The earliest specifically engineered roads were built during the British Iron Age. The road network was expanded during the Roman occupation. Some of these survive and others were lost. New roads were added in the Middle Ages and from the 17th century onwards. Whilst control has been transferred from local to central bodies and back again, current management and development of the road network is shared between local authorities, the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the Highways Agency. Certain aspects of the legal framework remain under the competence of the United Kingdom parliament.
South Wales (Welsh:De Cymru) is the region of Wales bordered by England and the Bristol Channel to the east and south, and mid Wales and west Wales to the north and west. The most densely populated region in the southwest of the United Kingdom, it is home to around 2.2 million people. The region contains almost three-quarters of the population of Wales, including the capital city of Cardiff (population approximately 350,000), as well as Swansea and Newport, with populations approximately 240,000 and 150,000 respectively. The Brecon Beaconsnational park covers about a third of South Wales, containing Pen y Fan, the highest mountain south of Snowdonia.
The region is loosely defined, but it is generally considered to include the historic counties of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, sometimes extending westwards to include Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. In the western extent, from Swansea westwards, local people would probably recognise that they lived in both south Wales and west Wales — there is considerable overlap in these somewhat artificial boundaries. Areas to the north of the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains are generally considered part of mid Wales.
New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is a state on the east coast of Australia. It borders Queensland to the north, Victoria to the south, South Australia to the west, the Tasman Sea to the east and surrounds the whole of the Australian Capital Territory. New South Wales' capital city is Sydney, which is also the nation's most populous city. In March 2014, the estimated population of New South Wales was 7.5 million, making it Australia's most populous state. Just under two-thirds of the state's population, 4.67 million, live in the Greater Sydney area. Inhabitants of New South Wales are referred to as New South Welshmen.
The colony of New South Wales was founded in 1788. It originally comprised a much larger area of the Australian mainland and also included Lord Howe Island, New Zealand, Norfolk Island and Van Diemen's Land. During the 19th century, large areas were separated to form the British colonies of Tasmania, South Australia, New Zealand, Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory (1863).
The 1950 New South Wales 100 was a motor race staged at the Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia on 10 April 1950.
It was organised by the Australian Sporting Car Club and was contested over 25 laps, a total distance of approximately 100 miles.
The race was staged on a handicap basis with the first car, the MG J2/P of RW Fowler, scheduled to start 25 minutes before the last car, the Alta of Tony Gaze.
The race was won by Doug Whiteford driving a Ford V8 Special.
Whiteford also achieved the fastest race time, for which he was awarded the New South Wales Road Racing Championship title.
New South Wales wine is Australian wine produced in New South Wales, Australia. New South Wales is Australia's most populous state and its wine consumption far outpaces the region's wine production. The Hunter Valley, located 130km (81mi) north of Sydney, is the most well-known wine region but the majority of the state's production takes place in the Big Rivers Zone-Perricoota, Riverina and along the Darling and Murray Rivers. The wines produced from the Big Rivers zone are largely used in box wine and mass-produced wine brands such as Yellow Tail. A large variety of grapes are grown in New South Wales, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Sémillon.
New South Wales is the second-largest wine producing state in Australia, accounting for 30 percent of the A$5 billion Australian wine industry In 1994 the various wine regions within New South Wales agreed there was a need to form a peak lobby group to act as the conduit between industry and the New South Wales Government, and to represent New South Wales at the Federal level through the Winemakers Federation of Australia Inc. This body is the New South Wales Wine Industry Association.

NSW Police Minister ‘again at the centre of a storm’ over weapons images
Sky News host Chris Kenny says NSW Police Minister David Elliott is “facing calls for him to resign” as he is yet again “at the centre of a storm” over his latest actions.
Mr Elliott could face criminal charges after photographs posted on social media showed him firing two prohibited weapons without a licence.
The NSW police force said it reviewed the images and would conduct an investigation to determine if Mr Elliott, or the shooting range, had broken the law.
In a statement Mr Elliott said, “I acted in good faith under the assumption that Corrective Services had complied with all of its administrative requirements”.
“He's had a bad run of late … no wonder his future is in doubt.” Mr Kenny said.

The NSW Police Force has deployed 500 smart phones; representing a significant step forward in real-time policing.
NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione and Minister for Police and Emergency Services Stuart Ayres officially launched the pilot program today (Monday 23 February 2015), which was developed by NSW Police Strategic Technologies & Planning and Business & Technology Services.
The devices have been deployed to operational police within local area commands and region enforcement squads across the state as well as specialist units including the Police Transport Command, Traffic & Highway Patrol Command, Motorcycle Response Unit, Mounted Unit, Dog Unit and the State Crime Command’s Gangs Squad.
The Domestic and Family Violence Team will also utilise the device as part of the evidence gathering process during domestic violence related incidents.
Police will be able to perform background checks on vehicles and persons of interest using the device. They can also be used to send text messages, make phone calls and access the internet.
In addition, the device has in-built GPS capabilities reinforcing officer safety during emergencies.
The device also includes a stylus for note-taking, meaning the officer’s handwriting is automatically converted to text. Its ability to run multiple programs simultaneously means officers are able to take notes while conducting checks at the same time.
Should the device be lost or stolen, data stored on the phone can be wiped remotely to safeguard against any security risk involving sensitive information.
Commissioner Scipione said the devices would advance the NSW Police Force’s real-time policing capabilities and efficiency, while improving the safety of operational police in their daily duties.
“I welcome these devices and their capabilities into the NSW Police Force,” Commissioner Scipione said.
“Policing can be a dangerous job and this device means officers can perform checks on the spot and gain operational information that could prove pertinent during high-risk situations.
“The device will also save officers time by streamlining their daily duties as it eliminates the need for officers to return to their vehicle to access information.
“Officers from the Police Transport Command and Traffic & Highway Patrol Command will benefit greatly from this device particularly during high-visibility operations.
“Most importantly, this technology will help police fight and prevent crime in our community and I look forward to seeing its positive effect on operational policing throughout the coming weeks,” Commissioner Scipione said.
Minister Ayres said police will be able to access systems using the device which allows them to operate more efficiently and work in real-time.
“We’re committed to ensuring our frontline police officers have the tools and technology they need to combat crime in a modern society,” Minister Ayres said.
“We will continue working with police to ensure they have the powers and resources they need to keep our communities safe.”

"Road tragedy has no boundaries and that is why the Government has decided we need to move away from the LAC based approach to Highway Patrol deployment.
"The new centralised Command will be headed by Assistant Commissioner John Hartley, and will have road safety as its primary focus.
"Our new structure will still ensure that officers are available to attend to urgent or life-threatening situations, but there should be less diversion of Highway Patrol officers to general duties.
"Many Highway Patrol officers will continue to be physically located in Local Area Commands, but their tasking's will now be coordinated by the new Traffic and Highway Patrol Command instead of by LACs.
Minister Gallacher said the Government has ensured the new Command will be supported through the delivery of a number of election and Budget commitments including 100 additional Highway Patrol officers, 50 new vehicles, and for improved traffic technology.
Minister Gallacher said the Government sees a number of significant benefits flowing from the new structure, namely:
· More Highway Patrol officers out on the roads -- which will help improve road safety by deterring dangerous driving; as well as improve response times to major traffic incidents;
· Less diversion of Highway Patrol officers to general duties;
· More strategic deployment of Highway Patrol officers and better linking of Highway Patrol tasking's to state-wide road safety priorities;
· More training and promotional opportunities for Highway officers -- which will help attract and retain officers to this area of policing; and
· Reducing some of the duplication that may occur if road safety activities and operations are pursued locally rather than centrally.
NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said he welcomed the announcement by the Government as a positive approach to tackling road safety.
"I have been working with senior police to put in place this new Command which commences today in the lead up to the busy Christmas period.
"The NSW Police Force trialled this new Command operational structure over the Easter long weekend and following evaluation of this trial we are now in a position to make the structure permanent
"Staff consultation will start immediately, but will occur in earnest after the completion of the two major Christmas and Holiday road safety traffic operations in December and January.
"Furthermore, a new Operational Planning and Performance Unit has been established within the new Command, and it has already created an electronic 'Request for Assistance' program on the Command's intranet site.
Commissioner Scipione said the new model will allow Local Area Commands to log road safety issues and seek additional Highway Patrol assistance as required.
Mr Gallacher said the Government has committed $3.6 million to install an additional 100 Mobile Automatic Number Plate Recognition units in Highway Patrol vehicles.
"This is in addition to the $1.37 million already provided to fund the current roll-out of Mobile ANPR; and it will be matched by another $3.6 million next year.
"The new Command will put Highway Patrol officers out on the road -- where they community expects them to be, and where they need to be," Minister Gallacher concluded.
The transition to the new Traffic and Highway Patrol Command formally commences today, and is expected to be complete by 2014.

The device also includes a stylus for note-taking, meaning the officer’s handwriting is automatically converted to text. Its ability to run multiple programs simultaneously means officers are able to take notes while conducting checks at the same time.
Should the device be lost or stolen, data stored on the phone can be wiped remotely to safeguard against any security risk involving sensitive information.
Commissioner Scipione said the devices would advance the NSW Police Force’s real-time policing capabilities and efficiency, while improving the safety of operational police in their daily duties.
“I welcome these devices and their capabilities into the NSW Police Force,” Commissioner Scipione said.
“Policing can be a dangerous job and this device means officers can perform checks on the spot and gain operational information that could prove pertinent during high-risk situations.
“The device will also save officers time by streamlining their daily duties as it eliminates the need for officers to return to their vehicle to access information.
“Officers from the Police Transport Command and Traffic & Highway Patrol Command will benefit greatly from this device particularly during high-visibility operations.
“Most importantly, this technology will help police fight and prevent crime in our community and I look forward to seeing its positive effect on operational policing throughout the coming weeks,” Commissioner Scipione said.
Minister Ayres said police will be able to access systems using the device which allows them to operate more efficiently and work in real-time.
“We’re committed to ensuring our frontline police officers have the tools and technology they need to combat crime in a modern society,” Minister Ayres said.
“We will continue working with police to ensure they have the powers and resources they need to keep our communities safe.”
Sky News host Chris Kenny says NSW Police Minister David Elliott is “facing calls for him to resign” as he is yet again “at the centre of a storm” over his latest actions.
Mr Elliott could face criminal charges after photographs posted on social media showed him firing two prohibited weapons without a licence.
The NSW police force said it reviewed the images and would conduct an investigation to determine if Mr Elliott, or the shooting range, had broken the law.
In a statement Mr Elliott said, “I acted in good faith under the assumption that Corrective Services had complied with all of its administrative requirements”.
“He's had a bad run of late … no wonder his future is in doubt.” Mr Kenny said.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services Michael Gallacher today announced the establishment of a new, stand-alone Traffic and Highway Patrol Command.
"The NSW Government believe that having more police out on the roads is the best deterrent to dangerous driving," Minister Gallacher said.
"One of the key changes is the removal of Local Area Commands boundaries for the purposes of deploying Highway Patrol Officers.
"Road tragedy has no boundaries and that is why the Government has decided we need to move away from the LAC based approach to Highway Patrol deployment.
"The new centralised Command will be headed by Assistant Commissioner John Hartley, and will have road safety as its primary focus.
"Our new structure will still ensure that officers are available to attend to urgent or life-threatening situations, but there should be less diversion of Highway Patrol officers to general duties.
"Many Highway Patrol officers will continue to be physically located in Local Area Commands, but their tasking's will now be coordinated by the new Traffic and Highway Patrol Command instead of by LACs.
Minister Gallacher said the Government has ensured the new Command will be supported through the delivery of a number of election and Budget commitments including 100 additional Highway Patrol officers, 50 new vehicles, and for improved traffic technology.
Minister Gallacher said the Government sees a number of significant benefits flowing from the new structure, namely:
· More Highway Patrol officers out on the roads -- which will help improve road safety by deterring dangerous driving; as well as improve response times to major traffic incidents;
· Less diversion of Highway Patrol officers to general duties;
· More strategic deployment of Highway Patrol officers and better linking of Highway Patrol tasking's to state-wide road safety priorities;
· More training and promotional opportunities for Highway officers -- which will help attract and retain officers to this area of policing; and
· Reducing some of the duplication that may occur if road safety activities and operations are pursued locally rather than centrally.
NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said he welcomed the announcement by the Government as a positive approach to tackling road safety.
"I have been working with senior police to put in place this new Command which commences today in the lead up to the busy Christmas period.
"The NSW Police Force trialled this new Command operational structure over the Easter long weekend and following evaluation of this trial we are now in a position to make the structure permanent
"Staff consultation will start immediately, but will occur in earnest after the completion of the two major Christmas and Holiday road safety traffic operations in December and January.
"Furthermore, a new Operational Planning and Performance Unit has been established within the new Command, and it has already created an electronic 'Request for Assistance' program on the Command's intranet site.
Commissioner Scipione said the new model will allow Local Area Commands to log road safety issues and seek additional Highway Patrol assistance as required.
Mr Gallacher said the Government has committed $3.6 million to install an additional 100 Mobile Automatic Number Plate Recognition units in Highway Patrol vehicles.
"This is in addition to the $1.37 million already provided to fund the current roll-out of Mobile ANPR; and it will be matched by another $3.6 million next year.
"The new Command will put Highway Patrol officers out on the road -- where they community expects them to be, and where they need to be," Minister Gallacher concluded.
The transition to the new Traffic and Highway Patrol Command formally commences today, and is expected to be complete by 2014.
The earliest specifically engineered roads were built during the British Iron Age. The road network was expanded during the Roman occupation. Some of these survive and others were lost. New roads were added in the Middle Ages and from the 17th century onwards. Whilst control has been transferred from local to central bodies and back again, current management and development of the road network is shared between local authorities, the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the Highways Agency. Certain aspects of the legal framework remain under the competence of the United Kingdom parliament.
