First Fleet House

First Fleet House is a two-storey building, wholly owned by the Fellowship, on an historical site in Woolloomooloo which was once part of a land grant the First Fleeter Commissary John Palmer.
It was purchased in May 1988,  and officially opened by His Excellency, Air Marshall Sir James Rowland, Governor of New South Wales
and Patron of the Fellowship in July 1988.
It contains computerised work stations for our volunteers who are engaged in database, correspondence and research activities. Their work is further supported by a meeting room with an extensive Library which members are encouraged to visit.

First Fleet House is centrally located in Sydney and may readily be reached by train, car or bus.
