Three volunteers greeted our group at the concierge, who accompanied us into the house for morning tea and showed us a videotape that gave us an insight into the history of the house. Then we visited the house and gardens and spent about two hours before leaving, then met with the Governor.
Brisbane Open Day weekend was cold and humid, but that didn’t stop us from booking a trip to Government House. The building was grand and low-key and it felt very warm. The Governor personally greeted each tour group, which was great. Our guide explained the history of the building, it was a history of various residents as well as many items, furniture and functions in the room. We were allowed to take any photos we wanted and enjoyed our visit very much. I would recommend anyone interested in Brisbane and its history to visit. Set aside enough time to get there. There is no public transport at the door and parking spaces are very limited. We parked our car in the city and then took Uber to the building, and when he put us at the door, it worked well.
The Old Governor's House, a Victorian building built between 1860 and 1862, is one of Brisbane's most famous historical sites and the best window into Queensland's early colonial history. The old Governor's Mansion is not far from the CBD in the city center, and it is just off George Street from the city center. It is next to the City Botanical Garden and is located on the Queensland University of Technology Garden Corner campus. If you walk from Southbank Park, you can also reach it through the Good Luck Bridge. The Old Governor's House is not only a long history story, but also the invention of the famous Australian Laminton cake. It is close to the Botanic Garden and the Queensland University of Technology, and is completely free to visit, making it a great place for visitors to learn about Brisbane.
There are not many interiors for tourists to visit, just take a photo of the building. The visitor consultation center is on the first floor of the building. At first glance, it still feels extremely spectacular.
