Old Government House

Three volunteers greeted our group at the Government House. They accompanied us into the house for morning tea and showed us a videotape, which gave us an in-depth understanding of the history of the house. Then, we visited the house and garden, and about two hours before leaving, then met with the Governor.

The Brisbane Open Day weekend was cold and humid, but this did not stop us from booking a trip to the Government House. The building is magnificent and low-key, which makes people feel very warm. The Governor personally greets each tour group, which is good. Our guide explained the history of this building, it is the history of various residents and many objects, furniture and functions in the rooms. We were allowed to take any photos we wanted and enjoyed our visit very much. I would recommend it to anyone interested in Brisbane and its history. Allow enough time to get there. There is no public transportation at the door and parking spaces are very limited. We parked the car in the city and sent Uber to the building, and when he put us at the door, it worked very well.

Lovely building, great art - the best Lamington!The house is beautifully restored and free to enter. There''s a lovely collection of William Robinson painthing upstairs, with very friendly and informative staff ready to share knowledge (thank you Joseph!). Finally, the cafe is lovely and has THE BEST Lamington I''ve ever had (fitting as this is the home of the cake!) Thank you!

The Old Governor’s Mansion in Brisbane is a Victorian building built between 1860 and 1862. It is one of Brisbane’s most famous historical attractions and the best window to understand the early colonial history of Queensland. The old governor’s mansion is not far from the CBD in the city center. Walk along George Street from the city center to the end. It is adjacent to the urban botanical garden and is located on the Garden Corner campus of Queensland University of Technology. If you walk from South Bank Park, you can also reach it through the Lucky Bridge. The Old Governor’s Mansion not only has a long history, but also the place where the famous Australian Laminton cake was invented. This attraction is adjacent to the Botanic Gardens and Queensland University of Technology, and it is completely free to visit. It is a good place for tourists to learn about Brisbane.

There are not many inside for tourists to visit, just look up and photograph the building. The tourist information center is on the first floor of the building. At first glance, it still feels very spectacular
