[aussie state quiz] can you do it on the first clue

.

Here's the promised Australian state quiz, accessible even for Brits, Yanks and Canucks. [Sorry if your land was left out here.] So - 5 points for an answer on the first clue, 4 points on the second and so on.

This Australian state:

1. has a capital, formerly called Bearbrass, which went on to become the capital of Australia from 1901 to 1927;

2. had Mick Jagger play one of its favourite sons;

3. is the most densely populated;

4. was the birthplace of popular democracy in 1850-52;

5. has the largest airport in the country [by physical size].

Clue for no points: Eureka

  1. Victoria - taken from the Great ocean Road, overlooking the twelve apostles - however I think there is only about nine nowa as the rest fell into the sea.

  2. Victoria. Bearbrass (originally founded by Batman - you don't forget that!) became Melbourne.

  3. Curses - I made it too easy again. OK, there's a humdinger coming up this evening whilst I'm out and that might stump a few. :)

  4. I did manage this one too! I don't hold out my chances for getting the one later though ;-)
