Varied, vast and vibrant, Australia is like nowhere else on this earth. At once the world’s largest island, as big as mainland USA, and the world’s smallest continent, superlatives and expectations collide in Australia, where the ancient past is inseparable from a modern present. Defying stereotypes, Australia is always a surprise, always a delight, and above all, always an adventure.

Within this vast land are all the world’s contrasts. Hyper-sophisticated cities rise glittering into the clear blue of the Antipodean sky, pioneering the latest art and architecture, set around natural southern-ocean harbours.

Miles of deserted beach ring the coastline, sometimes rhythmic with ocean rollers, sometimes sheltered, with calm warm waters.

The Barrier Reef, off the Queensland coast, bright with day corals and flocking with kaleidoscopic fish, is one of the world’s natural wonders, protecting a mountain coast draped with untouched rainforest. In the vast inland deserts, mountains and valleys, rivers and plains are lost in a hugeness incomprehensible by man, where the ancient aboriginal cultures add a spiritual dimension to timeless landscapes.

New South Wales
New South Wales, is Australia's oldest and 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 Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. New Zealand was not initially part of the colony, although when Britain annexed New Zealand in 1840 it was briefly a part of New South Wales.[2] During the 19th century large areas were successively separated to form the British colonies of Tasmania (proclaimed as a separate colony named Van Diemen's Land in 1825), South Australia (1836), Victoria (1851) and Queensland (1859).

It shares borders with Western Australia to the west, South Australia to the south, and Queensland to the east. To the north, the territory is bordered by the Timor Sea, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Despite its large area — over 1,349,129 square kilometres (520,902 sq mi), making it the third largest Australian federal division — it is sparsely populated. With a population of 221,100 it is the least populous division on the mainland.

Prior to European settlement, some 30,000 Indigenous Australians are estimated to have lived in the area now occupied by the state. By contrast, over five million people now inhabit the region. European settlement in Victoria began in the 1830s as a farming community. The discovery of gold in 1851 transformed it into a leading industrial and commercial centre. Victoria is the second most populous Australian state, after New South Wales, with an estimated population of 5,205,200 as of June 2007[4]. Melbourne is Victoria's capital and largest city, with more than 70% of all Victorians living there.
