New England (Australia)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! New England or New England North West is the name given to a generally undefined region about 60 kilometres inland, that includes the Northern Tablelands or New England Tablelands region in the north of the state of New South Wales, Australia. The region has been occupied by Indigenous Australians for thousands of years, notably in the west were the Kamilaroi people. In the highlands, the original languages, which are now extinct, were Anaiwan (or Nganaywana) to the south of Guyra and Ngarrabal and Marabal to the north of Guyra. The first European person to explore the New England area was English explorer John Oxley, who crossed the southern part of the New England Range near the Apsley Falls before he discovered and named Port Macquarie in 1818. In 1827 Allan Cunningham travelled north along the western edge of the Range until he reached the Darling Downs in Queensland. In 1831 Thomas Mitchell (explorer) reached Wallamoul Station near Tamworth and explored to the Namoi River then followed it to Narrabri. Moving on Mitchell found a deep, broad river which was the Gwydir.
