We have been to Cedars before but we didn’t Have enough to see the studio we had a freind come over from Sydney so thought this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. This place is amazing to see where Hans Heysen painted his pictures and the trees are mostly all still standing is just amazing and to have a fabulous artist so close to our city is also amazing. I’m so glad it is all been presented so well as he would have left it as well. Would highly recommended doing all the walk then the gallery.

Beerenberg Farm is a "must visit" for all food lovers visiting the Adelaide Hills. One of Australia's oldest family-owned jam, condiment and sauce producers, it is now run by the sixth generation of the Paech family on their Hahndorf farm. Open all year round, 7 days a week (except Christmas Day), the farm shop is open 9am to 5pm. Enjoy a leisurely browse through the complete collection of farm-made products in the delightful farm shop. During strawberry season (November to April), bring the family and pick your own strawberries from 9am to last field entry at 4.15pm. Patch entry is $5.00 per adult (13 years and under are free). Strawberries you pick are then weighed and are $10.95/kg.

We visted the farm on a beautiful morning not long after opening and was already getting busy. We had some great family time picking in the strawberry patch and filled a few tubs. They taste so sweet and fresh. The visitors shop is full of good things. The only thing we think that is missing is a cafe. Imagine being able to sit and have scones, strawberry jam and cream with a coffee or tea, i think this would be very popular and was something we thought would be there. Loved our visit.

A place where people and animals get together. See all your favourite Australian animals such as wombats, dingoes and Tasmanian devils. Feed the kangaroos and wallabies and cuddle a koala daily at 11.30am, 1.30 & 3.30pm

Spent a very pleasant four hours at this small wildlife centre. Very good value at $19 each plus another $10 for the ‘hold a koala’ experience. The holding session was well organised and the koala diligently posed with a number of visitors whilst concentrating on their eucalyptus leaves. Overall the centre appears to have approximately 50% of the wildlife roaming free whilst the majority of the caged animals and birds appeared to have enough space. Great variety of birds, animals and reptiles including native Australian species and others from overseas. The park is small enough to walk round in an hour but we found the more you looked the more you discovered. Only a short drive from Adelaide so easily fitted into a holiday schedule. Additionally worth a mention is the friendliness of the staff who mix in with visitors and were helpful throughout.
5. The Cedars

Six of us, including SA locals, interstate and overseas friends visited The Cedars where we took a self guided tour of the Han's Heysen Studio, a walk on the property (Artists Walk) and down to the green pool, followed by joining the guided tour of the House and self guided tour of the Nora Heysen Studio. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the volunteer staff and guides were helpful and informative. One of our overseas guests even commented that she enjoyed it as much as visiting Monet's House and Garden in Giverny! The garden surrounding the house was lovely with many old fashioned plants and flowers and lawned areas, and the Artist's Walk took in magnificent gum trees on the bushland property.

The day at the park was awesome. I enjoyed to walk through the huge enclosures of the different kangaroos and wallabies. To hand feed the kangaroos was a great experience, to be close to them and to sit down and look at the kangaroos. Fantastic was also the Koala "close-up" experience in the morning. To enjoy this you have to be there minimum a half an hour before they start because there is a limited number of people who can do it and if you like they take photos with your own camera. And, There are a few other Koalas on eucalyptus trees, if you don't like to wait in line I spent a long time next to my favourite animal the Wombats. I saw my first white wombat and he was moving around. That was a memorable event for me. I was so fascinated by the wildlife and walking around there are also echidnas, potoroos, emus, birds and much more. It is a great Park to see lots of Australian Wildlife.

What's big and beautiful and goes broom-broom? The National Motor Museum - located less than an hour from the centre of Adelaide, in the picturesque Adelaide Hills. The Museum features over 300 vehicles spanning over 100 years of Australian motoring history,from a steam carriage built in 1899 to modern hybrid cars. A diverse collection including motorcycles, cars, commercial vehicles, motoring curios and even a road train. The Museum is also home to the historic finish event of the famous Bay to Birdwood and holds the annual Rock & Roll Rendezvous every April with great live bands, stalls and hundreds of cars and motorbikes on show. There are lots of fun trails and interactives for families and visitors. The Museum can also cater to group bookings such as schools, car clubs, social groups and other events. It is the must see attraction in the Adelaide Hills.

This museum is amazing with the number of cars on display and the quality of what is on show is twice as amazing. The Holden concept cars which are featuring at the moment are a privilege to see and may never be seen altogether this way again. Definitely worth the visit, there will be a car there that everyone can appreciate.
