John Riddell visits a historic pastoral property on the shores of Lake Alexandria. Poltalloch is perfect for a family escape with a number of accommodation options to choose from. During their stay guests can discover the heritage of the station by taking a history tour, paddle canoes or row dinghies on the lake, enjoy bushwalking and bird watching or just sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet of this very private and isolated estate - only an hour and a half drive from the city
