Why go
Government House shows how vice-regal ceremony was staged at the edge of the harbour. Turrets, crenellations and richly furnished rooms contrast with broad lawns and views over Farm Cove. Interior access depends on official use and guided openings, but the surrounding garden setting and exterior still add a valuable architectural layer to an Opera House walk.
