Mrs Macquaries Chair

Mrs Macquarie, was the wife of colonel Lachlan Macquarie (31 January, 1762-1 July, 1824), the sixth Governor of New South Wales, who is regarded by many, as the real founder of Australia.

The spot we call today, Mrs Macquarie's Chair, situated in the Royal Botanic Gardens, used to be the favorite retreat place for Mrs Macquarie. As Governor Macquarie, liked people to name places after him, the headland were his wife used to spend time, was named: Mrs Macquarie's Chair.


Compare the size of the Chair with the boy..

The place has no historical significance, but offers one of the best views of the Sydney Harbour, and represents a good photographic opportunity.

  6. Almost bridal. I’m not sure if they look more saintly, or a little bit naughty! A very beautiful image in any case.
