Description:
Edmund Barton was Australia’s first prime minister from 1 January 1901 to 24 September 1903.
Governor-General Lord Hopetoun commissioned Barton as Australia’s first Prime Minister on 31 December 1900.
On Tuesday 1 January 1901 Lord Hopetoun proclaimed the Commonwealth of Australia as a federation of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia (these former colonies are now called states), and swore in Barton’s ministry at a huge public Commonwealth inauguration ceremony in Centennial Park, Sydney. A choir of 10,000 sang Advance, Australia Fair, which in 1977 became our national anthem.
