Eastern Division (New South Wales)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eastern Division of New South Wales can refer to either one of two school divisions in the NSW education system or one of three cadastral divisions of New South Wales for land management purposes.
The Eastern division of New South Wales is one of the two school divisions of New South Wales.[1]
The Eastern Division schools generally return to school one week earlier than their Western Division counterparts. This is historical and could have been due to higher temperatures in the Western Suburbs during that time of year. In addition, there is reference to the division of NSW in the Teachers Salaries and Conditions Award with respect to Climatic Disability.[2]
There is no known map or explicit demarcation of its boundary. A source describes the line of division:
...upon or to the west of a line starting from a point on the right bank of the Murray River opposite Swan Hill (Victoria), and thence by straight lines passing through the following towns or localities in the order stated, viz., Conargo, Coleambally, Hay, Rankins Springs, Marsden, Condobolin, Peak Hill, Nevertire, Gulargambone, Coonabarabran, Wee Waa, Moree, Warialda, Ashford and Bonshaw[3]
