Alexandrina Council is inviting the community to take part in ‘Alexandrina Through Your Eyes’, a photography and caption project celebrating the natural places in the region that

restore and inspire.

This project encourages residents and visitors to share photographs and short reflections of landscapes within Alexandrina that support their wellbeing and places where they feel calm,

connected, grounded, or uplifted.

The photographic contributions will then form the foundation of a travelling exhibition highlighting the diverse natural landscapes in the region, to be displayed at the Strathalbyn

and Goolwa libraries.

The project is part of Council’s broader ‘Wellness in Nature’ initiative, funded through an Age Friendly SA Grant from Office for Ageing Well.

"This project is more than an exhibition - it’s about recognising the role nature plays in our health and happiness,” says Alexandrina Mayor Keith Parkes.

“By sharing photos and short reflections, we’re building a stronger, more connected community that values the environment and the wellbeing it provides.

"I’m looking forward to seeing the submissions. I might even discover a hidden gem or a new favourite spot in our region. Alexandrina is full of special places, and this is a great way to

share them."

Submissions are now open and close at 5pm, 27 February 2026. To get involved, visit the council website to submit photos (up to 10MB) and caption. Terms and conditions apply.
