Mrs Macquarie's Chair (also known as Lady Macquarie's Chair[1]) is an exposed sandstone rock cut into the shape of a bench, on a peninsula in Sydney Harbour. It was hand carved by convicts in 1810, for Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, Governor of New South Wales. The peninsula itself was known to the Gadigal as Yurong Point,[2][3] and is now widely known as Mrs Macquarie's Point, and is part of The Domain, near the Royal Botanic Gardens.[4][5]
