A Stop at Macquarie's Point

This point sticks out into Sydney Harbour just to the east of the Opera House. It's at the northern tip of the Botannical Garden. In the second half of the 19th century, Governor Lachlan Macquarie's wife Elizabeth would come here to sit and view the harbor, watching ships come and go. A chair was carved out of a ledge in the cliffs presently offering a fine view of the Opera House and Harbor Bridge. This is called Mrs. Macquarie's chair. We didn't see the chair, but it's a popular tourist attraction.
