A splash of colour
After the warm days we’ve had recently, our birdbath at Country Style Louisa has been a popular stop This time, a rainbow lorikeet — one of Australia’s most colourful Australian native birds — came in to visit. Earlier there were two enjoying a refreshing bath together, such a joy to watch that we couldn’t help but grab the camera.

Simple Country Joy
It’s been a little warm in South Australia this week — and just as the cool change rolled through, we were lucky enough to capture this beautiful moment.

Watch Video HERE These quiet, special moments are what make staying her

Kapunda's New Silo Mural - Stunning
Recently, we had the chance to stop by Kapunda and see this magnificent work of art coming to life — a true celebration of South Australia’s history and community spirit. Even before it was finished, the detail was breathtaking! The mural, created by talented artist Smug (Sam Bates), beautifully weaves together stories of Kapunda’s farming and mining heritage — honouring the hardworking people who helped shape the region. It’s a stunning tribute that now stands tall as a land
