Rival rallies involving Reclaim Australia protesters and anti-racism supporters in Canberra have ended peacefully.

There were plenty of fiery exchanges between the groups on the lawns outside Parliament House on Sunday, but no physical clashes or arrests were reported.

About 200 people from each side attended the rallies, separated by metal barricades and police.

Several speakers representing Reclaim Australia addressed the crowd, leading chants including "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" and "everyone is welcome, Sharia is not".

The counter-rally, organised by the Canberra Anti-Racism Network, included members of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.
