You step out of your hotel into cool Adelaide morning air and the city slips away behind low stone walls and gum-scented hills. The road climbs, and soon the plains unfurl beneath you from Mt Lofty lookout — a wide, flat light that seems to press the city and coastline into a single, patient map. Your guide points out the route: historic Hahndorf with its timbered storefronts, the river port of Goolwa, and the granite curve of Victor Harbour where horse-drawn trams still creak toward the island.

Hahndorf was established in the 1830s as South Australia’s first German settlement; Goolwa later grew as a Murray River port shipping goods to the sea.
