<P>Well done! I'm sure Eric Von Daniken would would consider it proof of alien visitation
<P>It's one of the 9 islands making up the nation of Tuvalu (the 2nd smallest nation in the world - after Vatican City)

Good enough (and I didn't know about the bridge). What else is interesting is that the islands, although only about three and a half kilometres apart, are seperated by the International Date Line. When viewing the other island from the one you are standing on, it is possible to look a day into the past or a day into the future. Of course, all depending upon which one you are on.

<p>This is the Presidential Palace (white) and the Parlimentary Building (tan) in the capital of a country.
<p>1. Name the capital
<br>2. Name the country
<br>3. Worldwide, more often than not, you will see the name of this country written on certain objects. Name the objects and why it is written there.

The ACT has a coastline. It has annexed part of the NSW coastline, specifically around Jervis Bay for that purpose...
