Adelaide Hills - Fast Facts

Popular and hugely attractive district to the east of Adelaide.

There is considerable confusion amongst South Australians as to just exactly what and where the Adelaide Hills are. Some people tend to say 'Oh its the area around Stirling and Bridgewater'. Others, including one cynical taxi driver, describe it as a trendy area which should be turned into a theme park to attract tourists to the state. And others, after thinking about it, describe it as the area to the west of Adelaide which extends from the foothills behind Adelaide and stretches from Williamstown in the north to Strathalbyn in the south and includes the major centres of Hahndorf, Mount Barker, Stirling, Crafers-Bridgewater, Aldgate, Lobethal, Birdwood, Mylor, Summertownand Gumeracha.

Each of those destinations is covered under separate entries. This general coverage is an attempt to cover some of the particular attractions of the smaller villages in the Adelaide Hills.
