New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is a state on the east coast of Australia.
It borders Queensland to the north, Victoria to the south, South Australia to th
e west, the Tasman Sea to the east and surrounds the whole of the Australian Cap
ital Territory. New South Wales' capital city is Sydney, which is also the natio
n's most populous city. In June 2013, the estimated population of New South Wale
s was 7.4 million,[3] making it Australia's most populous state. Just under twothirds of the state's population, 4.67 million, live in the Greater Sydney area.
[8] Inhabitants of New South Wales are referred to as New South Welshmen.[1][2]
The colony of New South Wales was founded in 1788. It originally comprised a lar
ger area of the Australian mainland also including Lord Howe Island, New Zealand
, Norfolk Island and Van Diemen's Land. During the 19th century, large areas wer
e separated to form the British colonies of Tasmania, South Australia, New Zeala
nd, Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory (1863).
Lord Howe Island remains part of New South Wales, while Norfolk Island has becom
e a federal Territory, as have the areas now known as the Australian Capital Ter
ritory and the Jervis Bay Territory.

History[edit]

Aborigines (indigenous people)[edit]
Main article: Prehistory of Australia
The original inhabitants of New South Wales were the Aboriginal tribes who arriv
ed in Australia about 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. Before European settlement the
re were an estimated 250,000 Aboriginal people in the region.[9]
The Wodi Wodi people are the original custodians of the Illawarra region of Sout
h Sydney.[10] Speaking a variant of the Dharawal language, the Wodi Wodi people
lived across a large stretch of land which was roughly surrounded by what is now
known as Campbelltown, Shoalhaven River and Moss Vale.[10]
The Bundjalung people are the original custodians of parts of the northern coast
al areas.
1788 British settlement[edit]
The European discovery of New South Wales was made by Captain James Cook during
his 1770 survey along the unmapped eastern coast of the Dutch-named continent of
New Holland, now Australia. In his original journal(s) covering the survey, in
triplicate to satisfy Admiralty Orders, Cook first named the land "New Wales". H
owever, in the copy held by the Admiralty, he "revised the wording" to "New Sout
h Wales".[11]
The first British settlement was made by what is known in Australian history as
the First Fleet; this was led by Captain Arthur Phillip, who assumed the role of
governor of the settlement on arrival in 1788 until 1792.[12][13]
After years of chaos, anarchy and the overthrow of Governor William Bligh, a new
governor, Lieutenant-Colonel (later Major-General) Lachlan Macquarie, was sent
from Britain to reform the settlement in 1809.[14] During his time as governor,
Macquarie commissioned the construction of roads, wharves, churches and public b
uildings, sent explorers out from Sydney and employed a planner to design the st
reet layout of Sydney. Macquarie's legacy is still evident today.
Mid-1800s[edit]
During the 19th century, large areas were successively separated to form the Bri
tish colonies of Tasmania (proclaimed as a separate colony named Van Diemen's La
nd in 1825), South Australia (1836), Victoria (1851) and Queensland (1859). Resp
onsible government was granted to the New South Wales colony in 1855. Following
the Treaty of Waitangi, William Hobson declared British sovereignty over New Zea
land in 1840. In 1841, it was separated from the Colony of New South Wales to fo
rm the new Colony of New Zealand.
Charles Darwin visited Australia in January 1836 and in The Voyage of the Beagle
(chapter 19 of the 11th edition) records his hesitations about and fascination
with New South Wales, including his speculations about the geological origin and
formation of the great valleys, the aboriginal population, the situation of the
convicts, and the future prospects of the country.
yed in power for 24 years. World War II saw another surge in industrial developm
ent to meet the needs of a war economy, and also the elimination of unemployment
.
Post-war period[edit]
Labor stayed in power until 1965. Towards the end of its term in power it announ
ced a plan for the construction of an opera/arts facility on Bennelong Point. Th
e design competition was won by Jrn Utzon. Controversy over the cost of what woul
d eventually become the Sydney Opera House became a political issue and was a fa
ctor in the eventual defeat of Labor in 1965 by the conservative Liberal Party l
ed by Sir Robert Askin. Sir Robert remains a controversial figure with supporter
s claiming him to be reformist especially in terms of reshaping the NSW economy.
Others though, regard the Askin era as synonymous with corruption with Askin th
e head of a network involving NSW police and SP bookmaking (Goot).
In the late 1960s, a secessionist movement in the New England region of the stat
e led to a referendum on the issue. The new state would have consisted of much o
f northern NSW including Newcastle. The referendum was narrowly defeated and, as
of 2010, there are no active or organised campaigns for new states in NSW.
Askin's resignation in 1975 was followed by a number of short lived premierships
by Liberal Party leaders. When a general election came in 1976 the ALP under Ne
ville Wran were returned to power. Wran was able to transform this narrow one se
at victory into landslide wins (known as Wranslide) in 1978 and 1981.[citation n
eeded]
The Sydney Opera House was completed in 1973 and has become a World Heritage Sit
e.
After winning a comfortable though reduced majority in 1984, Wran resigned as pr
emier and left parliament. His replacement Barrie Unsworth struggled to emerge f
rom Wran's shadow and lost a 1988 election against a resurgent Liberal Party led
by Nick Greiner. Unsworth was replaced as ALP leader by Bob Carr. Initially Gre
iner was a popular leader instigating reform such as the creation of the Indepen
dent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). Greiner called a snap election in 199
1 which the Liberals were expected to win. However the ALP polled extremely well
and the Liberals lost their majority and needed the support of independents to
retain power.
Greiner was accused (by ICAC) of corrupt actions involving an allegation that a
government position was offered to tempt an independent (who had defected from t
he Liberals) to resign his seat so that the Liberal party could regain it and sh
ore up its numbers. Greiner resigned but was later cleared of corruption. His re
placement as Liberal leader and Premier was John Fahey whose government secured
Sydney the right to host the 2000 Summer Olympics. In the 1995 election, Fahey's
government lost narrowly and the ALP under Bob Carr returned to power.
Like Wran before him Carr was able to turn a narrow majority into landslide wins
at the next two elections (1999 and 2003). During this era, NSW hosted the 2000
Sydney Olympics which were internationally regarded as very successful, and hel
ped boost Carr's popularity. Carr surprised most people by resigning from office
in 2005. He was replaced by Morris Iemma, who remained Premier after being re-e
lected in the March 2007 state election, until he was replaced by Nathan Rees in
September 2008.[15] Rees was subsequently replaced by Kristina Keneally in Dece
mber 2009.[16] Keneally's government was defeated at the 2011 state election and
Barry O'Farrell became Premier on 28 March. On 17 April 2014, O'Farrell stood d
own as Premier after misleading an ICAC investigation concerning a gift of a bot
tle of wine. The Liberal Party then elected Treasurer Mike Baird as party leader
and Premier.
Government[edit]
Main article: Government of New South Wales
New South Wales Parliament House
Executive authority is vested in the Governor of New South Wales, who represents
and is appointed by Queen Elizabeth II. The current Governor is Marie Bashir. T
he Governor commissions as Premier the leader of the parliamentary political par
ty that can command a simple majority of votes in the Legislative Assembly. The
Premier then recommends the appointment of other Members of the two Houses to th
e Ministry, under the principle of responsible or Westminster government. It sho
uld be noted, however, that as in other Westminster systems, there is no constit
utional requirement in NSW for the Government to be formed from the Parliamentmer
ely convention. The Premier is Mike Baird of the Liberal Party.[16]
Constitution[edit]
The form of the Government of New South Wales is prescribed in its Constitution,
dating from 1856 and currently the Constitution Act 1902 (NSW).[17] Since 1901
New South Wales has been a state of the Commonwealth of Australia, and the Austr
alian Constitution regulates its relationship with the Commonwealth.
Under the Australian Constitution, New South Wales ceded certain legislative and
judicial powers to the Commonwealth, but retained independence in all other are
as. The New South Wales Constitution says: "The Legislature shall, subject to th
e provisions of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, have power to ma
ke laws for the peace, welfare, and good government of New South Wales in all ca
ses whatsoever".[18]
Parliament[edit]
The State Parliament is composed of the Sovereign and two houses: the Legislativ
e Assembly (lower house), and the Legislative Council (upper house). Elections a
re held every four years on the fourth Saturday of March, the most recent being
on 26 March 2011. At each election one member is elected to the Legislative Asse
mbly from each of 93 electoral districts and half of the 42 members of the Legis
lative Council are elected by a statewide electorate.
Local government[edit]
New South Wales is divided into 152 local government areas. In addition, there i
s also the Unincorporated Far West Region which is not part of any local governm
ent area, in the sparsely inhabited Far West, and Lord Howe Island, which is als
o unincorporated but self-governed by the Lord Howe Island Board.
Emergency services[edit]
New South Wales is policed by the New South Wales Police Force, a statutory auth
ority. Established in 1862, the NSW Police Force investigates Summary and Indict
able offences throughout the State of New South Wales. The state has two fire se
rvices: the volunteer based New South Wales Rural Fire Service, which is respons
ible for the majority of the state, and the Fire and Rescue NSW, a government ag
ency responsible for protecting urban areas. There is some overlap due to suburb
anisation. Ambulance services are provided through the Ambulance Service of New
South Wales. Rescue services (i.e. vertical, road crash, confinement) are a join
t effort by all emergency services, with Ambulance Rescue, Police Rescue Squad a
nd Fire Rescue Units contributing. Volunteer rescue organisations include the Au
stralian Volunteer Coast Guard, State Emergency Service (SES), Surf Life Saving
New South Wales and Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA).
Demographics[edit]

Population[edit]
The estimated resident population since 1981
The estimated population of New South Wales at the end of June 2010 was 7.24 mil
lion people. The population grew by 1.5% over the preceding year,[19] lower than
the national rate of 1.7%.
The principal ancestries of New South Wales's residents (as surveyed in 2011) ar
e:[20]
25.0% Australian
24.2% English
7.4% Irish
6.0% Scottish
4.3% Chinese
62.9% of NSW's population is based in Sydney.[21]

Transport[edit]
Passage through New South Wales is vital for cross-continent transport. Rail and
road traffic from Brisbane (Queensland) to Perth (Western Australia), or to Mel
bourne (Victoria) must pass through New South Wales.
Railways[edit]
Sydney Trains A Set at Strathfield Station
The majority of railways in New South Wales are currently operated by the state
government. Some lines began as branch-lines of railways starting in other state
s. For instance, Balranald near the Victorian border was connected by a rail lin
e coming up from Victoria and into New South Wales. Another line beginning in Ad
elaide crossed over the border and stopped at Broken Hill.
Railways management are conducted by Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink[23] which m
aintain rolling stock. Sydney Trains operates trains within Sydney while NSW Tra
inLink operates outside Sydney, intercity, country and interstate services.
Roads[edit]
Major roads are the concern of both federal and state governments. The latter ma
intains these through the Department of Roads and Maritime Services, formerly th
e Roads and Traffic Authority, and before that, the Department of Main Roads (DM
R).
11 and 12.
The government classifies the 13 years of primary and secondary schooling into s
ix stages, beginning with early stage 1 (Kindergarten) and ending with stage 6 (
years 11 and 12).
School Certificate[edit]
Main article: School Certificate
The School Certificate was awarded by the Board of Studies to students at the en
d of Year 10. The Board of Studies administered five external tests in English-l
iteracy, Mathematics, Science, Australian History, Geography, Civics and Citizen
ship. The tests were designed to grade a student on their ability. The results o
f this test were categorised into bands 1 through to 6 with band 1 as the lowest
and band 6 as the highest.[33] Adrian Piccoli the NSW Education Minister confir
med that School Certificate tests would not continue after 2011.[34]
Higher School Certificate[edit]
Main article: Higher School Certificate (New South Wales)
The Higher School Certificate (HSC) is the usual Year 12 leaving certificate in
NSW. Most students complete the HSC prior to entering the workforce or going on
to study at university or TAFE (although the HSC itself can be completed at TAFE
). The HSC must be completed for a student to get an Australian Tertiary Admissi
on Rank (formerly Universities Admission Index), which determines the students r
ank against fellow students who completed the Higher School Certificate.
Tertiary[edit]
The University of Sydney, established in 1850, is the oldest university in Austr
alia
Eleven universities primarily operate in New South Wales. Sydney is home to Aust
ralia's first university, the University of Sydney founded in 1850, and is the l
argest and highest ranked university in New South Wales.[35][36] Other universit
ies include the University of New South Wales, Macquarie University, the Univers
ity of Technology, Sydney and the University of Western Sydney. The Australian C
atholic University has two of its six campuses in Sydney, and the private Univer
sity of Notre Dame Australia also operates a secondary campus in the city.
Outside Sydney, the leading universities are the University of Newcastle and the
University of Wollongong. Armidale is home to the University of New England, an
d Charles Sturt University and Southern Cross University have campuses spread ac
ross cities in the state's south-west and north coast respectively.
The public universities are state government agencies, however they are largely
regulated by the federal government, which also administers their public funding
. Admission to NSW universities is arranged together with universities in the Au
stralian Capital Territory by another government agency, the Universities Admiss
ion Centre.
Primarily vocational training is provided up the level of advanced diplomas is p
rovided by the state government's ten Technical and Further Education (TAFE) ins
titutes. These institutes run courses in over 130 campuses throughout the state.

be divided g
eographically into four areas. New South Wales' three largest cities, Sydney, Ne
wcastle and Wollongong, lie near the centre of a narrow coastal strip extending
from cool temperate areas on the far south coast to subtropical areas near the Q
ueensland border.
Byron Bay beach in northern New South Wales
The Illawarra region is centred on the city of Wollongong, with the Shoalhaven,
Eurobodalla and the Sapphire Coast to the south. The Central Coast lies between
Sydney and Newcastle, with the Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers regions reach
ing northwards to the Queensland border. Tourism is important to the economies o
f coastal towns such as Coffs Harbour, Lismore, Nowra and Port Macquarie, but th
e region also produces seafood, beef, dairy, fruit, sugar cane and timber.
The Great Dividing Range extends from Victoria in the south through New South Wa
les to Queensland, parallel to the narrow coastal plain. This area includes the
Snowy Mountains, the Northern, Central and Southern Tablelands, the Southern Hig
hlands and the South West Slopes. Whilst not particularly steep, many peaks of t
he range rise above 1,000 metres (3,281 ft), with the highest Mount Kosciuszko a
t 2,229 m (7,313 ft). Skiing in Australia began in this region at Kiandra around
1861. The relatively short ski season underwrites the tourist industry in the S
nowy Mountains. Agriculture, particularly the wool industry, is important throug
hout the highlands. Major centres include Armidale, Bathurst, Bowral, Goulburn,
Inverell, Orange, Queanbeyan and Tamworth.
There are numerous forests in New South Wales, with such tree species as Red Gum
Eucalyptus and Crow Ash (Flindersia australis), being represented.[37] Forest f
loors have a diverse set of understory shrubs and fungi. One of the widespread f
ungi is Witch's Butter (Tremella mesenterica).[38]
The western slopes and plains fill a significant portion of the state's area and
have a much sparser population than areas nearer the coast. Agriculture is cent
ral to the economy of the western slopes, particularly the Riverina region and M
urrumbidgee Irrigation Area in the state's south-west. Regional cities such as A
lbury, Dubbo, Griffith and Wagga Wagga and towns such as Deniliquin, Leeton and
Parkes exist primarily to service these agricultural regions. The western slopes
descend slowly to the western plains that comprise almost two-thirds of the sta
te and are largely arid or semi-arid. The mining town of Broken Hill is the larg
est centre in this area.[39]
One possible definition of the centre for New South Wales is located 33 kilometr
es (21 mi) west-north-west of Tottenham.[40]
Climate[edit]
The majority of New South Wales, west of the Great Dividing Range, has an arid t
o semi arid climate. Rainfall averages from 150 millimetres (5.9 in) to 500 mill
imetres (20 in) a year throughout most of this region and summer temperatures ca
n be scorching hot while winter nights can be freezing cold. Further east, along
the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, rainfall is higher, usually aro
und 600 millimetres (24 in) and falls fairly evenly throughout the year.[41]
Peaks along The Great Dividing Range vary from 500 metres (1,640 ft) to over 2,0
00 metres (6,562 ft) above sea level. Temperatures can be cool to cold in winter
with frequent frosts and snowfall and are rarely hot in summer due to the eleva
tion. Canberra has a climate typical of the range, as do the regional cities of
Orange and Armidale. Rainfall is moderate, from 600 millimetres (24 in) to 1,500
millimetres (59 in), falling fairly evenly throughout the year, however it peak
s slightly in the north in the summer months due to heavy thunderstorms and in t
he south in winter due to cold fronts moving across southern Australia. Snowfall
is also common in the higher parts of the range, sometimes occurring as far nor
th as the Queensland border. On the highest peaks of the Snowy Mountains, the cl
imate can be subpolar oceanic with very cold temperatures and heavy snow[41]
The climate along the flat, coastal plain east of the range varies from cool oce
anic in the south to humid subtropical in the far north of the state. Rainfall i
s highest in this area, however still varies from around 800 millimetres (31 in)
to as high as 3,000 millimetres (120 in) in the wettest areas, for example Dorr
igo. Along the southern coast, rainfall is heaviest in winter due to cold fronts
, while in the far north, around Lismore, rain is heaviest in summer from tropic
al systems and occasionally even cyclones.[41]
The highest maximum temperature recorded was 49.7 C (121 F) at Menindee in the wes
t of the state on 10 January 1939. The lowest minimum temperature was 23 C (9 F) at
Charlotte Pass in the Snowy Mountains on 29 June 1994. This is also the lowest t
emperature recorded in the whole of Australia excluding the Antarctic Territory.
