Travel to Kingston for an early morning walk to Hunters Point to watch the Sunrise on the Historic Windmill Ruins, then take a circular route along Cemetery Bay to Quality Row, pass Government House and walk across Government Reserve, before enjoying a hearty breakfast at the Parish Centre. The original plan was for a Bushwalk and a Barbeque Breakfast on the Clifftop, but schedule had to be changed due to heavy rain overnight.

Many alterations were carried out after 1856 but the exterior was returned to its Second Settlement form in the 1970's. After 1896 it housed the Island's magistrates and since 1913 has been home to successive administrators.
