Walk too fast and you might miss the home of Adelaide’s ‘establishment’ on North Terrace.

Building of the first section of Government House began in 1839. Prior to this, the Governor John Hindmarsh, and then his successor George Gawler, lived in a three-roomed wattle and daub cottage with calico ceiling.

Parliament House is open to the public and gives visitors the chance to explore one of the city's most impressive buildings while learning about the political past, present and future of the region and Australia.
