The Australian Capital Territory, often abbreviated ACT, is the capital territory of the Commonwealth of Australia and is the smallest self-governing internal territory. It is enclaved within New South Wales and is regularly referred to as Australia's 'Bush Capital'.

The need for a National Territory was flagged by colonial delegates during the Federation conventions of the late 19th century. Section 125 of the Australian Constitution provided that following Federation in 1901, land would be ceded freely to the new Federal Government. The territory was transferred to the Commonwealth by the state of New South Wales in 1911, two years prior to the naming of Canberra as the National Capital in 1913. The floral emblem of the ACT is the Royal Bluebell and the faunal emblem is the Gang-gang Cockatoo.

I left the Blue Mountains and headed south along the Hume Highway and through some very California-like regions to reach Canberra, the capital city of Australia. There, I learned a bit about the Australian government in the Parliament House, and later hung out with Aboriginal activists outside the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. All of the music included in these videos contains music heard while on my trip. In order: Drapht - "Where Yah From" Midnight Oil - "Beds Are Burning"
