VERY YOUMrs Macquarie's Chair
THE TAKE
Convicts carved a bench out of the sandstone in 1810 because Governor Macquarie wanted somewhere for his wife Elizabeth to sit. The story is that she watched for ships coming in from Britain. It is still the spot where the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge line up in one frame, and it costs nothing.
WHY IT’S WORTH IT
1Carved by convicts in 1810 for one woman to sit and watch the harbour.
2The Opera House and the bridge line up from here. That is why everyone comes.
3Free, always open, and next door to the Art Gallery and the Botanic Garden.
