Canberra has never been "destroyed", but it has been badly damaged. The Canberra bushfires of 2003 caused severe damage to the outskirts of Canberra. Almost 70% of the Australian Capital Territory's pasture, forest and nature parks were severly damaged, and most of the renowned Mount Stromlo Observatory was destroyed. After burning for a week around the edges of the ACT, the fires entered the suburbs of canberra on 18 January 2003.

Was Parliament house always in Canberra?

Parliament House has only ever been in Canberra, but Parliament has not only ever met in Canberra. At Federation, on 1 January 1901, Canberra did not exist as a city or even a town, and it was only surveyed in 1913. The first Australian Parliament following Federation of the states met on 9 May 1901 in the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne. From 1901 to 1927, Parliament met in Parliament House, Melbourne, which it borrowed from the parliament of the state of Victoria, which in turn sat in the Exhibition Building. On 9 May 1927, Parliament moved to the new national capital at Canberra, where it met in what is now called Old Parliament House.
