Lucky Hills

Lucky Hills: our editorial collection.

Lucky Hills is not a separate business — it is the name we give the ongoing collection of stories, categories and regions covered on Modern Life Hills.

The regions

Real hill regions, covered honestly.

Lucky Hills currently draws on six named Australian hill regions: Adelaide Hills, Perth Hills, Macedon Ranges, Yarra Valley, Blue Mountains and Dandenong Ranges. Each region informs our editorial coverage rather than being treated as a bookable destination.

Cool-climate and coastal-adjacent

Adelaide Hills and Perth Hills offer two different versions of the same idea: hill country close enough to a capital city to reshape a weekend.

Volcanic soils and valley light

Macedon Ranges and Yarra Valley are shaped by rich soil, gardens and produce grown a short drive from where it is eaten.

Escarpment and tall forest

Blue Mountains and Dandenong Ranges bring sandstone cliffs and fern gullies into daily life for the towns built among them.
