Canberra exists because of a genuine compromise, not an obvious choice. When the Australian colonies federated in 1901, neither Sydney nor Melbourne — the two largest and most established cities — would accept the other as the national capital, so the new constitution required a purpose-built capital be established in New South Wales, at least 100 miles from Sydney. An international design competition drew more than 130 entries, and in May 1912 the government announced that American architect Walter Burley Griffin, working with his wife and design partner Marion Mahony Griffin, had won with a plan centred on an ornamental lake and a triangular layout linking Mount Ainslie, Capital Hill and the city's central axis.
The city was formally named on 12 March 1913, when Lady Denman, wife of the Governor-General, announced "Canberra" at a foundation ceremony — but federal parliament itself didn't actually sit in the new city until 9 May 1927, when it moved out of its temporary home in Melbourne and into Canberra's first (now "Old") Parliament House.
The Australian War Memorial, one of this tour's real stops, has its own significant history: formally established by federal legislation in 1925 but delayed through the Depression years, it finally opened to the public on Remembrance Day, 11 November 1941 — coincidentally in the middle of the Second World War, having originally been conceived to commemorate the First.
