Explore the shadows of history at Old Government House, Parramatta… Australia’s oldest surviving public building.
Built by convicts between 1799 and 1818, these grand halls once welcomed governors, military officers, social elites and some of the most influential figures in early colonial Australia. Beneath the elegance and wealth, however, lies a darker story… one of heartbreak, tragedy, death and lingering mystery.
By day, Old Government House is a breathtaking piece of Australian history. But after dark, the atmosphere changes completely.
Join APPI Ghost Hunts & Tours for an unforgettable night inside this UNESCO World Heritage-listed location. Wander through candlelit corridors, hear the true stories of those who lived and died here, and experience the strange activity that continues to be reported within these walls.
Choose your experience:
1. Ghost Tour – uncover the chilling history and hauntings of the house
2. Interactive Ghost Hunt – take part in paranormal experiments and investigations
3. Or experience both for the ultimate night inside one of Australia’s most haunted historic locations
Will you hear footsteps in the corridors?
A whisper in the darkness?
Or something waiting just beyond the candlelight…
