Old Parliament House in Canberra, Australia, was first opened on 9 May 1927.
It was opened on the 9th of May 1927. Prior to that the federal parliament sat at Victorias parliament house.
Canberra is a city, so it did not "open" at a particular time. It was officially founded with the turning of the first sod of earth in 1913, and it gradually grew from there. The original Parliament House opened in 1927, but there were people living in Canberra many years before that.
Australia's new Parliament House was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 9 May 1988, the anniversary of the opening of both the first Federal Parliament in Melbourne (9 May 1901), and of the Provisional Parliament House in Canberra (9 May 1927).
