## Prompt

What is the capital of Australia?

## Response

The capital of Australia is **Canberra**. It was purpose-built as the seat of government and officially became the capital in 1913.

Key facts:

- **Population:** ~460,000 (Australia's 8th largest city)
- **Design:** Planned city designed by American architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin
- **Home to:** Parliament House, the High Court of Australia, and the Australian War Memorial
- **Name origin:** Derived from the Ngunnawal word "Kamberra," meaning "meeting place"
