FLM takes to the road with wanderlust in the driver’s seat to explore some of the aesthetic riches or our region. Nothing is quite as engaging as being wrapped in a vast and wild landscape.

Full immersion in nature is proven to enrich one’s sense of wellbeing, calm and belonging. Filling our senses with the Fleurieu’s pristine offerings can only do us good.

Inhaling the freshest of air, accented by notes of eucalypt, pine, and sun-dried grasses. The click and crackle metronome of cicadas, overlaid by birdsong weaving through trees and shrubs.

The taste of salt and minerals on the tongue, as waves crash against mottled red-clay cliff faces, the wind dancing with our hair. Look out on the sunlit vista then accept the offer of distraction from butterflies and bees making their playful flight paths among wildflowers.
