Australia obviously has big cities Sydney and Melbourne. Why is the capital in the small city of Canberra?

Because it is difficult for Australia to choose the capital, and it is not clear whether to choose Sydney or Melbourne, and the two big cities have always been uncompromising when running for the capital, after all, both cities have the ability to be elected, so the Australian government has no choice but to take a compromise, that is, choose a city between Sydney and Melbourne as the capital, so it chooses Canberra as the capital.

Sydney and Melbourne are the largest and most famous cities in Australia. Both cities have discovered gold mines, attracting many people to move to these two cities. Sydney is recognized as one of the top ten most prosperous international metropolises in the world. Its basic measures can be said to be very perfect and economically developed. And Sydney is the most populous city in Australia, so its strength is quite strong. If elected as the capital, it will naturally hold up the scene.

Moreover, Melbourne is not weak, and its population is second only to Sydney. Melbourne's industry is particularly developed and it is the center of industry and culture. If Sydney is the "heart" of Australia, then Melbourne is the "blood" of Australia, so both cities are extremely important. However, the relationship between the two cities is not good. Melbourne is arrogant and Sydney has long been disgusted with Melbourne. So when choosing the capital, both cities refused to give in.

Therefore, no matter which of the two cities Australia chooses, it can't appease the other city, so it can only choose another city as its capital. Canberra is chosen because it has a good development prospect. Located in the middle of two developed cities, it is called "Zuo Qinglong" and "Right White Tiger" in geomantic omen, and its geographical position is very good.
