Because it is the capital city of the country... Seems a tad significant hey?
Canberra is Australia's capital and largest inland city. Its location was chosen in 1908. Construction of the carefully planned city began in 1913.
The 1930's depression slowed down the construction of the National Capital significantly as there was not much funding available to continue at the speed before the 1930's depression.
Construction of the New Parliament House in Canberra began in 1981. The House was finally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 9 May 1988, the anniversary of the opening of both the first Federal Parliament in Melbourne (9 May 1901), and of the Provisional Parliament House in Canberra (9 May 1927).
Canberra is the capital of Australia. It is known for being an entirely planned city, outside of any state, much like the Washington, DC area of the United States. The design of the city incorporates significant areas of natural vegetation.
