The capital of Australia is Canberra.

User, turn 2

Actually, the capital of Australia really is Canberra.

It is a very common misconception that Sydney is the capital because it is Australia's largest, oldest, and most globally recognized city. However, Canberra was chosen as the nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise between the two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, and was specifically built for that purpose.
