Australia House is a prominent, Grade II listed building located on The Strand in London. It is the home of the High Commission of Australia, the diplomatic mission of Australia in the UK. It opened on 3 August 1918, just over a hundred years ago, and this opportunity is taken to commemorate this building through the remarkable stones used in its construction.
