Best Answer

Canberra has always been Australia's capital. Prior to Canberra, Melbourne was the city where the Parliament met, simply because it was the only city in Australia with a building large enough to house the Parliament.

There is a misconception that Melbourne was Australia's first capitaly city, but it never was.
