Goverment House, Melbourne

January 26th, 2008 - 7:33pm

Goverment House, Melbourne is only open to the Public one day a year. The line to enter last year was too long but this year we managed to visit.

The interior is quite splendid, as you can see here. The Governor was walking the grounds as well.

I took some other shots of a similarly old building — Stonington Mansion — in Melbourne about 18 months ago, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

The open second floor here really reminded me of when I toured Stonington Mansion a while back. As it happens, some of the items in Stonington Mansion were on loan from Government House, including a one-off Italian leather couch. I forgot to look for any of these items today, though.
