ADELAIDE HILLS
When the Adelaide plains are desert-hot in the summer months, the Adelaide Hills (tech-
nically the Mt Lofty Ranges) are always a few degrees cooler, with crisp air, woodland
shade and labyrinthine valleys. Early colonists built stately summer houses around Stirl-
ing and Aldgate, and German settlers escaping religious persecution also arrived, infus-
ing towns such as Hahndorf and Lobethal with European values and architecture.
