Old Government House, to this day, is Australia's oldest surviving public building. Located in the heart of historic Parramatta at the gates to the park it is approximately 1 hour's drive from Central Sydney.
This beautiful Old homestead was first built by Governors Hunter and Macquarie between 1799 and 1816. It has a fine collection of colonial furniture and has been featured in many Australian historical drama's including "Oscar and Lucinda" starring Ralph Finnes and Cate Blanchette.
The building is gloriously renovated and still open for the public on a daily basis.
A highly popular ghost tour was begun in the early 1990's. The tour still runs today on Friday nights. The building is most definitely haunted and many an unwary tourist has been lucky enough to come face to face with one of the spectral residents.
