Earlier there were two enjoying a refreshing bath together, such a joy to watch that we couldn’t help but grab the camera. This little moment was captured afterwards — just one lorikeet on its own, pausing, drinking, and soaking up the calm of the garden. These are the

History Friday – The Stories Hidden in the Details
At Adelaide Style Accommodation, we love discovering little pieces of history that make South Australia such a fascinating place to explore. ️ Recently, we came across an old door with a lock that immediately caught our attention. Taking a closer look, we noticed a small, faded round imprint on the latch — and with a bit of curiosity (and research!), uncovered something quite remarkable! Imprinted on the lock were the words “WR Coat of Arms” and “JAS Carpenter Patentee No. 60
