Thousands of years there lived a lot of Aboriginal tribes . Europeans arrived here from Sydney in 1788 ., although the name was given to this place by Captain Cook 18 years ago, during his first voyage: indeed, the cliffs that skirted the Cook, moving to the present Sydney, are very similar to the rocks of the Cambrian coast in the British Wales . The first settlers farmed and landed and until the early 20th century, the state's economy depended heavily on natural resources, but then the focus shifted to the heavy industry . And today the economic sector, information technology and tourism are developing here. .
