Due to the successful film,Picnic at Hanging Rock,it's also known as one of 'Australia's Best Known Houses' worldwide.
Built by Edmund Bowman (1855-1921) it's such a romantic and historical setting.The Bowman brothers were renowned pastoralists and prominent builders,other well known houses being Barton Vale at Enfield,Werocata Homestead and Pareora.
If you are planning some time up this way, an internet search will give you the opening times of Martindale Hall.

I used to spend a lot of time around GZ when I was young and loved going to the Hall with my Grandmother,especially for picnics.
The creeks around this location were so much fun and I remember catching heaps of frogs as a child.
