About the tour
Bursting with colour and fragrance, come and explore the private courtyard gardens of Australian Parliament House this Spring.
Parliament House, the seat of Australia's democracy, is a masterpiece of architecture and landscape design. As you journey around the springtime blooms, you will stroll through multiple courtyard gardens, each with their own identity formed through sculpture, scale, plant selection, and colour. Discover how the species selection and design have been cultivated to complement the architecture of Parliament House and serve its busy inhabitants.
Led by a friendly guide, this private walking tour is a rare opportunity to see the beautiful blooming flowers in courtyards not normally open to the public.
