Dame Marie Bashir AD CVO former NSW Governor & Patron.

 

Parramatta & District Historical Society acknowledges the sad passing of the Honourable Dame Marie Bashir AD CVO, 37TH Governor of NSW.

 

She came to our Society’s 100th anniversary as a Historical Society and also visited Hambledon Cottage in 2004 and 2014 as Patron. She was a lovely lady and made an extraordinary contribution to public life.  

​

On behalf of the Society, we convey our deepest sympathies to her family.  

 

Here at Hambledon, we pride ourselves on an authentic, 19th Century experience. We create and cater to our visitors who wish to gain a grasp on the gracious and lavish lifestyle that John Macarthur's family and friends once lived.

We are closed for the Christmas Break from December 15th and re opening on January 30th, 2026.
