Hype for the Future 79Q: Guadalcanal 🇸🇧

Introduction

The island of Guadalcanal is the principal island of the Solomon Islands, home to Honiara, the capital of the independent nation.

Attractions

Within the City of Honiara, the most notable tourist attractions include the Solomon Islands National Museum, the National Art Gallery, the Solomon Islands Visitors Bureau, the Solomon Scouts and Coastwatchers Monument, the Dreamcast Art Hub, and the Supreme Casino, with the eastern attractions largely determined by the local Chinatown.

Hype for the Future 71D: States, Territories, and Capitals of Australia

Introduction

Australia 🇦🇺 is a sovereign state representing the entire “mainland” area of Oceania, otherwise known as “Australia,” particularly in Anglophone contexts. Within Australia, the City of Canberra serves as the national capital, though much of the nation is hostile to human settlement, particularly within the Australian interior and the northern end of the nation. As the only nation in the world to truly span a continent, if Australia could be referred to as a continent specifically, the nation is divided into six (6) states and two (2) internal territories within the mainland, though the island of Tasmania is slightly separated from the mainland largely opposite the State of Victoria.

States, Territories, and Capitals of Australia

Within Australia, the six states are Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. The two internal territories of the nation are the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. The following list is intended to showcase the clearly distinct capitals for each state and territory:

• Victoria: Melbourne
• New South Wales: Sydney
• Queensland: Brisbane
• South Australia: Adelaide
• Western Australia: Perth
• Tasmania: Hobart
• Northern Territory: Darwin
• Australian Capital Territory: Canberra

While Monaco is certainly European, Indonesia is generally Asian and Melanesian further east. Monaco is represented in emoji form with a more European shade of red, while Indonesia is generally more vibrant and less of a crimson red.
