Parliament House and Gardens
Parliament Gardens, beside Parliament House in Spring St, Melbourne, Victoria.
Parliament House sits on a small hill over the underground springs which gave Spring Street its name. Here on the night of August 21, 1836, Wurundjeri Aborigines performed to the white man for the first time their national dance 'Ngaregee'.
The pavement mosaic features the Rainbow Serpent wallowing its tail symbolising the commencement and completion of the 'Another View' Walking Trail. It is an interpretaion of the painting Ceremony (c. late 1890s) by William Barak the last headman of the Woiworung people.
Getting there: City circle tram or Parliament Station on the City (rail) Loop
