Picture this — a favourite glass of South Australian wine, warmth from the fire, beautiful local produce on the table, and time to simply relax. Right now, South Australia is celebrating incredible food and wine experiences, with Tasting Australia bringing people together across Adelaide and regions of our state. And after recent rains, many parts of South Australia are looking wonderfully green — inviting visitors to explore a little longer. From cosy country escapes and cel

History Friday Hidden behind the doors of one of Henley Beach South’s stunning historic homes is a fascinating story of Adelaide’s early drapery, hat and boot merchants, elegant seaside summers and architectural craftsmanship from another era. Recently featured as part of South Australia's History Festival during the month of May, this beautiful Seaview Road residence was opened through the wonderful work of the Henley & Grange Historical Society. Guests were taken through th

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the mums, grandmothers and special women who create warmth, comfort and connection for those around them every day.

If you’re exploring South Australia during this month’s History Festival, make sure you allow time to wander through the streets of historic Port Adelaide and discover its incredible outdoor art gallery. This beautiful mural, known as “The Love Birds”, was created by artists Charles and Janine Williams as part of the Wonderwalls street art movement that helped transform Port Adelaide into one of Australia’s most colourful street art destinations. Featuring two Australian fair

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

Rain, autumn leaves, and a beautiful sense of community… today we had the pleasure of visiting the Adelaide Hills Garden Affair at Stangate House and Garden in Aldgate - in the stunning Adelaide Hills Even with passing showers throughout the day, it was wonderfully supported—such a true reflection of the strength and warmth of the Adelaide Hills community. The gardens were alive with colour, leaves turning in all shades of autumn, and the event offered something for everyone:

📖 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

Our 600 native seedlings are growing strong 🌱 We’ve been in touch with our landholder this week—always special knowing where they’ll soon call home 💚 This season has been a little different… we’re one box short for one species (a first for us!), likely due to seasonal conditions 🌦️ Thankfully, with support from Trees for Life SA, we’ve been able to source backup plants—such a great system supporting growers and landholders alike. Sometimes it’s the seed… sometimes the seas

ANZAC Day | 25 April 2026

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.

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

We recently attended the Destination Australia Conference and wanted to share something we’re starting to explore a little more It’s called Green is Our Gold, an initiative led by Tourism Australia—bringing tourism businesses together to help care for the environments, cultures, and communities that make Australia so special.

✨ Easter in Adelaide, South Australia… and the River Torrens is simply glowing ✨ There’s something truly special about Adelaide’s River Torrens in South Australia at this time of year — soft light, calm waters, and those beautiful reflections along the river that make you stop and take it all in. Right in the heart of Adelaide’s city centre, you’ll find the iconic Popeye and Paddle Boats on the Torrens River Adelaide 🚤 Did you know “Popeye” has been part of Adelaide’s story

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

What a wonderful evening at the historic Norwood Concert Hall as part of the Adelaide Fringe A full house, a stunning venue, and incredibly talented young South Australian musicians who have taken their music from high school days here in Adelaide to performing around the world on cruise ships — simply captivating. One of the highlights was their beautiful rendition of Tenterfield Saddler by Peter Allen — along with so many well-loved favourites from the 60s and 70s across
