Australia did not have a capital city in 1901. The new Federal Parliament met in Melbourne, simply because it was the only city with a building (the Royal Exhibition Building) large enough to house the Parliament. However, Melbourne was never officially awarded the status of "National capital" or even "temporary capital". It was merely the temporary seat of power. Canberra was established as Australia's capital city in 1927, when the first Parliament House was constructed.

The fact was, Melbourne was the only city with a building large enough to house all of Parliament. Canberra is the city listed as Australia's capital, past and present - not Melbourne.
