High Commission of Papua New Guinea

One of the most interesting embassies in Canberra, the High Commission of Papua New Guinea building is based on the design of a Haus Tambaran, a traditional spirit house from the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea. Its elaborately painted roofs are a sight to behold.
