Parliament House ACTUpon formation of the Commonwealth of Australia, Parliament initially met in Melbourne. In 1911 the Commonwealth took control of what is now the Australian Capital Territory. In 1927 the first Parliament House was opened. It served as the seat of the Australian Federal Government until May 1988 when Queen Elizabeth II opened the present Parliament House. The picture above shows both Houses with the old one in the foreground from across Lake Burley Griffin. Both Houses are open to the public.
