Reviews of The Shine Dome
"The Martian Embassy in Australia maintains and develops relations between Mars and Australia. We represent the Martian Congressional Republic in its relations with the Australian government and present Martian policies to the Australian government and to Australians. We report and explain Australian policies to the Martian Congressional Republic and support Martian interests. We also co-ordinate the political, economic, environmental and commercial activities of the Martian Congressional Republic."
"Nice to come and watch this. Academy of science. A building becomes a heritage list. The building is surrounded by water, and the lights should be very beautiful at night."
"Iconic home of the Australian Academy of Science. Spartan interior with and acoustically designed main room for presentations. The seats are so comfortable it’s hard to stay awake, even during the most enlightening scientific presentation. Great place for events if your looking for a symposium venue. Definitely worth a drive by to see the architecture, even if you’re not a scientist."
"Lovely old cute building! They hold science events here. Lovely lecture space with huge seating. Only consequence is that it doesn't hold that many people due to the large spacious area you get to sit. Events have been catered here and have been enjoyable. Lovely age to the building."
"We had a few events here recently. Really great place. Their theatre is the best.we had a good experience. Staff was very helpful and approachable. I cannot believe that they had a 60th birthday for this place. Really good place"
