We wanted to visit the parliament building of Tasmania so stopped in for a tour. Our tour guide James was very informative and knowledgeable of both the history of the building and also the history of the Tasmanian parliamentary system. We exchanged information on the Canadian and provincial parliaments and came away with a good understanding of how government works in Tasmania.
