media posts that capture idyllic days in her kitchen and fertile vegetable patch have even helped lure visitors to town. Googies and Greens, which has more than 1000 followers on Instagram, allows Ms Rothe to work at her own pace while raising her children at home. Baked treats like focaccia, brownies, pinwheel biscuits and banana bread are stocked in pastel hand-painted eskies alongside jars of homemade pesto, dried herbs and pickles. "It was supposed to be just a little hobby selling veggies on the side of the road and it quickly expanded." "I needed something else to focus on, so it gave me a project and something to distract myself with," she tells AAP as fresh loaves of bread bake in her oven while her young children nap. Ms Rothe set up the stall in Langhorne Creek, a picturesque wine-growing region 55km from Adelaide, as she recovered from post-natal depression. Mother-of-three Louise Rothe's stall Googies and Greens , which stocks an abundance of homemade food, is so successful she didn't have to return to a previous job in catering. "Fewer income earning opportunities in regional and rural locations see households operate in the informal sector," it wrote. The Tasmanian Women in Agriculture group told a 2023 parliamentary inquiry examining country bank closures that stalls help secure and diversify farming families' earnings. Nearly a century later, roadside stalls still play an important role in many rural households. Roadside stalls dot the Australian landscape, offering an array of flowers, crafts and produce. (PR IMAGE PHOTO) "Everything looks enticing and is good to taste, touch and smell." "Whatever direction you take a run in a motor car on Sundays you will find the road sides lined with stalls and the stallholders are the farmers and their families," Queensland's Western Champion newspaper reported in 1931. These kinds of stalls, which usually operate on an honesty payment system, have a long history of offering fresh, homegrown produce directly to communities. Roadside stalls dot the landscape across Australia, offering fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, eggs, honey, jam, plants, seeds, books, craft and even bags of horse and sheep manure for garden fertiliser. "It's more of a wholesome life." "It's the environment of living rurally, you make your own fun," she says. With beginnings in a sweet gesture of friendship, The Blue Bee Market has become a way for Ms Smitheman to connect with her neighbourhood, teach local kids about nature and earn some money while raising two daughters. "I finally had my own flowers to give her," Ms Smitheman tells AAP. She gifted her friend a bouquet on the first anniversary of her grandmother's passing. Tiarna Smitheman sells flowers by the bunch from her Blue Bee Market stall southeast of Adelaide. (PR IMAGE PHOTO) In her first season, the stall sparked conversations around town, was a popular choice for Mother's Day presents and captured the imaginations of tourists staying at the motel next door. Ms Smitheman sells bunches of her home-grown blooms from the welcoming wall-papered stall, giving the community of 1400 an alternative to supermarket or servo bouquets. The women's connection through flowers is the inspiration for her little roadside stall, The Blue Bee Market in Keith, a farming hub 230km southeast of Adelaide. A sunny spot in her backyard brims with cosmos, sunflowers, dahlias, billy buttons and zinnias in spring and summer, a reminder of her friend's late grandmother.

Lil Wayne at centre of growing fears for health after postponing gig due to illness
Lil Wayne is at the centre of growing fears for his health after he postponed a highly anticipated Toronto concert due to illness. The 42-year-old rapper's scheduled venue, Budweiser Stage, announced he would not be appearing in a statement issued on X. It said: 'Due to unforeseen illness, Wayne's Toronto show tonight will be postponed. 'As his fans know, he loves putting on nothing short of the best performances for those who come out, and he was so excited for this one.' The announcement referred to a gig on Monday, 11 August, but is only now coming to light due to concerns about Wayne's health by fans. Wayne, whose legal name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., had been scheduled to perform at Toronto's Budweiser Stage but will now reschedule. The statement continued: 'Please stay tuned for the new date coming soon. All previously purchased tickets will be honoured for the new date once announced.' No further details have been provided regarding the nature of his illness and neither Wayne or his representatives have publicly commented on his condition despite fans getting increasingly worried about the performer. Wayne is currently on the Tha Carter VI tour, which launched on 1 August in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and is set to continue through multiple cities including Detroit, Los Angeles, and Dallas before concluding on 2 October at West Palm Beach, Florida's iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre. Special guests on select dates include French Montana, Tyga, and NoCap, while Belly Gang Kushington will appear at all performances. In a separate controversy, Wayne's on-off girlfriend Denise Bidot, 39, publicly accused him of physical abuse and criticised him for ending their relationship via text on Mother's Day. In posts on her Instagram Stories, Denise said: 'Breaking up with someone on Mother's Day is diabolical. Prayers up though. God always pulls me through. Walking with faith.' She added: 'Wayne literally kicked me and my daughter out on Mother's Day today. I am just recovering from surgery. I am five weeks out from a whole mommy makeover. I can't even lift boxes. 'But this man has his assistants coming to help kick us out today... and (he) broke up with me on Mother's Day through text. And (my daughter's) birthday's next weekend.' She also wrote she was 'unsure how to even process my emotions' and asked followers for legal advice – noting: 'I know he has two girls being flown in today, and who knows how many plethora of girls he has. I've been nothing but supportive to this man, loved him till the end of the f****** world.' At the time of her claims, representatives for Wayne did not respond to requests for comment.

Bluey or Masterchef? New ABC boss wants global hits from the broadcaster
ABC managing director, Hugh Marks, wants the broadcaster to develop the next Bluey or its own version of MasterChef as part of his plan to fill the public broadcaster's coffers and make it more relevant to more Australians. Presenting his vision for the organisation on Wednesday, Marks said the ABC needed to make global hit shows while maintaining its local radio and news services. 'I mean, I always think of MasterChef. It came from a UK format, but the real derivation was in Australia, and it makes a billion dollars in revenue a year. If we had one of those successes, and we're able to participate in that success, that will be a revolution in funding.' While the ABC missed out on the commercial revenue benefits of Bluey – which are owned by the BBC – creating its own version of a global franchise like MasterChef could become a funding revolution for the ABC, Marks added. 'If we're able to create two more Bluey in the next five years, our children's content and our children's services will have strong foundations for a long period of time.' Loading Marks added the investment needed to make 'premium' content could be clawed back by chopping underperforming programs, a process that has already started since he joined the ABC five months ago. On Wednesday, Marks said he had already freed up $25 to $30 million to reinvest into original podcasts, new screen content and a new documentary unit. 'If there are things that we think the money is not wisely spent on, then we need to be prepared to make those hard decisions. I've said that in every staff meeting I've done, and I think that we will continue down that path.' One of those decisions was cutting Q+A has, bringing an end to one of the ABC's most transformative formats of the past two decades, which had recently strayed into obscurity, both with its weekly audience and cultural and political influence.
