Lachlan Macquarie Room

Another special feature in the Library is the Lachlan Macquarie Room, which provides a unique historical link between Macquarie University and its namesake, Lachlan Macquarie, the fifth British governor of New South Wales. The Lachlan Macquarie Room is showcased inside the entrance to the Library.

The Room is of the original ground floor parlour room from Lachlan Macquarie's home on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. It includes all the original timber panelling, doors, windows, alcoves, shutters, and fireplae dating from the 1820s
