Leave a floral tribute at Government House
The Royal Family has noted that instead of leaving floral tributes, Australians may wish to consider donating to a charity of choice.
If you wish to leave a floral tribute, you may do so near the gates of Government House Sydney, at Parade Ground inside the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. This location was chosen because Government House Sydney is the home of the Governor of NSW, the sovereign’s official representative in NSW.
The gates of Royal Botanic Garden Sydney will be kept open until 6pm.
There are very strict protocols around the types of flowers and bouquets that can be brought into the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney precinct. See the NSW Government website for details.
