My first visit to the nation's Parliament and I was super impressed and excited. Very friendly and helpful staff to guide, direct and show us around. Security checks though understandably very stringent and numerous were easy and stress free and hassle free.

Sat in for question time in the house of representatives and that was a real treat seeing the pollies and democracy at work first hand.

Lots of exhibits and displays everywhere and titbits of interesting information about Australian political history and impressive portraits of past Prime Ministers. As an architecture buff loved both the inside and outside of the beautiful and elegant Parliament building. Minimalist, simple yet so functional and efficient. A must visit for anyone coming to Canberra.
