Australian states
Australia is divided into six states—New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia—each with its own government responsible for areas like education, transportation, and healthcare. They have varying sizes, populations, and landscapes, from Queensland's beaches to Western Australia's vast wilderness. Australia also includes two main territories, Canberra (the national capital region) and the Northern Territory, which have different administrative roles. These states and territories form the political and geographical framework of Australia, working within the federal system to govern the nation efficiently.
