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.

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.

Australia's capital city, Canberra, lies within the Australian Capital Territory. The ACT in turn is surrounded by the state of New South Wales.

Australia did not have a capital city in 1901. Discussions were held to decide on a capital, and after numerous sites were selected as possibilities, votes were taken each time the government changed - which was regularly in the early years. The vote changed from one site to another in 1904, 1905 and 1908. It was only in October 1908 that the Canberra site was officially identified as the location for the new Federal capital.

Canberra is situated near the Brindabella Ranges and its altitude ranges from 550 metres to 700 metres. Therefore, its main landforms are hills. The highest point is Mount Majura at 888 metres (2,913 ft). Other large hills include Mt Taylor, Mt Ainslie, Mt Mugga Mugga and Black Mountain. Canberra itself lies within grasslands, called the Canberra Basin. Lake George (which is near, not in, Canberra) is on a Fault. The Molonglo River flows through Canberra.

The Northern Territory does not have a premier. The Chief Minister of the Northern Territory holds a similar position to that of the state premier. The first Chief Minister was Paul Everingham.

There are two theories as to how Canberra got its name.

The first settler in the Canberra region - then known as Limestone Plains - was Joshua John Moore who took up land in the area in 1824, naming it Canberry. He took this name after hearing the local indigenous people use the word Kamberra when they conversed, referring to the site as a "meeting place".

When the site was chosen for the nation's capital, it was to be the "meeting place" for the political parties and the people. Hence, the name Canberra was chosen.

However, more recent evidence suggests it may actually be a corruption of the indigenous word "ngambri", taken from the aboriginal people of the same name, who referred to the Ngambri area as their country. There have been suggestions that this word possibly means "a woman's cleavage", referring to the way the area is surrounded by hills.

Canberra is a city of extremes. Winters are very cold, and oil heaters or fireplaces an absolute necessity. However, there are several weeks in the middle of summer when the climate is dry, with temperatures extremely hot. At other tims of the year, Canberra weather is quite unpredictable. Snow has been known to fall in October (the middle of Spring), and heat-generated lightning storms can occur in summer and autumn.

Australia is a vast country and has eight capital states in it's territory's which consists of Melbourne in Victoria, Sydney and Canberra in New South Wales, Brisbane in Queensland, Darwin in the Northern Territory, Western Australia has Perth, the South has Adelaide and last but not least down in Tasmania is Hobart.

Because it lies in a wind protected rain shadow. Being in a valley it doesn't get too much wind and because of the Brindabella ranges nearby it doesnt get as much rain as other places. However Canberra is generally considered cold
