EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The First Federal Parliament of the Australasian Commonwealth" captures a historic moment in time. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases the grandeur and significance of the occasion. The image transports us back to April 2nd, 1901, when Australia's federal parliament was inaugurated with great pomp and ceremony. The scene unfolds on Collins Street in Melbourne, where a vibrant procession makes its way towards the town hall. The streets are lined with eager spectators as they witness history being made. At the heart of it all is Lord Hopetoun, Australia's first Governor-General, who takes center stage amidst this momentous event. His arrival marks a new era for Australia as it becomes part of the Australasian Commonwealth. Every detail captured in this photograph speaks volumes about the magnitude of this occasion. From the elaborate ceremonial attire worn by attendees to the palpable excitement radiating from every face present – it is clear that this is a day etched into history. Preserved within this print lies not just a mere snapshot but an invaluable piece of Australian heritage. It serves as a testament to unity and progress as diverse communities come together under one federal parliament. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded of our shared past and inspired to continue building upon those foundations for generations to come.
