The ocean can sometimes feel a long way away, but the truth is that what each of us does every day matters. Every piece of litter picked up, every reusable item chosen over a disposable one, every tree planted, every bottle recycled and every effort to care for our local environment contributes to the health of our planet and ultimately our oceans. Today is a reminder that positive change doesn't always come from grand gestures. Often it comes from ordinary people making thou

From live theatre and music to galleries, laneway dining and winter events, Adelaide's cultural calendar never really stops. Right now, the Adelaide Cabaret Festival (4–21 June) is bringing world-class entertainment to the heart of the city. This year's program includes performances such as Em Rusciano's Addicted to Love and What's The Buzz?, featuring cast members from Jesus Christ Superstar sharing songs and behind-the-scenes stories. Whether you're planning a weekend escap

After some welcome rain across South Australia, our gardens are buzzing again… and moments like this remind us that nature slows us down in the best possible way. These busy little bees were captured recently enjoying native flowers around our homes — a small but important reminder that every native plant, every tree grown, every garden space created can help support biodiversity. Then, just as quickly, the skies changed and rewarded us with a rainbow. For visitors to South A

This year we’ve lovingly grown over 600 Australian native seedlings for Trees For Life (SA) — now waiting patiently to be collected by landholders ready for planting. Every tiny tree in this slow little video represents future habitat, healthier soil, cleaner air, shade, shelter, and food for beautiful native wildlife. Take a quiet moment to slowly enjoy them all… and make sure you watch to the end to hear the natural bird sounds captured during filming — a fitting reminder o

South Australia is looking beautifully green after recent rains — and sometimes the best journeys aren’t rushed. They’re found exploring places with stories… discovering regional towns, vineyards, heritage, local produce, and taking time to appreciate the landscapes around us. Whether travelling for work, visiting family, enjoying a festival, exploring history or planning a longer regional escape, we love sharing local tips to help guests discover more of our wonderful State.

Recently, we captured this beautiful Southern Rock Skink perched quietly on a sun-warmed rock — soaking up the morning light, watchful, still, and completely at home in its rugged surroundings. What we love about these little locals is not just their striking colour (a true photographer’s delight ), but how cleverly they live: They bask in the sun to warm their bodies Always staying close to a crevice for a quick escape Often living in small family groups, returning to the

📖 1 May — History Month begins in South Australia… There’s something about May in SA… it invites you to slow down and connect. The South Australia History Festival is here — and Gawler has so much to discover (see programme in image. One of the things we love about Gawler is that you don’t just learn its history… you feel it. From the days of James Martin’s Foundry — where the town helped move from horse power to steam — to the people and stories that shaped the future… it’s

Scattered quietly across parts of the Flinders Ranges are graves like these — simple, weathered, and deeply connected to South Australia’s early history. What draws you in isn’t just their age… it’s the way they were built. Simple, layered stone… carefully placed by hand.

Back in January, we shared a quiet, special moment — a delicate swallowtail butterfly gently laying her eggs on our citrus tree. Fast forward to now… and look what nature has been doing Those tiny eggs are thriving, and we’re delighted to see a healthy little caterpillar making itself at home on the citrus tree. It’s a beautiful reminder of how incredible and resilient nature is when we give it space to flourish. From butterflies and birds to bees and native plants, these sma
