What travelers say:

Mrs McAuliffe's seat (Mrs Macquarie's Chair) is carved on a large exposed sandstone on a peninsula at the northeast end of the Sydney Royal Botanic Garden (Royal Botanic Gardens) in downtown Sydney, the capital of NSW. The peninsula itself is named Mrs McAuliffe's Cape (Mrs Macquarie's Point). The Madame McAuley seat is not actually a chair, but an open-air rock carved into the shape of a chair, with three steps, in memory of Madame McAuley carved by a craftsman in 1810.

Mrs Macquarie's Chair Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

The Lady Macaulay Stone Chair, located in the Sydney Botanic Gardens, is a stone chair carved by artisans in honor of Lady Macaulay. Mrs. Macaulay's Seat is located on the north side of the Botanic Gardens and is only separated by a narrow bay from the Sydney Opera House. It is a must-see for tourists. Mrs Macaulay's seat is named after Mrs Macaulay, a 17th century Governor's wife. Governor Macaulay had to return to the UK to report on Australia's situation every five years. Due to the long distance and the underdeveloped maritime traffic at that time, it took 28 months for a round trip. Accompanied by his wife, Governor Macaulay has achieved brilliant achievements. Mr. Macaulay is busy with official business every day, and Mrs. Macaulay comes here every day to paint the scenery of Sydney Harbour. Every time Governor Macaulay returns to the UK to report for duty, the lonely Mrs Macaulay is looking forward to it here, waiting for the return of the fleet, bringing kindness to the surrounding people in the day-to-day waiting.

Mrs. McAuliffe's seat, as one of the best scenery to see the sea, the bridge and the theater, is a wise move to join the Sydney itinerary. I think Mrs. McAuliffe, choose here to watch her husband's boat return, by the way, look at the scenery and relax in a daze, the choice is very good! Walking to Mrs. McCorley's seat, looking at the sea view, did not feel that the road is far away, if the time is right, the sunset is scattered on the sea, it is even more beautiful!

Mrs McAuliffe's seat (Mrs Macquarie's Chair) is carved on a large exposed sandstone on a peninsula at the northeast end of the Sydney Royal Botanic Garden (Royal Botanic Gardens) in downtown Sydney, the capital of NSW. The peninsula itself is named Mrs McAuliffe's Cape (Mrs Macquarie's Point). Mrs McAuley's seat is known for its excellent location and good view. It is only a narrow bay separated from the Sydney Opera House (Sydney Opera House), which is the best location to enjoy and shoot the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge (Sydney Harbour Bridge). Many postcards are taken from this angle. The place where the net red punches in.

Excellent

Hand carved piece of sandstone in the Domain but what's notable is the area surrounding it which has beautiful views of Sydney harbor and is a great place to enjoy the sunset.
