School holiday fun in the city… My eldest is right into photography at the moment and I love to get out and shoot with him. So I took the opportunity to get him out of the house today and hone his skills around the city, naturally keeping a good social distance between us and other humans (COVID-19 for those reading this when 2020 is nothing but a bad memory). We were looking for street art and weren’t disappointed. Adelaide hasn’t got the brick canvases of your Melbourne’s or NYC, but hey, we’re on our way. There’s some really beautiful works to be found and pounding the pavement with my son makes the search even better!!

The Art of Adventure

Like most kids, my boys love exploration and adventure. Give them a bit of space, a secret garden, hidden pathways historic buildings and even a bit of wildlife and they are in their element. So our visit to Mount Lofty House in the Adelaide Hills for a sculpture hunt was a perfect Saturday morning activity. As part of the 2015 SALA festival, Mount Lofty House has a number of beautiful installations by Manning Sculptures spread throughout their vast grounds. I love MLH, it’s one of my favourite locations for Hills weddings thanks to the wonderful views and textures around the property. It provides the perfect backdrop for this stunning art, and while the pieces have just been added for the month of August, they fit seamlessly with their surrounds…The perfect blend of art and nature.
