Would be nice if the Aussie members could post pictures of their newest acquisitions on this thread.
I'll start it of with this, I bought it to reside with the normal issue coin and the proof coin that I already have

Trout, click send note to staff and ask if they would consider it. It would be good to have it sticky. Also a noodle find thread would be good.

That is the Austral parliament house which was replaced the old one in 1988. Well worth looking up pictures of it on the Internet because it is a very interesting building!

The coin in the OP shows an overhead view of the new parliament house building; the coin commemorates its opening in 1988. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
