Hi @rachelinej, thank you for troubling to report this. At Parliament House, it is a symbolically important sighting. It looks like you did not get a photo, correct? Without the photo, I am willing to confirm it as just a deer species (there are six species in Australia), but if you did have a photo it would be fantastic. There are only two deer species in this general area, Fallow Deer and Sambar. Contrary to some material on the internet, both are occasionally found within Canberra, and both can have plain brown coats. Fallow are shown with spots in online ID guides but in our area, spots are uncommon. Good features for identifying these two species are their antlers, their tails and rump markings. Sambar have antlers with three tines and they are approximately circular in cross section. Well developed antlers on mature Fallow Deer are flattened. When the antlers are small they are still distinguishable from Sambar, but a bit harder to tell. The tails are also distinctive if you can remember getting a look at that. The antlers are illustrated in a guide here https://www.feralscan.org.au/deerscan/pagecontent.aspx?page=deer_sambardeer (scroll down to link to fallow deer). But to see the rump of a sambar, the first segment of this video is better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej4CzKTmMb8
