Parliament House is situated on Capital Hill, south of Lake Burley Griffin. Built in 1988 at a cost of $1.1 billion, at the time of construction, it was the most expensive building in the Southern Hemisphere. Large areas of Parliament House, including the House of Representatives, and The Senate, are open to the public. We were so impressed with Parliament House that we decided to go back the next day and attend a Question Time session in the House of Representatives and observe our country’s leaders at work (or play).
