entry for state/internal territory of Australia

New page

''New South Wales'' (abbreviated as '''NSW'''), is Australia's most populous of its six states.

It is located in the south-east of the country, north of [[Victoria]], south of [[Queensland]], east of [[South Australia]] and encompasses the whole of the [[Australian Capital Territory]].

The colony of New South Wales was founded in 1788 and originally comprised much of the Australian mainland, as well as Van Diemen's Land, [[Lord Howe Island]] and [[Norfolk Island]] in addition to the area currently referred to as the state of New South Wales, which was formed during Federation in 1901.

When Britain annexed [[New Zealand]] in 1840, it briefly became a part of New South Wales. During the 19th century large areas were successively separated to form the British colonies of [[Tasmania]] (established as a separate colony named Van Diemen's Land in 1825), [[South Australia]] (1836), [[Victoria]] (1851) and [[Queensland]] (1859).

Inhabitants of New South Wales are referred to as New South Welshmen.

New South Wales's capital and largest city is Sydney.

The population of New South Wales is around 7.2 million. New South Wales contains one third (33%) of Australia's population.
