Australian Capital Territory and Canberra

Canberra is the capital city of Australia.

Canberra is in the Australian Capital Territory which lies in the southeast of the state of New South Wales, and which is completely surrounded by that state.

The city lies 248km from Sydney and 483km from Melbourne, and about 150km inland from the coast. It is bordered by the Brindabella Ranges to the west, while the closest city is Queanbeyan, 10km to the southeast.

Canberra's coordinates are is: Latitude(35D' 30M 0S) and Longitude(149D' 0M 0S).

From Jindabyne to Cooma is a distance of 61 km.

No Australian capital cites begin with the letter V. There is one state, however, that begins with V and that is Victoria, the capital of which is Melbourne.

Australia's capital now is the same as it has always been: Canberra. There is some debate about whether or not Melbourne was once the nation's capital, but it never was. It was merely where the national Parliament met whilst it awaited construction of its own Parliament House in Canberra. Melbourne was never awarded the status of Australian capital.

the Australian Capital Territory or ACT holds the city of Canberra which is the nation's capital.

There are two misconceptions in this question.

Cities are not discovered. The locality where a city is built is what is discovered.

Canberra is a city that arose out of the need to build a suitable national capital for Australia.

Secondly, James Vaughn was just one of three men travelling together when they discovered the locality where Canberra now stands, in 1820. Joseph Wild and pastoralist Charles Throsby were part of this important expedition to find more land suitable for agriculture and grazing of livestock. Wild and Throsby were the first Europeans to explore the area that later became the Australian Capital Territory, where Canberra was established.

The Australian Capital Territory covers just over 2400 square kilometres in area. This includes the naval territory around Jervis Bay, southern NSW, which is about another 160 square kilometres. In the original documents outlining the transfer of land from NSW to be established as the Federal territory, it is described as being an "area about 900 square miles".

The second largest city in the country of Australia is Perth. Sydney is the largest city in Australia. Melbourne is the third-largest city.

The Commonwealth of Australia consists of 6 states and two mainland territories, along with seven offshore territories.

Probably not. What is the context?

The Australian Capital Territory does not have a gemstone emblem.

Money is made at the Royal Canberra mint for the east coast, and Perth also makes money for the west coast. Due to circulation they mix though so you never know where your not was printed unless you can read the serial number.

When it came to choose a capital city for Australia, neither Sydney nor Melbourne were considered. As Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne had been rivals since before the goldrush days. The goldrushes only exacerbated the situation, with the state of Victoria suddenly wealthier than New South Wales, and Melbourne shaping up to be the cultural centre of Australia.

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."

From Young to Canberra is a distance of 162 km, travelling through Boorowa and Yass. The journey takes just over two hours.
