Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
The Fire and Water Sculpture sits at Parkes in Canberra, within the capital's Parliamentary precinct near the lake. With 9 reviews behind its 4.4 rating, it's a well-regarded landmark.
The appeal is a distinctive piece of public art in a grand setting — the Fire and Water Sculpture, a striking landmark for a photo, a pause and a moment of art amid the national institutions and lakeside surrounds of Canberra's Parliamentary Triangle. It's a lovely, free stop.
Public artworks and their surrounds have changing conditions and seasonal considerations, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your camera, and make a day of the national attractions nearby.
