List of Australian capital cities
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Each jurisdiction of Australia has its own capital, where local judicial, administrative and legislative duties are centred. In all cases, they happen to also be the most populous city in their jurisdiction:
| Jurisdiction | Capital |
|---|---|
| Australia | Canberra |
| New South Wales | Sydney |
| Victoria | Melbourne |
| Queensland | Brisbane |
| South Australia | Adelaide |
| Western Australia | Perth |
| Northern Territory | Darwin |
| Tasmania | Hobart |
Note: The city of Canberra is the only city in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), but the ACT is not formally considered to have a capital as such.
