I'm now standing up from the north shore of the Central Basin of Lake Burley Griffin, directly along the central axis of Parliamentary Triangle (35°17′29.52″S, 149°08′21.22″E) (Google Maps). Looking across the lake, the nearest spot along the water's edge is Commonwealth Place. There is a building under the swoop of lights (35°17′49.78″S, 149°08′03.22″E) (Google Maps); the left side is an art gallery and the right side is a wonderful restaurant, aptly named Waters Edge.
The next building seen is Old Parliament House (35°18′07.86″S, 149°07′47.14″E) (Google Maps), the bright white building. Behind Old Parliament House is the new Parliament House (35°18′29.44″S, 149°07′27.90″E) (Google Maps), atop which is a four-pronged flagpole. This flagpole is 81 meters high and symbolizes the axis mundi, marking the center of the nation.
