Stanley Action Pack

This outdoor adventure Stanley Action Pack will get you exploring the grounds of Old Parliament House in search of the one and only Stanley, the Superb Blue Wren, and his feathered friends. You will receive a safari hat, binoculars, magnifying glasses and the opportunity to note your observations of Stanley and his friends in our collaborative bird-watching journal. Stanley is hiding out there somewhere; do you have what it takes to find him?

Press Gang Action Pack

The Press Gang Action Pack sends you hot on the heels of a breaking news story as you step back in time to a world of typewriters and shorthand. You will catch a glimpse of what it was like to be a reporter inside at Old Parliament House. Grab your microphone; the next leak might only be seconds away.
