It's a bit of a hassle to go in through the security scans, but Parliament House Sydney is where our politicians work, and where parliament sits. It's an interesting building, and worth a peek if you have time as you meander down Macquarie Street. More

I went here and spent an hour walking around. As someone who is interested in politics it was nice to go in and have a look where the New South Wales Parliament is and what it was like inside. There isn't a great deal to do however so you'd be in here an hour maximum I think. More

This picture is not Sydney's parliament house. It is the museum of modern art. The parliament house for New South Wales is an interesting building if you wish to see one of the earliest of its type in Australia. The 'Bull Pit' Legislature is interesting to watch in Action especially if you are interested both in History and current politics. More

NSW Parliament House always appears glooming on the inside and not very impressive from the outside. Canberra's Commonwealth Parliament House is decidedly better. More
