A Capital Chosen to Settle an Argument

Canberra exists because Sydney and Melbourne could not agree which should be the capital, so in 1908 a site roughly between them was chosen. The design was won in an international competition by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin in 1912.

The clock: Canberra keeps UTC+10 and observes daylight saving, unlike Brisbane 900 km north on the same base offset.
