This fine architectural example sits among the capital's elite on Parkes Place, along the shore of Lake Burley Griffin. The elongated windows of the seven-story public hall reflect the sky above while the series of waterfalls along the main entry suggest that the visitor consider the role of law and order as a natural phenomenon; like the elements that surround us. Australia's judicial system can be viewed here first hand. A video room, extensive murals and the three courtrooms all help convey the important decisions made within these walls.
