TOURING AND CRUISING

arranged to join Captain Proud for a delightful luncheon cruise on the Murray River. Back on
dry land we visit a South Australian icon, The Cedars which was the home and studio of world-
renowned artist, Hans Heysen. Here we will enjoy a guided tour of the house and the studio
(which has been kept just the way Hans Heysen left it, including some unfinished sketches) and
the extensive gardens. This was his base as he painted extensively onsite in the hills around
Hahndorf and in the Flinders Ranges.

DAY 4 Tuesday 13th April, 2021
ADELAIDE
We make our way into Adelaide today where we have arranged a tour of the Adelaide Oval.
The redeveloped oval offers a unique blend of new and old – from the latest in stadium design
to the famous features such as the heritage listed scoreboard, the century-old Moreton Bay
Fig trees and the grassed northern mound. Our tour will take us behind the scenes to the inner
workings of this iconic ground. Early afternoon, we head to Glenelg, a seaside suburb where
we enjoy our high tea lunch. We now have some free time to stroll along Jetty Road, or
perhaps a walk along the beach or the jetty, before returning to Hahndorf.
OVERNIGHT: Manna of Hahndorf, ADELAIDE HILLS

EXPLORING HANDORF AND THE HILLS
Today we will spend the full day exploring the Adelaide Hills. Our first morning stop is to
Beerenberg Strawberry Farm. Fully Australian owned and all products are made at this farm.
You may not know but Beerenberg products can now be found in 24 countries, on major
airlines and in more than 300 hotels! From here we’ll embark on a unique enterprise on a
behind the scenes tour of the biodynamic Jurlique Farm. We will see and learn about the
nature and science behind their skin care products including the history of Jurlique, the display
garden, seed propagation area, herb drying shed and the farm retail shop. As this is a working
farm, we are required to wear closed in shoes and long trousers. Sit back, relax and enjoy the
country air as we travel through the pretty townships of Aldgate and Stirling to reach the
Stanley Bridge Tavern in Verdun for lunch. Later this afternoon we return to Hahndorf for a
special experience being escorted around Historic Hahndorf township visiting Germanic

a superb natural bird sanctuary with vast numbers of waterbirds. The movie Storm Boy, a film
about a young boy’s friendship with a pelican, was shot on the Coorong. Arriving in Kingston

cross the “great volcanic plain” we travel alongside miles of fascinating dry-stone walls which
are a feature of the countryside and known as the Stony Rises. The walls were built in the
