Imagine living here

with all those stairs to climb,

and every room you enter

takes you back in time.

Everywhere you wander,

every corner you explore,

could there be a ghost or two

behind a secret door?

Teacher’s note: Martindale Hall, Mintaro, South Australia, famously appeared in the movie Picnic at Hanging Rock. Completed in 1880 with 32 rooms, and once the home of the Mortlock family, this Georgian mansion is now open to the public six days a week.
