Australia obviously has big cities Sydney and Melbourne, so why is the capital located in the small town of Canberra?

Because Australia has a hard time choosing its capital city. It doesn’t know whether to choose Sydney or Melbourne, and the two big cities have always been competing against each other when running for the capital. After all, they are both capable of being elected, so the Australian government did not The only solution was to adopt a compromise approach, that is, to choose a city between Sydney and Melbourne as the capital, so I chose Canberra, a small city that is about the same distance from the two cities, as the capital.

Sydney and Melbourne are the largest and most famous cities in Australia, and gold mines were discovered in both cities, which attracted many people to move to these two cities. Sydney is recognized as one of the ten most prosperous international metropolises in the world. Sydney's basic measures can be said to be very complete and its economy is also very developed. Moreover, Sydney is the most populous city in Australia, so Sydney's strength is quite strong. If elected, The capital can naturally support the scene.

Melbourne is not weak either. Its population is second only to Sydney, and its industry is particularly developed. It is the center of industry and culture. If Sydney is the "heart" of Australia, then Melbourne is Australia's. "Blood", so both cities are extremely important. However, the relationship between the two cities is not good. Melbourne is arrogant and Sydney has long disliked Melbourne. Therefore, when choosing the capital, neither city refused to make concessions.

So no matter which of the two cities Australia chooses, it cannot appease the other city, so it can only choose another city as its capital. Canberra was chosen because of its development prospects. Very good. It is located between two developed cities. In Feng Shui terms, they are "Blue Dragon on the Left" and "White Tiger on the Right". The geographical location is very good.
