The Australian Capital Territory, often known as ACT, is the capital territory of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is situated within New South Wales and about 3.5 hrs south west of Sydney. The capital state is 2400 square meters in area. Canberra which is the Capital of ACT is also the national capital. Canberra is one of the world’s best planned cities and has become an increasing source of pride for Australians. Its public buildings, stunning parklands and bush reserves, its leafy suburbs and broad, tree-lined streets are a result of brilliant architecture and outstanding planning. The land on which the capital city is built was first discovered by Charles Throsby Smith and his party of explorers in 1820. Canberra city was built on an undulating plain in an amphi-theartre of the Australian Alps. The Molonglo River runs through the city. The river was damned in 1964 which then created Lake Burley Griffin. Canberra has been developed around Lake Burley Griffin.
