" Australia comprises six states and various territories; the Australian mainland is made up of five states and three territories, with the sixth island state of Tasmania to the south of the mainland. In addition, there are six island territories, known as external territories, and Australian Antarctic Territory. All states and two of the three internal territories have their own parliaments and administer themselves; all remaining territories are administered by the federal government, but with Norfolk Island having some degree of self-government." The territories are: Ashmore & Cartier Islands, Australian Antarctic Territory, Australian Capital Territory (mainland), Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island & McDonald Islands, Jervis Bay Territory (mainland), Norfolk Island, Northern Territory (mainland). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_territories_of_Australia Jan 10 13, 10:25 PM
