Carrick Hill is fortunate in being one of the few period homes in Australia to survive with its original contents almost completely intact and its grounds undiminished. It was a centre of stylish living; and friends hold fond memories of a house constantly filled with laughter, parties, artists, music, good wine,fine food and dancing; and heady with the scent of masses of flowers.While those days are now gone, Carrick Hill remains as an important example of the lifestyle of two wealthy and cultured Australians of the mid-twentieth century.

Join The Friends of Carrick Hill as part of Nature Festival at Palace Nova Prospect for a special screening of Yer Old Faither, directed by Heather Croall AM and winner of the Adelaide Film Festival Audience Award.

Set in the industrial town of Whyalla, this is an intimate portrait of Dr John Croall, a Glaswegian immigrant to Australia, and the father of Carrick Hill director, Heather Croall.

John Croall delivered three generations of babies and planted many thousands of trees in the town. He was also a great letter writer, and this very personal documentary uses these letters as its point of departure. Heather films with her father as a way of coping with his approaching death and reflecting on the close, and often very funny, relationship between a father and a daughter.

📅 Wednesday 7 October, 2026
⏰ 10.00am
