Canberra is not named the Australian Capital Territory. Canberra is Australia's federal capital, and it lies within the territory of the ACT, or Australian Capital Territory. The NSW government ceded land for the new Australian Capital Territory to the Commonwealth Government, and the Australian Capital Territory was founded on 1 January 1911. Australia's capital could not be either of the two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, as the two cities had been rivals since before the goldrush days. It was therefore decided that the nation's capital should be situated between the two cities. A location was chosen which was 248km from Sydney and 483km from Melbourne, within easy access of both cities.
Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, was named after Queen Adelaide.
The only Australian capital city starting with 'm' is Melbourne, capital of Victoria.
The Australian Capital Territory does not have a capital.Australia's national capital is Canberra, and the Australian Capital Territory was created purely to be the site for the nation's capital. Although Canberra is within the ACT, it is not the "capital" of the ACT, as the territory itself is all federal Capital territory.
No. Many Canberra suburbs are named after former Australian Prime Ministers, but even the Canberra suburb of Fraser is not named after Malcolm Fraser. It is named after James Reay Fraser, Member of the Australian House of Representatives for the Australian Capital Territory from 1951 to 1970 and Vice Chairman of the Joint Committee of the Australian Capital Territory from 1959 to 1970.
The State Capital cities are Adelaide (South Australia); Sydney (New South Wales); Perth (Western Australia); Darwin (Northern Territory); Brisbane (Queensland); Hobart (Tasmania) and Canberra is the capital city of the Australian Capital Territory and the capital of Australia.
