Why was Canberra not built on the coast?
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.
Why are all the capital cities except Canberra located in coastal areas?
