the territory where the capital city of australia, canberra, is located. it is NOT a state, but a territory and can still have legislation trampled all over by the federal government (such as same sex marriages). it has the city of canberra in the north, and a national park in the south: that is all.
Hey dude, do you know what the Australian Capital Territory Self-Government Act of 1988 did?
No dude, what?
Gave the ACT its own government.
Awesome dude!

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

a complete waste of time and space, with no real purpose but to settle the dickheads from victoria and NSW down during the federation or some garbage. the place is 90% public servants and their families and hence is the most boring place in the world, so boring in fact that people between the age of 18 and 24 drive to sydney or melbourne due to the lack of social opportunities in canberra. everyone else wanks constantly
Man: hey mate, you wanna go to the ACT?

Man: never mind, lets just stay here.

Contains Canberra, Australia's Capital City.
Also known as the fireworks and porn capital of Australia
Notoriously political place. Exciting for people between the ages of 35-90+
Located between Sydney and Melbourne where anyone under the age of 35 goes to when they have free time to avoid spending time in the ACT.

I just spent a few days down in Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory. It's the only City in Australia where you can buy both Porn and Fireworks. Those are two things you never EVER want to get mixed up. We're talking serious testical burn
