We returned to the German settled town of Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills. This time we travelled via public bus to afford us more time than our previous rushed visit as part of a tour. It turns out there wasn’t that much more to see. Still, we picked up a used book for me, a used sweater for Deborah (it was a bit chilly that morning) and had a nice chat with the friendly husband and wife proprietors of the thrift shop. Then, after a nice lunch of fish and chips we walked a fair bit to The Cedars, the 150 acre homestead of famous* South Australian artist Hans Heysen, whose amazing paintings we saw in Adelaide at the Gallery of South Australia. We toured the grand but comfortable family home, the artist’s studio, and the pastoral acreage full of Heysen’s beloved gum trees as well as a few cows and large numbers of annoying flies.
* We hadn’t heard of him previous to coming to Adelaide but have been assured that he is indeed famous.
