Dickson House, Rostrevor, Adelaide

The Dickson House (1950) is the residence of architect Robert Dickson and his partner Lilian, located at Wandilla Drive in Rostrevor, South Australia. The house design commenced in 1949, three years into his architectural studies and in 1951 he took a year off to build it.: 14  Situated on a sloping side opposite the Morialta Conservation Park, the site characteristics, topography, orientation, views and approach dictate the planning arrangement, while responding to local materials and a limited budget. In 2009 the house was listed as a state heritage place on the South Australian Heritage Register, a gratifying achievement for Dickson as a simple contemporary, student-designed house built in 1950 is not commonly associated with heritage listing.: 33  Its significance is reported as follows:Dickson House at Rostrevor has unique and significant associations with the life and work of Robert Dickson, and demonstrates a high degree of creative, aesthetic and technical accomplishment as well as being an influential representative of modern organic design and construction. In particular, the way in which the place relates to its site, its outstanding quality and integrity, and the fact that it has been internationally recognised as one of Australia's most architecturally-notable mid-20th-century houses provide it with outstanding significance in the context of South Australia's architectural development.

Teringie, South Australia

Teringie is a suburb of Adelaide in South Australia. It occupies a commanding position in the Adelaide Hills and overlooks the plains on which most of the city is built. Teringie's small number of houses (less than 100 in total) are mostly large, bush-covered blocks. The suburb is steadily growing with new houses popping up continually.A large portion of the land was originally owned by RM Williams, remains of his original brick factory still form part of a residential property on Norton Summit Road, the now subdivided blocks still owned by descendants of RM Williams. Other previous notable residents include: Giuseppe Capogreco arrived in Australia in 1955 from Italy and purchased a parcel of land in Teringie for his wine making ventures. Capogreco's wines were initially produced for distribution within the local community, but as word of mouth spread over the years, the wine's reputation spread far and wide, and supply succumbed to the limits of production. Vinyards are still present and operating in the area today under the Teringie Estate Wines banner which has branched as far as China. Harry Clisby – an engineer who's designs inspired Ferrari and assisted Jack Brabham's Formula One success. Mr Clisby built a large medieval castle style residence which included a miniature railway, almost rolercoaster. Mr Clisby built most of the residence himself which took over 15 years to complete. Teringie was originally a private subdivision. The name was approved in 1978 by the Geographical Names Board in lieu of the original proposal of Teringie Heights following the stated preference of the local council. The name is of Aboriginal origin meaning place of beautiful birds. (Citation required please) The western end of the suburb comprises some higher density housing with still most residences being large and situated on larger than average land parcels. The further eastern part comprises mostly the larger bushland covered blocks some of which run into the large valleys. The suburb is bordered to the north by Morialta Conservation Park and the south by suburbs, Norton Summit, Horsnell Gully, Skye and Auldana. The notable power lines running overhead have created some controversy as some believe that they are detrimental to health. Teringie is serviced by the East Torrens CFS – Ashton brigade. A wealth of wildlife exists close by: koalas, kangaroos, possums, echidnas, and a great variety of birdlife including yellow-tail and red-tail black cockatoos. For injured wildlife please call volunteer organisation 1300 KOALAZ (562 529).
