Australia! In my opinion a paradise on Earth, with over 22 Million people living harmoniously in this utopian multicultural society. New South Wales (NSW), is in the south-east part of the Australian continent and is the most populous and heavily industrialised State in Australia, with a highly urbanised population.
An estimated population was 7,238,819, people call NSW their home which makes up approx. 35% of the population of Australia. In the heart of the capital city of NSW lies Sydney - with its iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge a famous tourist destination till this day.
