Martindale Hall
A Georgian-style mansion completed in 1880 and the filming location of Picnic at Hanging Rock, with its Victorian-era furnishings preserved.
Built in 1880 by English craftsmen for the pastoralist Edmund Bowman, this Georgian-style stone mansion has 32 rooms plus seven cellar rooms. It was later donated to the University of Adelaide by the Mortlock family, and it became famous in 1975 as the girls' school in the film Picnic at Hanging Rock. Its original furniture, billiard room, library, and hunting trophies are preserved, and it sits amid open pastureland. It is about 3 km south of Mintaro. Opening hours and tour arrangements have been adjusted several times in recent years, so check before you set out.
