The White Hat Guide to Parliament House
These impressive buildings were constructed at the height of the Victorian gold rush and have served three different governments. It was home to the parliament of the Colony of Victoria until 1900. With Federation in 1901 it became the seat of Australia's Federal Parliament until that shifted to the newly built Parliament House in Canberra (now 'Old Parliament House'). With the shifting of Australia's seat of parliament to Canberra in 1927, Victoria's State Parliament (which had been sitting at the Exhibition Building since Federation) was able to move in and has remained there since.
Parliament House has one of the most lavish interiors of any public building in Australia. The buildings were designed by Peter Kerr and J.G.Knight, Free tours are available and photographs are allowed.
