The history of Fernberg

‘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. As a heritage-listed, State-owned residence surrounded by 14 hectares of Estate, it is an important Queensland landmark steeped in historical, cultural and environmental significance.
