Mrs Macquaries Chair

Image
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. source Can you guess the whereabout of the Chair? Saw some birds too. Australian White Ibis wish I could talk to them.. they seemed so cool..

Welcome to the Royal Botanic Gardens. An oasis of 30 hectares in the heart of the city. I was actually amazed by the uniqueness of the trees. They remind me of the trees in Taiping Lake garden. 4pm, 15 june 10 I love this view the most. The significant Sydney Opera House and the Harbor Bridge.
