Australian Capital Territory and Canberra

The closest national capital is Canberra.

Canberra. This is the ONLY capital city of Australia. (The next closest capital city is in New Zealand.) :)

Canberra was designed in this neat, circular pattern by Sir Walter Burley Griffin. He was a freemason, and the design takes on some of the distinctive freemason patterns.

Famous buildings in Canberra are- Australian War Memorial National Museum Old and New Parliament House. The Royal mint and Telecomm Tower hope I could help

Rising 195.2 metres above the mountain summit,

The Carillon in Canberra (pronounced carillion but spelt carillon) was officially opened on 26 April 1970. It was presented as a gift from the British government to the Australian people, to celebrate the opening of the national capital, fifty years earlier.

Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, had been rivals since before the goldrush days. After Federation in 1901, 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.

Section 125 of the Constitution of Australia provided that:

"The seat of Government of the Commonwealth shall be determined by the Parliament, and shall be within territory which shall have been granted to or acquired by the Commonwealth, and shall be vested in and belong to the Commonwealth, and shall be in the State of New South Wales, and be distant not less than one hundred miles from Sydney.

Such territory shall contain an area of not less than one hundred square miles, and such portion thereof as shall consist of Crown lands shall be granted to the Commonwealth without any payment therefore. The Parliament shall sit at Melbourne until it meets at the seat of Government."

Jervis Bay Territory is not a part of the ACT. It is a territory separate from the ACT. Residents of Jervis Bay Territory vote at Federal elections only and for this purpose they are part of the ACT electoral division of Fraser. The population of Jervis Bay Territory is made up largely of Aboriginal people from the Wreck Bay Community and naval personnel from HMAS Creswell, a shore based Royal Australian Navy training facility.

Darwin, if you mean Australian capitals, if not, then Canberra is the 2nd most isolated capital city in the world, 1st place being New Zealand's

To solve that geocache you might have to visit the location... ;-)

For Western tourists- perhaps; for East Europeans tourists, no. The only things popular in Belarus with visitors are cheap alcohol, food, sex and other legal and illegal forms of entertaiment.

Australians can be any race, if they were born in Australia or have become Australian citizens.

The first known race in Australia was the aboriginal race. Right through history, they have married people of other cultures - from the Macassans who traded with them before European settlement, to English settlers, to the Afghan camel drivers.

Whilst historically Australia was settled by the English, it was not long before people of other cultures came and settled in the country. Therefore, people who are fully Australian may have German, Italian, Greek or Chinese backgrounds, just to name a few. Very few Australians can actually trace their lineage to members of the First Fleet.

There is no clean in Canberra. Canberra is the capital city of Australia, and located inland, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest ocean. The only bodies of water in Canberra are Lake Burley Griffin and the Molonglo River, while the Murrumbidgee River skirts the city to the west.

It isn't. The dingo is not the faunal emblem of any territory or state in Australia. The faunal emblem of the Australian Capital Territory is the gang gang cockatoo.Although commonly considered Australia's native dog, the dingo is not truly native to the continent, having been brought by the Aborigines about 4000 years ago.

The territories of Australia are established by the Commonwealth government, and are therefore subject to Commonwealth laws. The Commonwealth may deign to give them powers to establish laws in some areas, but essentially this is at the discretion of the Commonwealth government. The territories are really just extensions of the Commonwealth government and its laws.

When the six colonies federated as states, their powers were defined by the Constitution. The territories were established a decade after federation, and although there is provision for them to become states at a later time, until that happens they are still subject only to Commonwealth law.

Drive! we drove and it only took about 4 hours to get there and about half a tank of petrol so $40 and then also when you get there you don't have to spend any money on car hire/taxis/public transport... not to mention it's easier and you are free to go where you want when you want and make decisions along the way.

Canberra is the capitol of Australia. Australia uses the Australian Dollar.

Melbourne held the country's parliament until Canberra was built, but it was never the capital of Australia.
