Did anyone bother telling NSW and Victoria it was about trees not football vs rugby or which state should have the capital city.
For those overseas, NSW and VIC compete on many matters.
When Australia wanted to have it's own capital city they argued so bad that between the two states they created ACT (Australia Capital Territory) and built a new city called Canberra to be our capital. The arguing hasn't stopped though and it's been over 100 years.
And yes, Canberra is the capital of Australia not Melbourne or Sydney.
Also, being a new planned city not some uncontrolled urban sprawl Canberra was designed with streets doing around in a large circle .... I have often said people are like the cities they come from hence why politicians talk in circles, Victorian's a little square and Sydneysiders a bit mixed up but determined to get there (eventually, just head south to go east).
Me, I come from Adelaide, planned city built by Colonel Light and the only state that wasn't founded on the back of a penal colony.
All the crims mainly went to Tassy, Sydney and Melbourne (cant you tell. LOL
)
