Australia State & Territory Capitals Quiz

Practice Australia state/territory capitals by matching each region with the city that anchors it. The quiz covers coastal capitals such as Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, and Hobart and the inland national capital Canberra. Play it after the map quiz so the city names connect to familiar shapes: the east coast cluster, the western third, the central north, the island south of the mainland, and the small capital territory. That place-first sequence makes the capital list easier than memorizing 11 city pairs in isolation.

Match each Australia state/territory to its capital, from Sydney to Canberra.
