Choose your own Willunga adventure
When my partner Paul and I chose to build a new home in Willunga recently, we knew we liked the feel of the town but couldn’t necessarily put a finger on why. So when I was given the brief to ‘discover Willunga’ in light of the imminent completion of Council’s mainstreet upgrade project, it seemed timely.
