Trivia: What is the capital of Australia?
Sydney
Canberra
Adelaide
Perth
The correct answer is Canberra
So why is this answer correct? : Cities like Sydney and Melbourne are indeed major Australian cultural hubs, but it is Canberra that is home to the nation’s capital. Just as Washington, D.C., has a separate distinction for the area comprising the capital, Canberra has its own territory called the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The ACT is surrounded by New South Wales and is located southwest of Sydney.
