"Hardy was sort of an antipodean Jay Gatsby, a lawyer, politician, and party animal. He and his wife, Martha, lived in what she described as 'a kind of feudal splendor,' hosting decadent dinners and soirées for well-to-do farmers and Adelaide worthies. Today that tradition of festive gastronomy is kept alive at Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant, which has terrific valley views." - Travel + Leisure Editors
