What are the two territories of mainland Australia?
- Western Territory and Central Territory
- Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory
- Northern Territory and Queensland Territory
Why this is the correct answer
Australia has two mainland territories — the Northern Territory, covering the top end and centre of the country, and the Australian Capital Territory, which contains the national capital Canberra. These territories have self-governing powers but fewer rights than the six states. A third territory, Jervis Bay, is very small and often overlooked.
