Unfortunatly, in most of the research that I have found in the past few weeks for the existing parliament house, it seems that the "Australia Flag" is the identity.
"The most striking thing about Parliament House is the 81 metre high flagmast. This is one of the world's largest steel structures and is a central landmark of Canberra".

"The flagmast structure was intended as a sculpture of symbolic significance, in identifying the cardinal point of Griffin’s Parliamentary Triangle, as well as within the totality of the ingenious building concept of Romaldo Giurgola. It towers 75 metres above Parliament and is constructed entirely of stainless steel plate, with a linished finish, providing a changing appearance in the varying patterns of light and weather. The flagmast structure won the Construction Category Award at the 1989 BHP Steel Awards".
This is a starting point to ponder and I will keep on exploring the potential to capture the presence of Australia.
