Talk:Canberra

"The site of Canberra was selected for the location of the nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's two largest cities."

Same with Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal, wasn't it? What's with these Commonwealth sorts?

Then again, we created a capital ex nihilo when we had several perfectly good established cities from which to choose. Turtle Fan 20:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
