Not a fan of having a UK queen's rep in australia. Great gardens though which are sometimes opened to public at lunch time. Concerts in the ballroom usually good.

Unfortunately entry to public is restricted to special occasions a couple of times a year. Plenty of photo vantage point though. Gardens are very nice.
