EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment of the Australian Commonwealth inauguration on 1st January 1901. With the coming into force of the Constitution of Australia, the six colonies - New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania - collectively became states of the Commonwealth of Australia. The image showcases the illuminated Sydney post-office, proudly displaying the lettering "Welcome to Our Governor-General, God Save the Queen." This symbolic gesture reflected the country's loyalty to the British monarchy and its commitment to the new political union. The illuminations, a popular form of celebration during this era, added an air of excitement and anticipation to the momentous occasion. This photograph is a testament to an important chapter in Australian history, marking the beginning of a new era of political unity and national identity.
