Governors of NSW This series is placed to complement the Mount Gary series placed on the adjacent hill across the divided road entrance to Goulburn. Each cache will highlight a NSW Governor, whose fame, or infamy as the case may be, is now part of NSW history.
Major-General Lachlan Macquarie CB 1st January 1810 – 1st December 1821 Macquarie was a British Army officer and colonial administrator from Scotland. He served as the fifth and last autocratic Governor of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821, and had a leading role in the social, economic and architectural development of the colony. He is considered by historians to have had a crucial influence on the transition of New South Wales from a penal colony to a free settlement and therefore to have played a major role in the shaping of Australian society in the early nineteenth century. An inscription on his tomb in Scotland describes him as "The Father of Australia”. Bring a pen. And maybe enjoy a BBQ on the way :)-
