A listed heritage architecture of ACT, now the headquarter of Australian Academy of Science. Fine convention and dining facility.
I have driven past this building all my life but only recently went to have a closer look. It is beautifully built and I love the moat around the outside, it looks just like a UFO hovering above a lake, very fitting for Canberra! We did not attend an event, we simply went to look at the building.
We had a few events here recently. Really great place. Their theatre is the best.we had a good experience. Staff was very helpful and approachable. I cannot believe that they had a 60th birthday for this place. Really good place
