Australian Capital Territory hotels
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is by far the smallest of Australia's eight states and territories. It was created early in the 20th century as a neutral region to house Australia's national capital, Canberra. The site was chosen from several candidates roughly equidistant between Melbourne and Sydney, the country's two largest cities. ACT is wholly surrounded by the state of New South Wales. It has a population of about 325,000 people.
