Autumn Courtyard Tours

Ablaze with vibrant reds and yellows, come explore the private courtyard gardens of Australian Parliament House this Autumn. 

As you stroll under the golden leaves, journey through multiple courtyard gardens, each with their own identify formed through sculpture, scale, plant selection, and colour. Discover how the species selection and design have been cultivated to complement the architecture of the House and serve its busy inhabitants.  

Led by a friendly guide, this private walking tour is a rare opportunity to see the spectacular Autumn colours in courtyards not normally open to the public.  

Bookings are essential so secure your spot early to avoid missing out. 

Why not enhance your tour experience by adding a refreshment package to your ticket? This includes a discount on scone and hot beverage of your choice at the Queen’s Terrace Café.
