  • I will never forgive myself for getting it totally wrong in the Australia video is so embarrassing, but I'm redeeming myself right now.

  • Cam brought in a nutshell.

  • Camera was built because it was kind of like the middle point between Melbourne and Sydney, so that neither could be the capital and they were just like, Let's find the neutral ground Even though geographically it's a little closer to Sydney, the territory is small, only encompassing about 2300 square kilometres.

  • It's basically where you see all the government buildings, the parliament building, which actually looks pretty cool.

  • A lot of you guys said the same thing.

  • For some reason, it is known for having lots of roundabouts, people who can't build front fences on their property, legal fireworks and legal pornography.

  • Jervis or Jarvis Bay Territory.

  • Many people don't even really see this as like a separate territory, because it's kind of like it works with the capital.

  • As the story goes after camera was built, they were kind of like, Oh, crap.

  • Maybe we should have done this on the coast so that we could have access to the ocean.

  • So in 1915 New South Wales like, Okay, you can have this little peninsula.

  • So then they took it, But then it kind of sucks because the port didn't really function that well, and like the train leading up to it couldn't hold heavy freight cargo going up the hill.

  • And now it's just home to like a navy base with, like, 400 people.

  • So it actually cooperates with the capital legislatively, but it actually is its own separate territory.

  • I mean, it's super small, but you can still actually do some things here like there's well watching.

  • There's some shops and restaurants.

  • It's just about it.

  • Small little territory.
