With dusk settling across the Australian countryside, we watch kangaroos bounce through the twilight from our off-grid cabin – its sauna to be specific – without another soul in sight. It feels like we could be in the middle of the wilderness, but instead we’re staying on the doorstep of one of the country’s largest cities, with the centre less than a half hour’s drive away.
South Australia is known the world over for it’s most famous export – wine – with bottles from the region filling the shelves of supermarkets and off licences. For visitors to the region, too, wine is often the main attraction, with tours of cellar doors showcasing the best of what the area has to offer. But in the Adelaide Hills – just half an hour’s drive from the city’s CBD – beyond the rolling countryside lined with vines and wineries at every corner, there’s plenty more to explore in a bustling area proud of how closely its community works together.
