Yes. It is too small for its name inside, so on the map with the names it is named beside the map with a short line; with “Mark the capitals” its name and “Canberra” are set beside Canberra’s ringed dot.

Where does the map come from?

From Natural Earth, a free public-domain map dataset that shows borders as they are in practice. It is a map to learn and colour, not to measure distances.

Is there an Australian states and capitals worksheet?

Yes — choose “Numbered, to write the names and capitals”: the 8 states and territories are numbered on the map with a dot on each capital, pupils write the name and capital on the lines, and page 2 has the answers.

Example

Australia’s 6 states and 2 territories on A4: a wall map, then a capitals test

A Year 4 teacher in Perth needs a wall map and a test for a unit on the states and territories. “With the names” on A4 prints Australia landscape, 297 × 210 mm, Tasmania included. “Mark the capitals” adds 8 dots, Canberra ringed as the national capital, and names Perth, Darwin, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart.

The Australian Capital Territory is too small for its name inside. Without the capitals it is named beside the map on a short line; with them, its name and “Canberra” sit beside the ringed dot.
For the test, “Numbered, to write the names and capitals” turns A4 upright: the map numbered 1 to 8 with a dot on each capital, Name and Date, and a State/Territory and a Capital line per number.
Page 2, Answers, names every state, territory and capital on the map and fills in the list as in the table. The file is australia-capitals-worksheet.pdf.

No.	State or territory	Capital
1	Northern Territory	Darwin
2	Western Australia	Perth
3	South Australia	Adelaide
4	Queensland	Brisbane
5	Victoria	Melbourne
6	Tasmania	Hobart
7	New South Wales	Sydney
8	Australian Capital Territory	Canberra

Two prints for one unit: the named wall map and the two-page test. The numbers run in bands from the north, 1 Northern Territory first, and the small Australian Capital Territory, inside New South Wales (7), comes last as 8.

How it works

Pick a style: blank with the borders for a quiz, the outline only for drawing, or with the names.
Tick “Mark the capitals” to add a dot for each capital, and choose the paper.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
