I am planning a trip to Iandra Castle (Iandra Homestead Pastoral Estate), I just missed out on yesterday's open day, so I am determined to see it as soon as possible. It will be a lovely day out, as I love historical places and gardens. Iandra is a heritage listed estate which commenced construction in 1880 and completed by 1910. Beautiful and romantic architecture of a bygone era of which not many are left in Australia. Thankfully what is left is heritage protected to showcase the past achievements of a young and  developing nation of Victorian and Edwardian times.

I do hope that people seeing this blog post may take the trip out to see this lovely place and breathe in the lovely country air. It is worth the drive out there for a day trip and perhaps a picnic. Don't forget to take a hat if going in the warm weather to walk in the gardens. Ladies how about a parasol to prevent hat hair and feel like a lady of olden times?
