This is a guided tour of our Parliament House in Canberra, Australia

The New Parliament house was built in 1988 because the Old Parliament house was built as a temporary Government House.

This is called the Representatives Garden. When the members are in parliament and not in the chambers, they can eat, drink, communicate, work and relax in these gardens.
This is the foyer of Parliament House. It is made of Italian marble. In this marble there are many fossils of different animals and sea creatures. On the ground are different shapes in two colours, black and white all these are symmetrical.

This is a picture of the high flag which flies on top of Parliament House. The flag is the size of a double decker bus from the side view.
This is a picture of some students looking for fossils on the Foyer floor of Parliament House. There are fossils such as crabs, fish and shells.

Schools can come into the room and learn and act out about how government works. It 's supposed to be the House of Representatives.
The Great Hall has a tapestry literally covering the whole wall. It is showing the Australian bush and has numerous Australian animals on it such as a kangaroo and cockatoo. There is also a koala, a picture of Halley's comet and a rosella.
