Adelaide Hills South Australia
A short drive east of the city, the Adelaide Hills are both the city's retreat and its larder. They can be a romantic getaway or an escape from summer's heat; a trip to buy fresh fruit or to dine at an award winning restaurant; to shop for antiques at the traditional German towns of Hahndorf and Lobethal, or taste wine at Echunga.

Visit the wonderful botanic gardens at Mt Lofty, sample the local cheeses and venison, dine in a café or nibble at a bakery, shop in a leafy village, go to a gallery, enjoy the mountain scenery, cool down, relax.
