Australian Capital Territory (ACT)

The ACT was established in 1913 as the official territory for the capital city of Canberra. It is purposely located in between Sydney and Melbourne, the two biggest cities in Australia, as both the cities wanted to be the nation’s capital. The ACT has cool, foggy winters and dry, hot summers.
As the capital of Australia, Canberra is home to important institutions such as the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House, and the High Court of Australia. The city also has the National Museum of Australia and the National Gallery of Australia.
