 | | New South Wales is the site of Captain Cook's original landing in Australia, and the place where the first permanent European settlement was established. |
 | | The first European settlement was established in 1788 at Sydney Cove, where the ferries run from Circular Quay today. |
 | | The Great Dividing Range also runs the length of the state, about 100km inland from the coast, and includes the New England tablelands north of Sydney, the spectacular Blue Mountains west of Sydney, and, in the south of the state, the Snowy Mountains, which offer excellent winter skiing and summer bushwalking. |
