Everyone loves an antihero, whether that's Deadpool, Wolverine or Taylor Swift—at tea time, everybody agrees! So I'm pleased to introduce a community antihero in Spence, a local legend who can't help but give so much to the people around him: Mr Daniel Down of Gawler. Daniel just loves photography. He has a genuine passion for capturing and sharing incredible pictures of local scenery in the north. Once the people of Gawler saw the amazing talent Daniel has, they couldn't wait to ask him to bring his hobby across the entire community. So, without even meaning to, Daniel has since become an icon of one of the oldest towns in South Australia. He continues to share incredible works of art for our community to enjoy, launching the From the Roots Up exhibition just over a week ago. Hosted underground under a century of Gawler history, this exhibition showed off the outstanding creativity of local artists in the north. It's a fantastic experience, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone passing through Gawler on Murray Street. To Daniel: whether you meant it or not, thank you for your amazing contributions to our community. You are our antihero and so much more.

In closing, to the people of Spence: on my Facebook page there is an electorate map. If you're inside that, my photography competition closes at 11.59 pm on 23 September. Please get your photos in.
