Clare Valley - Tanunda

Sunday 16th November – Monday 17th November

We left Minlaton this morning, and we drove to Clare Valley.
We are staying here for a few nights.

On Monday we went for a drive around the Clare Valley area, it is a very picturesque area.

We went to a place called Mintaro which is home to a living maze. The goal being to reach the centre and then find your way back out again.

Afterwards we went to Martindale Hall. It was built in 1879. It was used in the film Picnic at Hanging Rock as the girls boarding school. Martindale Hall’s white room was Miranda’s room in the movie.

You were not allowed to take photos of the inside of the house.

It was just beautiful inside and the workman ship that went in to it is something you don’t see today. It reminded us a lot of the Werribee Mansion.
