Completed in 1862, Old Government House (OGH) was the home of Queensland’s first 11 Governors. It was the colonial hub of Brisbane, where laws and deals were made, grand balls were held, and Royalty stayed. Today, this beautifully restored sandstone building is a house museum and gallery for all to visit.
