Description
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is a federal territory of Australia, located in the southeastern part of the country. It is home to Canberra, the capital city of Australia, which was selected as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne. The ACT covers an area of approximately 2,358 square kilometers (910 square miles) and is surrounded entirely by New South Wales.
Established in 1911, the ACT was created to provide a separate location for the national capital, as the Australian Constitution requires that the capital not be located in any one state. The (ACT) is governed by its own legislature, the Legislative Assembly, and has its own government, responsible for local matters. It also has a unique legal status under Australian law, allowing it to enact laws separate from the states.
The ACT boasts a diverse landscape consisting of nature reserves, parks, and mountain ranges, making it popular for outdoor activities. It is home to several national institutions, such as the Australian National Gallery and the National Museum of Australia, which reflect the country’s cultural heritage. The population of the ACT is relatively small, with a vibrant community that enjoys a high quality of life.
