In canberra we have parliament house, funnily enough. courtesy of walter burley griffin's design, the parliamentary circle is a central point for a lovely, well designed city.

One of the roads leading from the south side of the lake towards APH is yarra glen. As You drive along it, you come around a bend, up a slight rise and next thing you see is a couple of km away, the australian flag flying atop APH. Its a glorious view.

The only thing better is driving towards APH from the War Memorial, shown here. I get to drive down Anzac parade to this view every morning on my way to work.

My point is, every time i see these 2 sights, my stomach does a little dance. I dont hold many if any views that we're a superior nation etc., but it certainly tickles my pickle!!!!!
