And of course today is also the 124th anniversary of Parliament moving into it's new home in Canberra.
The session at the exhibition Centre on 9/5/1901 was only the official opening. Subsequent sittings were held in Victoria's Parliament house.

Actually Federal Parliament sat in Melbourne until 1927. It then moved to Canberra.
