    PARLIAMENT HOUSE: Although it cost a bomb back in the 1980's, I think this is a building that will stand the test of time. It is kind of like a house in the hill, as it is built into the ground - definitely worth a visit for the virgin Canberra tourist. Don't forget to go up to the flag pole on the top, as it has a great panoramic view of Canberra and wide open lawns - I pity the poor person who has to mow it!!
    Great modern architecture - interesting symbolism and designs throughout the building and all that dirt/grass on the roof!

    The House of Parliament
    This was the Highlight of our visit to Canberra. The House of Parliament is a huge building with over 4,000 rooms. The House of Parliament was completed in 1988 and had been the main attraction of Canberra ever since. A excellent free tour is offered that is both educational and historical.

  • Directions: On the hill in the center of Canberra. (You can't miss it!)

    Parliament House was completed in 1988. It is huge, with over 4500 rooms. If you are interested in Politics the free tours are great (and luckily only cover a small portion of the rooms..lol.)
    The building is unusual with lots of intersting features. The gift shop has a great collection of Australian books. On display is one of only 4 copies of the Magna Carta in the world. The view from the roof is great

    Visit the Capital Hill (Parliament House lies *into* it), and the Parliamentary Triangle.
    The Parliament is into a small hill, only part of the building is visible out of the earth. Impressive combination of architecture, monument and nature. You can see the stainless steel flagpole and national flag from almost every place in the city. Picture: Federation Mall (North) side (sorry, I'm just in the middle but is the only picture I have :o)

    PARLIAMENT HOUSE on Capital Hill.

    A very impressive government building that I've came across so far. Built in 1988 & designed by Romaldo Gieurgola at a cost of $1.1 billion (expensive, eh?)!
