Editor’s note – Autumn 2025

Welcome to the autumn 2025 edition of the Hills Wanderer.

Welcome to the autumn 2025 edition of the Hills Wanderer!

Autumn’s cooler weather presents the perfect opportunity to start getting back out into the great outdoors and, in this edition of the Hills Wanderer, we take you through some of the best walks in the Adelaide Hills.

We also go behind the scenes at the popular Atkins sunflower farm to find out how the property was transformed from a dairy farm to a sea of yellow, and introduce you to an Adelaide Hills up-and-coming fantasy author.

This year marks 10 years since the world-class UKARIA Cultural Centre opened at Mt Barker Summit, so we caught up with founder Ulrike Klein to find out what the venue means to her a decade on.
