Welcome to New South Wales.
New South Wales is Australia's oldest state. It was named in 1770 by Captain James Cook who, after falsely proclaiming that the land was uninhabited, claimed it for Britain.
On 26 January 1788 the First Fleet, eleven ships commanded by Captain Arthur Phillip, arrived in Botany Bay.
Some time in the first decade of the 20th century, Isadore Stanislaw Hermanns, my grandfather, arrived. And as they say, the rest is history
