You would travel in a southwesterly direction to go to Melbourne from Canberra.
The most logical direction would be south.
Geelong is located South West of Melbourne.
East-North East.
On the highway, via means to go "by way of". For example, if you are travelling from Sydney to Melbourne, you may ask "How far is it from Sydney to Melbourne via Canberra?", i.e. going through Canberra on the way.
The Canberra bushfires in 2003 started to the south west of the city and moved through the southern suburbs of Canberra, heading towards the coast (eastern Australia).
If you travelled from Tasmania to Canberra, you would need to head north.
There is no direct line from Canberra to Adelaide, you will have to go via Melbourne or Sydney, and which one you choose will change the cost. Try using http://www.railmaps.com.au/stationfinder.php to get an idea of what your options are.
Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, had been rivals since before the goldrush days. It was therefore decided that the nation's capital should be situated between the two cities. A location was chosen which was 248km from Sydney and 483km from Melbourne. It was logical to build the city inland (in an area that had already been partially established), so that it would be directly along the route between Australia's two largest cities. To build Canberra on the coast would have meant businessmen, politicians, diplomats and others wishing to travel between Sydney and Melbourne would, in effect, have to go hundreds of kilometres out of their way in order to travel via the Capital.
