Old Parliament House, Canberra - Australia
You will have no problem finding old Parliament House. It has exhibitions and tours at regular intervals. As a kid we all had school excursions to the Parliament House and now school kids visit both old and new.
The house has been very well maintained and I feel a very pretty piece of architecture. It’s in contrast to the super modern and advanced design of new Parliament House. Most famous piece of footage from here is when the Governor General sacked Prime Minister Gogh Withlem and the famous lines - Long May we say god save the queen as nothing will save the Governor General. Well that didn’t work out for him but really a defining piece of film on the steps of the house.
The Aboriginal tent embassy is out front which is just shipping containers. They are friendly as anything and are happy to have a chat to you so give them a bit of love and support.
