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 was founded
in 1788 and originally comprised
much of the Australian mainland, as
well as New Zealand, Lord Howe
Island and Norfolk Island. During
the 19th century large areas were
successively separated to form the
British colonies of Tasmania, South
Australia, Victoria, Queensland and
New Zealand.
An inhabitant of New South Wales is
referred to as a New South Welshman.
New South Wales' largest city and
capital is Sydney.
It is not clear whether New South
Wales refers to the area being named
after South Wales, or a New Wales in
the Southern Hemisphere.
In the journal covering his survey
of the eastern coast of the
Australian continent, the then Lt.
James Cook (later Captain James
Cook) first named the east coast of
Australia ''New Wales'', which he
later corrected in his journal to
''New South Wales''.
