No, Sydney is not the capital of Australia. The capital of Australia is Canberra. It was chosen as the capital in 1908 due to its location between the two major cities of Sydney and Melbourne, which were both vying for the capital status. Canberra was purpose-built as the capital and officially became the seat of government in 1913.

While Sydney has never been the capital of Australia, it is the largest city in the country and a major economic and cultural center.
