Fernberg Estate
The heritage‑listed gardens and grounds of Fernberg, the official residence of Queensland Governors since 1910, are of significant historical, cultural and environmental value. Encompassing 16.3 hectares of remnant bushland and formal gardens, the grounds support the many functions of Government House and feature trees and plantings of historical and botanical significance.
‘Fernberg’ was one of the first houses built in Brisbane’s Paddington area, by merchant Johann Heussler in 1865. Since 1910, the estate has been the home and workplace of Queensland Governors.
