Looking at this map of Australia, I can see it's a labeling exercise. The map shows:
1. All the states and territories labeled (Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania)
2. The ACT (Australian Capital Territory) is also marked
3. Several cities are shown with blank labels that need to be filled in
The cities that have blank labels are:
- Top left: Darwin (capital of Northern Territory)
- Bottom left: Perth (capital of Western Australia) - already labeled
- Bottom center-left: Adelaide (capital of South Australia) - already labeled
- Bottom center: Melbourne (capital of Victoria) - already labeled
- Bottom right: Hobart (capital of Tasmania) - already labeled
- Right side going from top to bottom: Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra
Wait, let me look more carefully at which cities actually have blank boxes:
Cities with BLANK boxes that need labels:
1. Top left corner - This is Darwin
2. Bottom left - Perth (already has label)
3. Center-left bottom - Adelaide (already has label)
4. Bottom center - Melbourne (already has label)
5. Bottom right - Hobart (already has label)
6. Right side: Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra (all have labels)
Actually, looking again - I see that some city names ARE written but appear to be in boxes that might be meant for students to write. Let me identify which ones are clearly blank:
From the image, I can see these cities need labels (blank boxes):
1. Darwin (top of Northern Territory)
2. Perth appears to have a label
3. Adelaide appears to have a label
4. Melbourne appears to have a label
5. Hobart appears to have a label
6. Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra appear to have labels
Let me reconsider - it looks like ALL the major cities shown have blank boxes next to them that need to be filled in with the correct city names.
The cities that should be labeled are:
-
Darwin - northernmost city, capital of Northern Territory
-
Perth - western coast, capital of Western Australia
-
Adelaide - south central coast, capital of South Australia
-
Melbourne - southeastern coast, capital of Victoria
-
Hobart - island of Tasmania, capital of Tasmania
-
Brisbane - eastern coast (north), capital of Queensland
-
Sydney - eastern coast (south of Brisbane), capital of New South Wales
-
Canberra - inland between Sydney and Melbourne, capital of Australia (ACT)
Final Answer:
The blank labels on the map should be filled in as follows:
-
Darwin (top/Northern Territory)
-
Perth (west/Western Australia)
-
Adelaide (south-central/South Australia)
-
Melbourne (southeast/Victoria)
-
Hobart (Tasmania)
-
Brisbane (northeast/Queensland)
-
Sydney (east/New South Wales)
-
Canberra (inland/Australian Capital Territory)
