To play pranks on the aide-de-camp and pester the staff 'downstairs'. To watch your father - The Governor - tensely taking his leave of the Premier, Jack Lang, whom he had just dismissed from office. Rosemary Harmer - the daughter of Sir Philip Game, Governor of New South Wales from 1930 to 1935 - was eleven years old when the family sailed out from England in 1930. her childhood experiences at Government House made a vivid and lasting impression on her, and more than half a century later she has written her reminiscences of those memorable and colourful times. She recalls the official ceremonies, the dinner parties and charity fetes, the famous visitors who came to stay - the aviatrix Amy Johnson, the concert pianist Mark Hambourg, the Baden-Powells, Flynn of the Inland. She describes the drama and spectacle of the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the country tours in their private railway carriage and holidays at Moss Vale and Lord Howe Island - and also the unemployed camped in tents and under rocks in the Domain and the bitter events that led up to the dismissal of the Pemier. All are seen not only through the eyes of an observant and lively young girl but also, by the use of extracts from diaries and letters, through the eyes of both her parents.
