South Australia: Eden Valley- Morgan Trencher

A long eight hour drive with the most charming scenery was the start to my trip. Fields, quaint little houses and horses were what my eyes flashed past as the car raced down the long stretch of road. The trip finally ended when we arrived at my family’s farm. As I stepped out of the car a wave of fresh air breezed over me. The property was huge, full of fields and trees and animals. The area was so peaceful and serene, no traffic, no cities and no pollution. The break from the busy city was very pleasant.

The days were very hot, so during the day my cousins and I swam in the lake on their property, which probably had snakes swimming in there. We also fed the baby calves who quite enjoyed to break into the neighbour’s field in the middle of the night. During the night we saw the starry sky, as we were far away from the city. It was so beautiful to gaze at the sky as my cousin and I swang on a tyre attached to a tree.   

We took a trip to the Barossa Valley which was very beautiful. We visited all the wineries and saw the rows and rows of grape vines. The view was beautiful and it was very peaceful. I would definitely recommend for anyone to visit Eden Valley for a quiet retreat away from city life. I really enjoyed the chance to relax and step away from a busy city and day to day stress. This would be a fantastic holiday for someone who enjoys a quiet and slow holiday.
