Main Street, Hahndorf (in the Adelaide Hills)

The Adelaide Hills, just 20 minutes from Adelaide city via the new Heysen Tunnels, were originally settled by German immigrants, with the town of Hahndorf being established in 1839. In 1908, the now-famous landscape painter Hans Heysen moved to Hahndorf, gaining inspiration from the sylvan bush countryside around the town. Nowadays, the Adelaide Hills are also renowned for their fine cool-climate wines.
