From the Sydney World / Places

Elizabeth Farm

Australia's oldest surviving European house sits within recreated gardens at Parramatta, revealing both the Macarthur household and the deeper Burramattagal landscape.

Elizabeth Farm

Why go

The modest core of the 1793 house survives inside later extensions, making architectural change visible from room to room. Recreated gardens and domestic interpretation show how the estate functioned, but the visit also requires attention to dispossession and the Burramattagal country on which it was built. Its Parramatta location makes this a deliberate half-day excursion.

What to look for

  • The modest core of the 1793 house survives inside later extensions, making architectural change visible from room.
