South Australia’s History Festival 1-31 May 2025, South Australian Government, May 2025

2025 CAMPAIGN: DECISIONS
Whether born of hasty choices or carefully calculated conclusions, South Australia’s history is shaped by decisions.
Decisive actions, deciding goals, dinner table dilemmas—making bold decisions is part of living fully and embracing an ever-changing future.
Consequential matters are rarely decided alone.
Decision-makers take time, they take counsel, and occasionally, take libations. Decisions have long been wrangled and cemented in South Australia’s pubs, in its restaurants, in its public buildings and traditional gathering places.
Decisions are forged in our meeting places, where lessons from the past are exchanged to shape the future.
