Author(s): Mayer Doug

Canberra

In Images in Stone, Dr Wolf Mayer takes readers on an engaging tour of Parliament House, including those parts not open to the public, such as the Prime Minister’s suite. With authority and enthusiasm he points out numerous interesting and artistic features in the stonework and also reveals some surprising details. A section on rock formation, quarrying and processing concludes this lavishly illustrated and informative publication. 


This guide leads you through the many and varied rocks that were utilised in the construction of the nation’s most significant building. It leads you through the use of imported and local stone, their features (including fossils) and their locations in the House and some of the quarrying and production methods.
