An integral part of Canberra's history, this original seat of power is a wonderful step back in time. The self-guided tour takes 45 minutes and is a great way to see the building. The National Portrait Gallery is located on the top floor at the far end of Kings Hall. An impressive room, the hall was considered modern for its time and was the meeting place for House and Senate members. Mount Ainslie can be viewed across the waters of Lake Burley Griffin as well as other significant sites along Anzac Parade--the main axis of this impressive, planned capital city.ily AUD5.
