About this Event
As part of the 175th Mintaro Celebrations Martindale Farm is provided guided tours of this famous sheep stud. Established by Edmund Bowman Senior it sits across the road from Martindale Hall which was built by his son Edmund Bowman Junior and it follows the course of the ‘Wakefield River’.
Current owners Dianne and Graeme Johnson bought this majestic merino farm due to their love for the land and the sheep and will be hosting a guided tour which will include the historic shearing shed. The fully guided tour will also include visiting the original Martindale Station old barn and the reworked cottage.
There will be some refreshments including tea/coffee/soup plus lamb sausage and bread at the Shearers Quarters.
Note there will be some car pooling after everyone meets at the Shearing Shed – make sure have enclosed footwear.
Proceeds to support the Mintaro Progress Association for community projects.
