Australian Capital Territory and Canberra

The Federal Highway runs between Canberra and Goulburn.

Every couple of winters. Most recent is August 2012

Canberra is a city and there has never been another city built within it. However due to Canberra's expansion, its planners adopted the (somewhat faulty and stupid) 'Y' plan. The Y plan was to have a 'town centre' located within each major district, and the position of the centres when connected make a 'Y'. Belconnen and Gungahlin are the topmost points of the Y, converging in Civic- or the city- in the centre of the letter before moving down through Woden to Tuggeranong at the bottom of the Y.

The new district of Mollongolo however, goes against this plan in an effort to reduce Canberra's huge urban sprawl.

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. However, until 1938, it was called the Federal Capital Territory. The Naval territory of Jervis Bay was ceded in 1915.

Yes. Walter Burley Griffin, a Chicago architect, won first prize in an international competition for the design of the Australian federal capital, in 1912.

In 1921, he declined to become a member of the advisory committee after government insistence that he act in a purely advisory capacity on the committee.

Canberra, Australia's national capital, is the main city of the Australian Capital Territory.

Canberra is divided into smaller towns and suburbs. To see a list of these, refer to the related link below.

Sydney... it has the Sydney Opera House and that city is well known for it's music.

The distance from Goulburn to Canberra is 92km. The journey takes just under an hour.

Really cold winters with heavy fogs, heavy frosts, frequent sleet and occasional snow, then with moderately harsh dry summers. The majority of storms happen in spring and autumn is the best season in Canberra due to the crisp air and the colours of the many european trees mixed with the evergreen natives

No, Perth is on the west coast and the capital, Canberra, is about an hour's flight inland from the east coast.

Road distance between the two cities is between 3,720 and 3,910 km, and takes an average of 40 hours to travel (non-stop).

Canberra is the national capital of Australia.

The Australian flag that flies 81 metres above Parliament House in Canberra measures 12.8 metres by 6.4 metres.

The language of Canberra, as with the rest of Australia, is English. There are many cultures represented in Canberra, so many other languages are spoken.

This question might mean one of two things. The largest river that flows through the Australian Capital Territory is the Murrumbidgee. It flows near Canberra but not through it. The largest river that flows through Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory is the Molonglo.

It is forever changing!!!!!

But first, the question is incorrect. There are only 6 state capital cities in Australia, not 7.

The states, their capital cities and populations as at 30 June 2010 are as follows:

New South Wales, Sydney: 4,504,500

Victoria, Melbourne: 3,995,500

Queensland, Brisbane: 2,004,300

South Australia, Adelaide: 1,187,500

Western Australia, Perth: 1,659,000

Tasmania, Hobart: 212,000

There are two other capital cities in Australia: the national capital, Canberra located in the Australian Capital Territory, and Darwin, the captial of the Northern Territory a self governing territory in the north of Australia.

Northern Territory, Darwin 124,800

Australian Capital Territory,Canberra 351, 900

There are also other territories of Australia (Christmas Island, Cocos Keeling Islands, Jervis Bay and several largely uninhabited islands but their urban populations are not regarded as capital cities).

Because originally the two most influential states NSW and Victoria could not agree on what state would house the Capital, so the only way to settle it was to create a non state to house the capital in the middle of no where. (political thinking) Makes one wonder why the whole world is still at war.

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.

It depends

express post is about 1-2 days

next day delivery is next day

other deliveries can be between 4-10 days

hope this helped :)

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.
