Mintaro Maze was designed by Michael Morris, with the original plan on paper being altered due to the design not fitting on the odd shaped block! So the maze took it shape as he went pegging it out by eye and using his imagination with help of his son Tyson.
Mintaro Maze is planted on land that was originally used to impound bullock traffic back in the 1800’s, bullock teams travelling between Burra and Port Wakefield would stop in Mintaro to rest; Stock-man would impound their animals and make their way to the local pub, the Magpie & Stump.
When planting the maze many old beer bottles and horse shoes.
