Mrs Macquarie's Chair

Mrs Macquarie's Chair. Nestled in the lush expanse of the Royal Botanic Gardens, this spot is not just a chair, it's a slice of history with a view that will leave you speechless.

Mrs Macquarie's Chair was carved by convicts back in 1810 for Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of Governor Lachlan Macquarie. Legend has it that she loved to sit here and take in the stunning views of Sydney Harbour. And honestly, who can blame her? The panoramic vistas from this vantage point are nothing short of spectacular. You get a front-row seat to the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and Fort Denison – all in one sweeping glance.

It's the perfect spot to snap some Instagram-worthy photos
