The Lane Vineyard, Hahndorf, Adam Bruzzone ADELAIDE HILLS Welcome to the Adelaide Hills, where each distinct season provides another reason to visit – from the romantic morning mists and cosy fires of winter, profusion of garden colour in spring, cool shady beer gardens and fruit picking in summer, to the glorious leaves of autumn. Cuddle a koala, meet winemakers, enjoy a craft beer or cider, pick your own fruit, come for one of the many events and markets, or enjoy a lunch that lasts all afternoon. While regional gateways are just a 20 minute drive from Adelaide, be sure to explore further afield and take your time to discover the diverse landscape, where See detailed Map 7 on page 69 corduroy vineyards intersect with rambling forest and steep ridges yield to rolling hills and orchards. Fine studios and galleries abound, from the immense cultural legacy of Sir Hans Heysen’s home, ‘The Cedars’, to grassroots community spaces. Over 50 cellar doors are spread across the Hills, from tiny solo acts to slick, contemporary venues. Cheese and chocolate, craft beer and cider, gin, and even bread and jam are made the old-fashioned way – with hands and heart. You can satisfy your appetite in a country pub or bakery, take a gourmet approach in a sophisticated restaurant, or picnic with local produce fresh from the farm gate or roadside stall.

INFORMATION TOP TIPS FOR BUYING A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE There is a recreational vehicle to suit nearly everyone’s needs and budget, from small tent trailers to motorhomes and everything in between. The key is determining your needs and why you are buying a recreational vehicle. 1. Do you want to tow it or drive it? If you are keen on towing, can your current car safely and legally tow? And if so, how much can you tow? Knowing this will enable you to focus on what type of product you can buy (e.g. caravan or camper trailer). If you just want to jump in and drive, a campervan or motorhome may be the way to go! 2. Consider the type of trips you want to take Are you looking to head off with the family for weekend getaways or are you planning to do a lap of Australia? Do you want to be able to take it off-road? Will you have access to power and water? Do you want to bring a boat as well? 3. Make sure you’re dealing with a reputable dealer/ manufacturer. Before buying, head to an industry-run Caravan & Camping Show. RVs displayed at industry run Caravan Shows are subjected to random compliance reviews which can provide a higher level of confidence for consumers. You can also look for the RVMAP Accreditation Key as you shop around. 4. Test drive or test tow! Once you have narrowed down your choices, take some options for a spin and see how they feel! If you’ve never towed a caravan/camper or driven a motorhome/ campervan before, you might consider renting one in advance so it’s not an altogether new experience. It’s important to choose a recreational vehicle you feel safe, confident and comfortable driving or towing - and one that you can see yourself enjoying for years to come.
