2gameORnot2game4mE, Easily, given the answers received when Americans were asked about Australia. One said... Oh yes. It's a little island off the coast of California.
And there I was, thinking I lived on a continent.

Darwin is not a state capital. Australia has six states (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia). It also has two territories (the Northern Territory (NT) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory is not a state.

The Northern Territory is not a state, it is a territory, as the name suggests.

Unreal Neil., No, it is still a territory.
In July 2015, members of the Council of Australian Governments unanimously agreed with then Northern Territory Chief Minister Adam Giles that the territory should become its own state by 2018.[2] This never happened.
Unreal Neil.
It has been given statehood...
