Lonely Planet review

The venerable Old Parliament House was the seat of government from 1927 to 1988 and is a great place to get a whiff of bygone parliamentary activity, be it peering through the spyhole into the prime minister's office, re-acquainting yourself with the 1975 dismissal, silently addressing the House of Representatives, or buying your own Hansard bookend from the gift shop. There are free guided tours, or pick up the Self-Guided Tour brochure.
