A night at the Macarthurs at Elizabeth Farm
As night falls on Dharug Country, at Elizabeth Farm the curtains are drawn, the dining table is set and the fire has been lit in the Macarthurs’ Drawing Room.
Start with tea or a coffee around a small campfire before joining us for an intimate look at life in Australia’s oldest house. You will be invited behind-the-scenes to look at some of the original structures of the roof, the cellar below the colonial kitchen and the Servant's Quarters restored by the Swan family.
