These pictures i took using my Canon EOS 400D, using Canon EF 28-135 IS USM
Mrs. Macquarie chair is one of my favorite spot for photography in Sydney. You can see 3 things at once, the beautiful city high rise buildings with the famous AMP tower, you can see the opera house and the harbour bridge in the angle that is so perfect for taking photos. This is the spot that i always take all my friends and relatives who come from other state or overseas, it's a must.

Mrs. Macquarie's chair (according to wikipedia) is is an exposed sandstone rock cut into the shape of a bench, on a peninsula in Sydney Harbour. The peninsula itself is named Mrs Macquarie's Point. It is part of the Royal Botanic Gardens, at the end of Mrs Macquarie's Road.

Mrs Macquarie was the wife of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, Governor of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821. Folklore has it that she used to sit on the rock and watch for ships from England sailing into the harbour.

The peninsula sits between the Garden Island peninsula to the east and Bennelong Point (where the Sydney Opera House resides) to the west. The chair itself faces north-east towards Fort Denison and the Pacific Ocean. The area around it on Mrs Macquarie's Point is a popular lookout position for the view to the north-west of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
