Mrs. Macquarie's Chair is actually a rock cut into a chair/bench shape on a peninsula that is part of Sydney Harbour and forms part of the Royal Botanic Gardens, at the end of Mrs. Macquarie's Road.
Literally carved in stone.
Mrs Maquarie was the wife of Governor Maquarie. Folklore has it that she used to sit on the rock and watch for ships from England sailing into the harbour.
These are spectacular views from the chair.
I was in Melbourne and Sydney for a friend’s wedding. Beautiful wedding in the park. The bride and groom arrived in a vintage Rolls and the ceremony was accompanied by a string quartet. Reminded me of the scenes from Four Weddings...
I framed up this pair of photos for the newlywed. One of them was on the wall of their apartment (at least the last time when I was there).
