Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is named after Elizabeth Henrietta Macquarie, the wife of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, who ruled New South Wales from 1810 to 1821. It’s a carved stone chair that overlooks Sydney’s beautiful bay. It is located at Mrs Macquarie’s Point, right close to the Royal Botanic Gardens, and is a famous vantage point for the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. This place is best visited around sunset to photograph the sun setting on the horizon over the bay, giving the city a stylish and lovely appearance.
