Strictly speaking, Canberra is neither in New South Wales nor Victoria. It lies within the Australian Capital Territory, a quite separate territory from any of the states. However, the ACT is a territory completely encompassed by NSW, utilising territory ceded by NSW for the purpose of a federal capital in 1911.
