Before Stacy's parents left to head home to Canada, we took them on a visit to see the Australian Parliament.
For those whom have visited Canberra, you will know that the Parliament building is one of the main focal points of the city. Being built in only the 1980's (completed in 1988), it has a rather modern design. The building itself was built into Parliament hill, allowing citizens (and visitors alike) to walk on top of it. Many also do not realize that the front architecture is designed to be shaped like a boomerang. If you stand at a distance, you can see this distinct shape.

We completed a guided walking tour of Parliament the day we visited. We were able to see The Great Hall, The House of Representatives, and The Senate. Here are some of the pictures we took that day.
