Melbourne was in fact the temporary capital of Australia from the start of the Federation in 1901 until Canberra was ready to house the federal government which moved to Canberra in 1927.

They were both in the running to be the capital as they were major population and trade centres, but a locations half way between the two was chosen intead - Hence Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory is the capital.

At the time of Australia's Federation on 1 January 1901, Melbourne was specified as the temporary seat of government and remained the national capital until 1927, when the Federal parliament was moved to the planned city of Canberra. The first Federal parliament was convened on 9 May 1901 in the Royal Exhibition Building.

From wikipedia.

Melbourne was in practice. Sydney too.

Now its officially Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory.

Canberra is such a dry concrete miserable dump, they are planning to spruce it up with astroturf.
