20.01.2022 The Cedars garden is unique in that much of it was designed and planted by Sir Hans Heysen himself. The flower beds are bordered with quartz collected from the western side of the property and likely lugged over from there by horse and cart, and the steps and dry-stone walling were brought in from local quarries at Verdun and Hahndorf. Come and visit the rambling Artist’s Garden, stunning in any season. Visit Adelaide Hills Hahndorf History Trust of South Australia ...

11.01.2022 Many of us are using the COVID-19 border restrictions as an opportunity to explore our own backyards! Did you know that between 1926 and 1949 Hans Heysen did exactly that with eleven adventures to the Flinders Ranges? For later trips he was driven by his son David in a 1928 A20 Model Ford towing this custom-built 1931 camper-trailer their shelter whilst he explored the remarkable valleys and peaks and filled his folio and sketchbooks with drawings and watercolours. Once bac...k home in his studio, he transposed this material into oil and watercolour paintings that have become treasures in numerous public and private collections. Make The Cedars a destination on one of your adventures and see the Model A Ford and remarkable poptop caravan on show in the garage, as well as some of Heysen's original Flinders Ranges pictures.
