Australia states quiz: all 8, three ways to play, with the capitals

The quiz asks Australia’s six states and two territories, each once in random order: 8 questions. “Find the place” names a state, “Find it from its capital” names its capital (“Find the one whose capital is Darwin”), and “Choose the capital” lights a state and offers four of the eight capitals.

  1. The Australian Capital Territory is a small patch inside New South Wales: zoom in with the buttons, Ctrl + scroll or two fingers, or click its circle if it is too small to hit.
  2. On the map, the third miss shows the answer; in “Choose the capital”, the second wrong pick does.
  3. The end shows your score out of 8 — first tries only — and your time; “Practise the ones I missed” replays the rest.
State or territory Capital
Western Australia Perth
Northern Territory Darwin
South Australia Adelaide
Queensland Brisbane
New South Wales Sydney
Australian Capital Territory Canberra
Victoria Melbourne
Tasmania Hobart

The classic slip is Sydney: it is the capital of New South Wales, while Australia’s capital is Canberra, in the ACT. With 8 questions a round takes a minute or two, so it is easy to play again until the score reads 8/8.

How it works

  1. Choose whether to find the places or find them from their capitals.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I quiz the capitals?
Yes — choose “Choose the capital” to see each place highlighted and pick its capital, or “Find it from its capital” to be given the capital and find the place.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map (a capital, in “Find it from its capital”): click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
Is Canberra the capital of New South Wales?
No: Sydney is. Canberra is in the Australian Capital Territory, and it is the answer for the ACT. The quiz has all 8 capitals, from Perth to Hobart.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
