Etwas anderes kann für die dort angegebenen Quellen gelten, muss es aber nicht.
In der Verfassung Australiens von 1901 wird Melbourne nicht Hauptstadt (capital), sondern Regierungssitz (Seat of Parliament) genannt.
btw:
Canberra became the capital city of Australia in 1927.
From 1901 to 1927, the Australian Parliament met in Parliament House, Melbourne, which it borrowed from the parliament of the state of Victoria, which in turn sat in the Exhibition Building. However, Melbourne was never the capital city of Australia.
The Yass area had actually been settled as far back as the 1820s. Once it was decided that Australia's capital would be neither Melbourne nor Sydney, the Federal Capital Territory was founded, on 1 January 1911, in the Yass-Canberra district. The competition to design Australia's new capital city, Canberra, was won in 1911 by Walter Burley Griffin and the first survey peg marking the beginning of the development of the city of Canberra was driven in on 20 February 1913. On 9 May 1927, Parliament moved to the new national capital at Canberra, where it met in what is now called Old Parliament House.
