The Lady Macaulay Stone Chair, located in the Sydney Botanic Gardens, is a stone chair carved by artisans in honor of Lady Macaulay. Mrs. Macaulay's Seat is located on the north side of the Botanic Gardens and is only separated by a narrow bay from the Sydney Opera House. It is a must-see for tourists. Mrs Macaulay's seat is named after Mrs Macaulay, a 17th century Governor's wife. Governor Macaulay had to return to the UK to report on Australia's situation every five years. Due to the long distance and the underdeveloped maritime traffic at that time, it took 28 months for a round trip. Accompanied by his wife, Governor Macaulay has achieved brilliant achievements. Mr. Macaulay is busy with official business every day, and Mrs. Macaulay comes here every day to paint the scenery of Sydney Harbour. Every time Governor Macaulay returns to the UK to report for duty, the lonely Mrs Macaulay is looking forward to it here, waiting for the return of the fleet, bringing kindness to the surrounding people in the day-to-day waiting.
