- 👁️ 13
The capital of Australia is Canberra, located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). It was chosen as a compromise between Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities, and officially became the capital in 1913. Designed by American architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Canberra is a planned city with extensive green spaces and iconic landmarks such as Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial. It is home to numerous national institutions, including the National Gallery of Australia and the National Museum. Unlike larger Australian cities, Canberra is known for its tranquil and organised layout.
