Old Government House

The country seat of the governors

Pitt Street and Macquarie Street
Parramatta Park
Sydney, NSW 2150
+61 (0)2 9635 8149

This, the oldest surviving public building in Australia dates back to 1799 and was extended by Governor Macquarie between 1815 and 1816. Some of the original 18th century joinery, doors and other details still survive. Its interiors have been carefully restored and contain the most important collection of early colonial furniture in Australia. Well worth a visit.
