Canberra
Canberra is the federal capital of the Commonwealth of Australia. It occupies
part of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in southeastern Australia and is about
150 miles (240 km) southwest of Sydney. Canberra lies astride the Molonglo River,
which is a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River.
Commonwealth of Australia consisting of Canberra, the national capital, and
surrounding land. Most of the Australian Capital Territory lies within the Southern
Tablelands district of New South Wales. The area is 900 square miles (2,400 square
kilometers).
The Australian Capital Territory has a continental climate with marked
seasonal and diurnal variations in temperature. Recorded temperatures range
between 14°F and 108°F (−10°C and 42°C); the daily maximum often exceeds 86° F
(30°C) in summer (December through February). During the winter (June through
August) temperatures are lower, and the higher parts of the mountains are covered
with snow. Frosts occur on most winter nights, but the days are usually sunny and
often warm. Rainfall is unreliable, with periods of drought and flooding. As a result,
large storage reservoirs to ensure water supply and storm-water drainage of high
capacity are needed. Sudden heavy storms have resulted in loss of life. Rainfall is
much higher in the mountains, averaging about 60 inches a year. Fogs are common
in winter and sometimes cause the airport to be closed.
The largest native animals common in the territory are kangaroos, wallabies,
and wombats, which are found in the forest areas and in the grasslands at the
margins of the forests. Smaller marsupials include possums, gliders, and marsupial
mice. The wide range of native birds includes currawongs, magpies, ravens, parrots,
cockatoos, and lorikeets.
When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.
