Australian Parliament House

Australian Parliament House is a significant building located on Capital Hill in Canberra. The building was opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 9 May 1988 and is one of the largest in the southern hemisphere, with over 4,500 rooms and a floor area of more than 250,000 square meters.

The building replaced the provisional Parliament House, which was in use for 61 years and had become inadequate for the needs of a modern Parliament
