Government House, Government building in Kingston, Norfolk Island.
The Georgian mansion with thick stone walls and iron-barred windows stands within the Kingston and Arthurs Vale Historic Area of Norfolk Island.
Built in 1829 as part of the Second Settlement period, the residence replaced earlier structures that were deliberately burned down in 1814.
The building serves as the residence of the Administrator of Norfolk Island and holds formal receptions for official ceremonies throughout the year.
Government House opens to visitors on select charity open days with a $15 entrance fee, and inquiries can be made at the Tourist Information Centre.
The structure features 60-centimeter-thick walls and mounted cannons at the entrance, designed to prevent potential attacks from convicts during colonial times.
