Rather fitting that it visits the birth place of Federation! and Australias
fist Parliamentary home!
Wonder why they decided to do that, I mean assemble Federal Parliament in

We did have an impressive building to do it in...Perhaps Sydney did not, or

perhaps the 'sin' capital of Australia just built Pubs in those
