App Description

Memory Card Game about Australian Prime Ministers, States, Territories and Islands.

May help you increase your memory skills.

Australian States, Territories, Islands and their Capitals

The states and mainland territories of Australia combine to make up the world's sixth-largest country by total area.

Australia comprises six states and various territories; the Australian mainland is made up of five states and three territories, with the sixth island state of Tasmania to the south of the mainland.

In addition, there are six island territories, known as external territories, and Australian Antarctic Territory.

All states and two of the three internal territories have their own parliaments and administer themselves; all remaining territories are administered by the federal government, but with Norfolk Island having some degree of self-government.

In this game there are six states, three territories and two external Islands.


Score points by matching pairs of flags of Australian states, territories and islands.
You get to learn their flags and capitals.

How to Play:

There are 11 flags altogether, so we have split them up into 2 groups.

You will see a grid of cards, tap two cards to find a match.

The matching pair will then disappear. Continue until all pairs have disappeared.

Scoring:
You score 100 points for each correctly matched pair but lose 5 points for each incorrect pair.

The game is also timed so once you start to get the hang of matching the flags you can challenge yourself by completing each game faster.
