Tourist attraction · Adelaide Hills

"Intrigued, the following day I toured Heysen’s estate, the Cedars, outside Hahndorf, a town that wears its German heritage proudly. Hans was a conservationist before it was popular in Australia, said a volunteer guide, Jo Kerestes, as we wandered the serene home and gardens. Heysen lived there with his wife and their eight children, like the von Trapp family. They were great entertainers, luring Hollywood stars and European aristocrats. Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh performed Shakespeare here. Anna Pavlova danced, Kerestes said proudly as she showed me a modest stage in the living room." - Travel + Leisure Editors
