Sometimes the simplest moments are the ones we remember. Pour a cup of tea, sit outside and take in the garden — listen to the birds, watch the activity around you and enjoy having nowhere you need to rush off to. Catch up with family or friends you’re travelling with, reminisce about the day’s adventures or make plans for tomorrow. Or simply do nothing at all. After all, holidays are also about slowing down, switching off and giving yourself time to unwind. At Adelaide Style

As dusk settles over Adelaide, the magnificent leadlight windows of St Peter's Cathedral come alive, glowing with colour and reminding us why this beautiful city captures so many hearts. Just a short stroll from our North Adelaide homes, it's one of those special places that's even more magical when discovered in the evening. Wander the peaceful streets, admire the heritage architecture, enjoy dinner at a nearby café or restaurant, and experience Adelaide at a slower pace. Wh

At first glance, this is a beautiful bridge over still water. But look again... The calm water creates a perfect reflection, transforming four bridge arches into what appears to be eight. It's a simple reminder that sometimes the most beautiful moments reveal themselves when we slow down and take a second look. Life moves quickly, and it's easy to miss the little things that make a place so special. Whether it's a peaceful morning walk, a quiet moment by the water, or discove

Did you know that on 21 June 1962 (64 years ago), what was then known as Para Wirra National Park was officially proclaimed, helping to protect this special piece of South Australia for generations to come? Today, it's a wonderful time to reflect on the vision of those who recognised the importance of conserving this beautiful landscape. Imagine how many native trees, wildflowers, orchids, birds, reptiles, insects and other wildlife have flourished over the past 64 years beca

This week we had the pleasure of attending Pretty Woman: The Musical at the beautiful Her Majesty's Theatre in Adelaide and what a fabulous night out! Colourful, fun, entertaining and full of energy, it brings the much-loved story to life on stage with wonderful performances, great music and plenty of laughs. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it if you're looking for a special night out. And let's not forget the venue itself! Her Majesty's Theatre is absolutely st

If you've been following our journey growing 600 Australian native seedlings with Trees For Life (SA) this year, here's a little update on where they are now. Recently, our 600 Australian native seedlings (or "tree babies" as we've affectionately called them throughout the growing process!) made the journey from the city to the countryside when they were collected by the landholder and carefully transported on the back of a ute to their new home. The landholder has since sha

History Friday - History truly came to life for us recently aboard the magnificent Clipper Ship City of Adelaide during the South Australia's History Festival. The “Women of the Ship” presentation was an unforgettable experience — with passionate volunteers bringing real stories to life through research, diaries, costumes, and beautifully told performances representing women connected to the ship across its incredible 162-year history. Did you know the City of Adelaide was sp

Wow… what a crowd! Despite a little rain on 8 May, it certainly didn’t deter the many people keen to step back in time and join Dr Barry Blundell APM from the South Australian Police Historical Society on a fascinating walking tour through historic Port Adelaide. Murders, mysteries, robberies, stories of policing in the early days… and glimpses into harder times when finding work (or not finding work) could shape lives. One of the highlights was the audio shared along the ro

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

Out on a walk recently, we spotted these two very different butterflies at two different moments—and I couldn’t help but love the contrast. One, vibrant and eye-catching, gently gliding through the air… The other, quietly resting on the earth, soaking up the warmth of the day. Same day. Same walk. Two completely different personalities. It’s a lovely reminder that nature has so much variety—sometimes bold and bright, sometimes calm and understated… and both equally beautiful

Happy Easter - from our homes to yours - across the globe 🌍

We spent the day in Goolwa on the Fleurieu Peninsula and honestly — it was just beautiful. Sunshine, fresh air, pelicans gliding overhead and that relaxed coastal feeling you wish you could bottle up. We stopped in for lunch at Imbiss on the Elbow on the Goolwa Wharf — such a great find. Sitting there watching the boats come and go while enjoying authentic German food (and a stein of beer ) felt pretty special. The food, the view, the atmosphere… all just worked. At the Imb

Last weekend we had the privilege of experiencing the red carpet opening of Cluedo The Play at Her Majesty's Theatre Adelaide — and what a magnificent night it was. A little history… Her Majesty’s Theatre has been at the heart of Adelaide’s cultural scene since 1913, beautifully restored to continue welcoming world-class performances while honouring its rich heritage. Cluedo The Play is a brilliant comedy now showing in South Australia — funny, fast-paced and full of clever

Adelaide welcomed some beautiful, much-needed rain today — the gentle kind that freshens the air and makes everything feel alive again. Our South Australian coastlines are known for their fabulous sunsets… and this night was no different. A soft drizzle, umbrellas along the jetty at Henley Beach, and the sky glowing in golden tones as the evening settled in. If you Visit Henley Beach , Thai Orchid Restaurant is a fabulous place to choose for dining — consistently great food,
