Although it is not part of New South Wales the Australian Capital Territory is surrounded by the state. It is here that the thriving and rapidly expanding national capital, Canberra, is home to the country's public servants and politicians. Of course it has grown so rapidly over the past thirty years that it is now a lot more than politicians and public servants.

Canberra is an artificial city. It did not grow up because of a natural need or natural advantages. It grew up as a compromise. It is a city created as a result of interstate rivalries between New South Wales and Victoria. Where common sense would have demanded that either Sydney or Melbourne become the national capital (thus integrating Federal politics and national administration into the real world of an existing city) political sense said it should be roughly equidistant from the two cities.

The Australian Capital Territory stretches 88km from north to south and only 30km from west to east. The landscape around Canberra is made up of rugged plains, hills and mountains, as well as plenty of trees. This countryside leads into New South Wales from all directions, with most of the landscape being National Parks.

The population of Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is a little over 300,000. The total area of the territory is a fraction over 2,400 square kilometres; tiny by Australian standards. The Capital Territory is surrounded by New South Wales, with the capital Canberra surrounding Lake Burley Griffin, which is man made.

Canberra is sometimes called 'the bush capital' because pockets of bushland reserve extend almost to the city centre and over half of the land is classified as national park or nature reserve. All this bush turned out to be a disadvantage when on January 18, 2003,a firestorm pushed beyond containment lines and into the suburbs of the national capital and killed four people and destroyed 507 houses.

Sarah Jones, who lives on the outskirts of the city, described how she saw fire jumping from one hill to another through the sky, though the hills were several kilometres apart! Even houses right in the city went up in flames from burning debris falling from the sky and fire creeping in along nature strips.

Kangaroos also stray into the city's parks, especially in dry times, and there have been incidences where people walking their dogs had their pet killed by kangaroos. Dogs may think it is fun to chase wildlife but a large kangaroo can stand its ground very well.
