Updates: Geopolitical Entities, Names, and Codes treats the island territories as separate countries. It assigns them the codes XA and XAC for Ashmore and Cartier Islands, and XC and XCS for Coral Sea Islands Territory. Due to some confusion at the ISO, there were at least three different versions of ISO 3166-2 Newsletter Number I-6 posted online. They differ in regard to Australia and Tunisia. The correct version has been posted since about 2006-05-09. I mention it in case anyone finds a copy of one of the older versions. New South Wales doesn't have a west coast. Legally, Jervis Bay Territory and Australian Capital Territory are two separate entities. Jervis Bay is so tightly linked to the ACT that people tend to think of it as part of the ACT. Many reference books lump them together, including the CIA World Factbook.

On January 1, 1901, they united to form a single independent country, professing allegiance to the crown of England.

The island territories are treated as countries by GEC. In postal addresses, use all capitals and no period. A few resort islands in Queensland, and all of Western Australia, have observed daylight saving time in some recent summers. Broken Hill, New South Wales has sometimes followed South Australian time. Other codes: Australian postal codes are four digits. With a few exceptions, the state can be deduced from the first one or two digits. The exceptions are cases where a city is served from a distribution center in a neighboring state. The Australian telephone numbering system has recently been reformed. Effective in 1997, there are four area codes, each serving a whole state or states. All local telephone numbers are eight digits. This replaces the old system, in which both the city access codes and the local numbers were variable in length. Before the area code, dial 0 from another Australian telephone, or your international access code followed by 61 from other countries. Territories with a blank in this column have a +672 international prefix. They include codes for several levels of subdivision. Note: in the Typ column, I have used c to denote territories that have their own country code in ISO 3166-1. Further subdivisions: See the page. There are about 900 units of local government. In different parts of the country, they are called boroughs, cities, district councils, municipalities, shires, or towns. There are also some unincorporated areas. Most reference works include it in A. These islands are referred to as a territory, but they are uninhabited and are administered as part of Northern Territory. I have given them a separate line in the table to be able to show their GEC code. Queensland's eastern border includes the Great Barrier Reef. The dividing line between the islands in the Bass Strait that belong to Victoria and those that belong to Tasmania is the parallel of 39° 12' South. Almost all of the islands, as far north as the Hogan Group, thus belong to Tasmania. Boundary Islet is cut by the dividing parallel, and contains the entire 85-meter land boundary between Tasmania and Victoria. The only settlement in this territory is a weather station on Willis Island. It is administered from Kingston, Norfolk Island. There is no indication in ISO 3166-2 of where this territory is assigned. In addition, Australian Antarctic Territory is claimed by Australia but is listed under Antarctica in this book. The for Australia lists locations in the country, some of them with their latitudes and longitudes, some with their ISO 3166-2 codes for their subdivisions. This information can be put together to approximate the territorial extent of subdivisions. Name of capital of Northern Territory changed from Palmerston to Darwin. Federal Capital Territory Canberra section split from New South Wales as a territory. In fact, it was legally a separate territory from this time forth, but it was so closely linked to Canberra that most people treated them as one. Name of Federal Capital Territory changed to Australian Capital Territory. The former ISO codes, where different from the present ones, were: CT for Australian Capital Territory, NS for New South Wales, QL for Queensland, TS for Tasmania, and VI for Victoria. For all other years, population of Jervis Bay and other territories is included with A. Censuses up to and including 1961 did not count the aboriginal population. Moreover, I wasn't able to find an explanation on the ABS site of how the figures fit together. For 1991, 1996, and 2001, the total of the populations of the eight states and territories didn't add up to the population given for all of Australia. Probably all or almost all of these people would be in Jervis Bay territory, so I added them in with Australian Capital Territory. Parts 2 and 3 of this document explain how to refer to the various states and territories when drafting legislation. There is also a map at that gives mouseover populations; the figures there differ slightly from the other page.
