Parliament House in Canberra

Things to do In Canberra Australia’s greatest capital of Australia’s greatest capital territory.

Canberra is a city of 300,000 people most of which work directly or directly for the Federal Government which, as we know, works for all Australians. So if you are Australian, you own this place, you are the boss. Here are some bossy things to do.

The main attraction is the work house (Parliament House) where your representatives slave away making up rules and talking a lot. The original cost of Parliament House was $1.1 billion. For that you get great views / photos from the top of the building of Canberra without Parliament House in them. There are also paintings, marble, comfy chairs and the occasional 'pollie' on a mobile phone.

A thing to do whilst in parliament is to think up ways in which we can get a return on your investment. Selling it to the Chinese or a Parliament Casino are two popular options. Don’t forget to let someone know of your idea before you leave. Times are tough, it might happen.

The Questacon or National Science and Technology Centre is particularly great for kids, adults and everybody in between. Very interactive and engaging. You have to try a few things rather than stand back and watch. It will be fun.

You should also check out the:

Embassy precinct of Yarralumla. Flags, security personal dark windowed limos just wonderful..

Lake Burley Griffin and the Captain Cook Jet.

Australian War Memorial. View the light shows, photos, images, models and stories of Australia's wars against an unfortunately long list of countries.

The new wiz-bang National Museum.

The National Library.

Finally, you might find a visit 'The Lodge', occasional home of Mr Rudd, the Australian Prime Minister's official residence, very stimulating.
