Lake Innes Ruins, Port Macquarie, New South Wales
Lake Innes Ruins, Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Colonial mansion ruins in Port Macquarie, Australia.
The remains of Lake Innes House include foundations of a 22-room mansion with stables and worker quarters spread across the historical site.
Major Archibald Clunes Innes constructed this grand estate between 1831 and 1848, employing convict labor during the early settlement of New South Wales.
The estate served as a social center where prominent guests gathered, as documented in detailed diaries by family member Annabella Boswell.
The ruins stand 11 kilometers south of Port Macquarie, with current access restricted due to damage from the October 2019 bushfires.
Giant bamboo clusters remain on the grounds as the last visible elements of the original gardens that once adorned this colonial estate.
