Madaline Houses of Parliament

The Madaline Houses of Parliament or New Houses of Parliament, more commonly referred to as the Madaline Corn Exchange or The Exchange, after its historic usage, is the seat of the Provisional Assembly of Berringsland and the meeting place designated for the Parliament of Berringsland. In historic times, it was the prime commercial hub of Norfolk Island, with traders conducting their business there, shipping in the harbour. The building's conversion to a House of Parliament has been somewhat makeshift, with surrounding storehouses and other buildings also forming part of the larger complex. The

Exchange's clock, previously chiming to mark the start of trading, is now used to announce divisions and can be heard across the town.
