I'm 12 and I went there for school camp. Most of the people in my group hated it but I was really interested how government works. Unfortunately parliament wasn't sitting so we didn't get to see them pass bills or debate. First we went to the house of representatives. It looked really nice with the green. Currently there are 71... More

We only visited the outside of Parliament. Stunning building, massive and beautiful. It was at night and everything was shut down, but the Federal Police were there, friendly and helpful, and cheerfully took our picture. What nice guys! More

Not a great place to visit but interesting never the less. Looks good from the outside and inside is just as impressive.

They invited me to suggest mobility scooters on their Feedback forms,... More
