Old Government House, Parramatta
Old Government House, Parramatta, UNESCO heritage site in Parramatta, Australia
The Georgian building stands within Parramatta Park, featuring colonial furniture collections and historical exhibits across multiple restored rooms.
Between 1800 and 1847, the residence served as the country home for ten early governors of New South Wales during the colonial period.
The structure sits on Darug land, where the Burramatta people maintained the area through traditional land management for thousands of years.
Visitors can access the house from Thursday through Sunday, with guided tours available and National Trust members receiving free admission.
The grounds contain trees with visible marks from Aboriginal firestick practices, preserving evidence of pre-colonial land management techniques.
