1927 - Federal parliament moves from Melbourne to Canberra.

In 1927, Australia's federal parliament officially moved from Melbourne to Canberra, the newly built capital city.

This move was made to allow the federal government to be closer to the geographic centre of the country.

The process of relocating the federal parliament to Canberra began in 1908 when the Seat of Government Act was passed.

Construction of the new capital city began in 1913 and was completed in 1927 with the opening of the Provisional Parliament House.

In the same year, the first federal parliament session was held in Canberra.

The official opening of Parliament House was held in May 1927, with the Duke and Duchess of York attending the opening ceremony.

This move was an important step in the development of Canberra as Australia's national capital.
