Vista

We've made it up onto the verandah/porch of Old Parliament House, and this is the view looking back across the lawns to the lake and Mount Ainslie. On the left you can see the Aboriginal Tent Embassy (more on that later), and in the distance, at the end of the red gravel that runs up the centre of Anzac Parade, is the Australian War Memorial. The pool in the middle ground (and the two narrower pools either side of it) is the Federation of Centenary Fountains complex, and the green space beyond that (past the line of cars) is Commonwealth Place and Reconciliation Place.
