Facts about New South Wales

New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is Australia's most populous state, located in the south-east of the country, north of Victoria and south of Queensland. It is unknown whether New South Wales refers to the area being named after South Wales, or a New Wales in the Southern Hemisphere.

The original inhabitants of the area were Aboriginal tribes who arrived in Australia approximately forty to sixty thousand years ago. The first European discovery of the area was made by Captain James Cook during his voyage up the East coast of Australia in 1770.

New South Wales is bordered on the north by Queensland, on the west by South Australia, and on the south by Victoria. Its coast faces the Tasman Sea. New South Wales contains two Federal enclaves: the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and the Jervis Bay Territory. New South Wales's three major cities are Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong which all lie along the coast.

The estimated population of New South Wales after the 2006 Census was 6.72 million people. Over 60% of NSW's population is based in Sydney.
