Contrails

G'day

Can someone please tell me why you would see more contrails produced by aircraft over flying Canberra than you would see in Perth, even though they are most likely at a similar height. (Obviously contrails rely on relative humidity which I wouldn't have thought would be higher over Canberra than Perth). I'm not sure if this makes any difference that Canberra is roughly 1800+ft above sea level and inland, compared to Perth that is only approximately 100+ft above sea level and close to the coast.
