Description
Take a step back in time and discover Australia’s convict beginnings at this UNESCO World Heritage-listed site.
Located on Burramatta Dharug Country in Parramatta, Old Government House is the oldest surviving public building in Australia and one of 11 recognised convict sites that tell the story of Australia’s forced convict migration.
Wander through the elegant Georgian house, get up close to rare colonial furniture, textiles and homewares, and hear the real stories of convicts and the first ten Governors of New South Wales. Bring a picnic to enjoy in the surrounding parklands overlooking Parramatta River.
