Federal capital is Canberra ACT, but before 1927 the federal parliament was based in Melbourne.
The ACT is a territory of land 'resumed' out of the state of NSW for the purpose of establishing a national capital so it's technically a seperate territory (not a state - like the Northern Territory aka NT the ACT does not have the full sovereign government and legislative structure of a state under the Australian constitution) . It's quite small - only about 2,400 sq km.
The state of NSW is just over 800,000 sq km's.

Yes.
When I went through college 60+ years ago I participated in the ROTC program and that required taking a handful of prescribed courses, one being Political Geography. It was like an imaginary road trip that circled the globe. Taught by a professor that held the world in his hand. Still one of my most favorite courses.

@Monaschandroff86 So do I. And it’s in the ACT not NSW
@Monaschandroff86 Canberra was created to settle a disagreement between Melbourne and Sydney both wanting to be the capital of Australia. Canberra was the compromise and the Australian Capital Territory was created.
