Hahndorf History Tour
You will eat food descended from recipes that crossed an ocean, taste strawberry jam from a family that has farmed here for six generations, and finish with a gin that reclaims the very name the government imposed to erase Hahndorf's German identity. Hahndorf sits in the Adelaide Hills, 28 kilometres south-east of the city, and it looks like a storybook version of a German village transplanted to the Australian bush. Which is exactly what it is. In 1838, a shipload of Lutheran families fleeing religious persecution in Prussia sailed into Port Adelaide aboard the Zebra. Their Danish captain, Dirk Hahn, personally negotiated their land, and they named their new home after him. This walking journey follows what happened next; Expect to walk under elms and chestnuts planted in 1885, past headstones inscribed in old German script, through a heritage building that has been a school, a seminary, a hospital, a dental surgery, and an art gallery. You will eat food descended from recipes that crossed an ocean, taste strawberry jam from a family that has farmed here for six generations, and finish with a gin that reclaims the very name the government imposed to erase Hahndorf's German identity.
The Making of Adelaide
Follow cryptic clues through Adelaide's parks and streets to learn the history of Adelaide from Light's city plan to a final food gathering. Adelaide did not happen by accident. It was drawn, debated, and built from scratch by people with a plan and a point to prove. This walking mystery journey traces that story across eight locations in the city centre, from the hilltop where Colonel William Light first pointed across an empty plain in 1836, to the bustling centre where the world gathers under one roof today. Along the way, you will unlock cathedrals, mansions, parliaments, haunted arcades, and the building that Adelaide's citizens saved from the wrecking ball. "Light's City: The Making of Adelaide" is a two to three hour, 4.8km walk through nearly two centuries of ambition, controversy, wealth, and reinvention. Each stop is unlocked by GPS as you arrive, and each narration connects you to the next chapter in the story. Expect colonial drama, architectural surprises, a ghost or two, and the satisfying feeling of understanding why this particular city feels the way it does. No two walkers experience it the same way, but everyone finishes hungry — and that is by design.
The Whale Road – Fleurieu Narrated Tour
Follow the southern coast whale road. Southern Ocean Encounters — Victor Harbor, Encounter Bay, Port Elliot, Goolwa — Southern Fleurieu, South Australia. From the brutal whaling era that first drew Europeans to these waters, through dramatic wildlife and wild coastline, to the Indigenous connection to this country, and finally to the meeting of Australia's greatest river with the Southern Ocean. An arc from exploitation to wonder, from harpoons to hope. Each location peels back a layer: The Hunt - The Station - The Crossing - The Wild Edge - The Harbour Table - The Quiet Shore - The Port - The Meeting of Waters.
