Parramatta Park, Parramatta, entry from Pitt Street, 2-4pm.

Enjoy a Sunday afternoon 'Grand Tour' of Old Government Hosue, Parramatta, Australia's oldest surviving pubic building. The central block of the house was completed in 1799 by Governor John Hunter, however, the appearance of the house is largely thanks to Governor and Mrs Macquarie. The house is furnished with pieces from the National Trust's collection of early colonial furniture, the largest collection in Australia.

Refreshments will be served in the courtyard by Lachlan's, the property's on-site restaurant.
