Introduction

The Royal Botanic Garden is located behind the Opera House and is home to many unique Australian plants. During the colonial era, it was the site of the Governor-General's residence and later became the location of the New South Wales government. Along the garden's east side, the Queen Elizabeth Walk leads directly to Mrs. Macquarie's Point. Free guided walks are offered daily. The endpoint of the walkway is a platform known as "Mrs. Macquarie's Chair" that offers iconic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. It is also a common sight in travel books.
