    About this place

    The Federation Centenary Fountain can be found in front of Old Parliament House. They feature paved level pathway approach but unfortunately the heritage-listed fountains are broken & not operational.

    The Fountains were envisaged by Walter Burley Griffin in his plan for Canberra but were not commissioned until 1968. They were refurbished between 1997 & 2000 but from 2000 to 2013 only operated intermittently, ceasing completely in 2014.

    Accessible toilets can be found at the Museum of Australia, Old Parliament House Rose Gardens & Treasury Building.

    Accessible parking can be found at Questacon, Car park 23, 31, 19 & National Gallery of Australia.
