Canberra is an artificial
city, created because both Sydney and Melbourne aspired
to the position of national capital, so the logical
compromise was to build somewhere new between the two.
Before the decision was taken in 1908 to create the
capital here, Canberra hardly existed. Canberra was
named on 12th March 1913 and construction began soon
after.
