AUSTRALIA ~ Capital Cities ~

... Great postcard showing the eight capital cities and map... Australia is divided into six states and two territories, each with their own capital city... each of which functions as the seat of government for the state or territory in which it is located... over 66% of Australians live in the greater metropolitan area of Australia’s 8 capital cities with Sydney being the largest... followed by Melbourne, Darwin is Australia’s smallest capital city... the nation’s capital, Canberra is larger than Darwin and Hobart combined... Thanks Sharon!!(✿◠‿◠)

Darwin: Northern Territory - Canberra: Australian Capital Territory and Australia - Brisbane: Queensland - Perth:Western Australia - Sydney: New South Wales - Adelaide: South Australia - Melbourne: Victoria - Hobart: Tasmania
Mainland Australia is the world’s largest island but the smallest continent. Australia's geography is extremely diverse, ranging from the snow-capped mountains of the Australian Alps and Tasmania to large deserts, tropical and temperate forests, grasslands, heathlands and woodlands.
