Federal Capital of Australia

The question asks to identify the federal capital city of Australia.

Canberra is the federal capital of Australia. It is located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).

Reasoning:

• Canberra was chosen as the capital city as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's two largest cities.
• Construction began in 1913, and it officially became the seat of government.
• While Sydney and Melbourne are larger and perhaps more internationally known cities, they serve as state capitals (New South Wales and Victoria, respectively) and are not the federal capital.
• Adelaide is the capital city of the state of South Australia.

Therefore, Canberra is the correct federal capital.
