As promised, here are some more photos from our trip to South Australia. We really enjoyed the diverse scenery, the wildlife and the culture, and we’ve been so lucky with the weather too – the crispy winter days have been just perfect! It’s been so nice just to warm up by the fire sipping a hot cup of tea or a big bowl of soup after a cold day outside.
In just a few days we’ve seen the famous wine regions, the iconic Australian countryside, the rolling hills and the beautiful coast lining the Southern Ocean. We’ve visited numerous small country towns, all with a fascinating history and such a unique atmosphere. It’s been a perfect setting to relax and get away from Sydney’s hustle and bustle.
It’s been an unforgettable trip for all the above reasons made even more special by a proposal by my partner of five and a half years. Yes, we are getting married! The wedding will be held in a year’s time. This will give us and our family and friends enough time to prepare and join us on our special day.
Thank you all for your comments and thoughts on Twitter, I can really feel the love and I cannot thank you enough for your wishes!

Wow! Congratulations on your engagement! I really enjoy reading your blog, and you've hit a big soft spot of mine now! I lived in Brisbane for two years and then Sydney for three years. But my heart was left in South Australia! It's a wonderful state overlooked by most Australians. Mass murderers and churches are all that come to mind! But the Barossa Vintage Festival is hands-down my favorite event in all of Australia. I always used to stay right there in Angaston near the blacksmith at a rental cottage. Is Bruce the cockatoo still living there? (I spy his cage in your photo!) He's a character... The food and wine in SA might be the best in all of Australia. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
ReplyDeleteAll of your photos are just stunning. I've been craving an Australia trip. The penguins! SO cute. Congrats on the engagement!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch GORGEOUS Photos .. and those penguins .. SO CUTE!! I have been to Australia twice and never got enough time to see around the place.
ReplyDeleteMaria this is WONDERFUL NEWS!! Congratulations!! xx
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you held out until the end of the post to tell us..!! :)
I am more than thrilled your trip was so fantastic, and now South Australia will always have a special place in your hearts. A place to visit for wedding anniversaries, and of course eventually take the kids..! :))
Did you see the email I sent you? I am hoping to do the post in a couple of days so please let me know if I can showcase you and your amazing blog in it.
