The first sitting of the Australian Federal Parliament was held in the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne which was the only building large enough to house the 14,000 guests. Melbourne was never Australia's capital - just the temporary seat of power. The Parliament was opened by the Duke of Cornwall and York, later King George V, on 9 May 1901.
