Antarctica is the driest continent and Australia is the driest inhabited continent, so technically SA cannot be the driest State of the driest continent

Which shows how even more flawed the stats are given Rugby League has a world cup that involves more than 5 countries.

I love the logical conclusions we humans draw....one part is flawed...so everything is flawed :lol:

what is the third mainland one after ACT and NT?

I am assuming that you aren't referring to Jervois Bay as it is part of the ACT.

Ok, a colleague of mine did his officers training at Jervois Bay Naval academy and he told me that it was part of the ACT as it was to give the nations capital a port.

i know it's wiki, but:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jervis_Bay_Territory
The Jervis Bay Territory (pronounced: Jar-vis[1]) is a territory of the Commonwealth of Australia. It was surrendered by the state of New South Wales to the Commonwealth Government in 1915[2][3] so that the Federal capital at Canberra would have "access to the sea".[4]

It was administered by the Department of the Interior (and later by the Department of the Capital Territory) as if it were part of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), although it has always been a separate Commonwealth territory. The perception that it is part of the ACT stems from the fact that under the terms of the Jervis Bay Territory Acceptance Act, the laws of the ACT apply to the Jervis Bay Territory.[5] In 1989, when the ACT achieved self-government, the Department of The Arts, Sport, The Environment, Tourism and Territories took over responsibility for the JBT's administration, and it has since been administered by various Commonwealth Departments responsible to the Minister for Territories.
