Great experience looking at the different chambers and their descriptions. Sadly, we didn't see the PM in a meeting, but the tour was awesome. Got to actually sit in the visitors chairs. Awesome!!

Parliament House, Canberra
Time Out says
A trip to Parliament House is obviously a must while you’re in town, but visitors are often surprised to learn there’s a lot more to do than simply listen in to Question Time. Visitors are welcome to freely explore all public areas and watch our robust government in action from the galleries on sitting days. Join the ‘Best of Parliament House’ tour to see visitor favourites, including the towering flagpole and Great Hall Tapestry, or check out the Lego Parliament House, which took artist Ryan ‘Brickman’ McNaught 740 hours – or almost 31 days – to build.
Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.
