Parliament House Melbourne is one of Australia's oldest and most architecturally distinguished public buildings. Building commenced in 1856 at the height of the gold rush and this is reflected in the lavish use of gold in the interior decoration. Centrally located at the eastern end of Bourke Street, its imposing colonnade, broad sweeping steps and elegant lamps provide a fitting entrance to the centre of democracy in Victoria. See the Parliament of Victoria website for more on Parliament.
