Government House
Government House is the official residence of the Governor of
Victoria, located within the Botanical Gardens. The house is built
in the style known as Italianate, and is one of the finest examples
of this type of architecture in Australia. The house was built
during the gold rush and is said to be the grandest house in
Victoria. Tours of the state apartments start from La Trobe's
Cottage (home of Victoria's first Lt Governor, Charles la Trobe) on
the corner of Birdwood Avenue and Dallas Brooks Drive, South
Yarra.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
Opening Times
Visits are by advance booking only, and tours operate
on Mondays and Wednesdays
