Ask a dozen Canberrans to name our city's most enduring icons and you'll probably get a dozen different answers. That's because Canberra's best-loved landmarks aren't always the biggest or the most photographed. Sometimes they're simply the places that make us smile and think, "Yep ... I'm home."
If Canberra had a family photo album, Old Parliament House would be on the cover. Elegant, understated and unmistakably Australian, the grand old lady has watched the national capital grow. With its distinctive Inter-War Stripped Classical architecture and subtle Masonic influences, it's the heart and soul of Canberra.
