Bishopscourt has been the residence of all the Anglican Bishops and Archbishops of Melbourne since 1853. The house is the oldest in East Melbourne, and the estate is the oldest in the City of Melbourne. The house and garden are both included on the Victorian Heritage Register, with eighteen trees recorded on the citation. The majestic Red River Gum, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, later known as the “Corroboree Tree”, was estimated by Baron von Müller to have been a sapling in 1549. On arrival, we will be ushered into the house and enjoy morning tea and coffee. Then we will have a tour of the house and the spacious, beautiful garden. Bring walking shoes, drink bottle and rain jacket. Requires 20 tickets sold for the tour to proceed, confirmation on 21 April 2026.
