The capital of Australia is Canberra.

User, turn 2

Actually, the capital of Australia is indeed Canberra.

While Sydney is Australia's largest, most populous, and arguably most famous city—which leads many people to assume it is the capital—Canberra holds the official title. It was specifically chosen to be the nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise to settle a rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne.
