Adelaide Hills
This is the place that has inspired generations of artists. The place that legendary painter Sir Hans Heysen called home.
One visit to the Adelaide Hills and you'll see why this place fuelled the creative fires of so many artists. The picturesque farmlands and charming villages of the Adelaide Hills look like they were meant to be painted.
Located only 20 minutes from Adelaide's central business district, the Adelaide Hills provide a wonderfully refreshing change from the pace of the city.
Lose yourself among the local craft shops and bakeries of villages like Hahndorf and Lobethal. Or go for a drive into the countryside and buy freshly picked fruit and vegetables from a roadside stall.
One thing you must do is visit The Cedars, formerly the home of Sir Hans Heysen, and now a living tribute to his artwork depicting the area.
