Originally, New South Wales included the whole of the Australian mainland east of current [[Western Australia]]. When new colonies were founded in [[Brisbane]], [[Adelaide]] and [[Melbourne]], sections of New South Wales were carved out to be adminstered by the new colonies as [[Queensland]], [[South Australia]] and [[Victoria]], respectively. The [[Northern Territory]] was also carved out to be adminstered initially by the South Australian government. Modern day New South Wales is the fourth largest of Australia's six states.

Stuart Peterson explored the region in great length in 1839. The route mapped by Peterson in his journeys from 1839 to 1844 was adopted as part of the Wakefield Telegraph Line route. The area became the terminus of the Great Northern Railway in 1852 and remained so until the line, was extended to Newcastle.
The current boundaries of the state are with Victoria to the south, South Australia to the west and Queensland to the north. It also completely surrounds the [[Australian Capital Territory]] and the land side of the [[Jervis Bay Territory]].
