Australian Government – Photo Gallery

Home of the Victorian State Government, Parliament House is situated in Spring Street Melbourne. This beautiful building was built with the rich proceeds derived at the height of the gold rush in the Victorian goldfields of Bendigo and Ballarat. This foundation in gold is reflected in the magnificent finish in gold leaf found throughout the building.
