Old Government House

Old Government House in Parramatta Park, Parramatta, New South Wales, is Australia's oldest surviving public building, constructed between 1799 and 1818. It served as the country residence for ten early Governors of New South Wales, including Governor Lachlan Macquarie. Now a house museum managed by the National Trust of Australia (NSW), it is part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage listing and displays colonial furniture and collections.

Visitors can explore a two-storey Georgian brick house set within Parramatta Park, with furnished rooms recreating the early colonial period, including the drawing room, bedrooms and Governor's study. The interior contains National Trust collections of early Australian furniture and objects. Surroundings include formal gardens, parklands and outbuildings. Guided tours explain the building's evolution and convict history. Visitors walk through period rooms, view exhibitions and explore the park setting.
