Dear ollyinozy-ga:

According to statistics from the Australian Department of Immigration
and Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs:

"The 1996 distribution by State and Territory showed New South Wales
had the largest number with 5,992 followed by Victoria (3,149),
Queensland (1,834) and Western Australia (1,076)."
http://www.immi.gov.au/statistics/infosummary/textversion/spain.htm

The PDF version of that article is available from the Australian
Department of Immigration at the following location:
http://www.immi.gov.au/statistics/infosummary/spain.pdf

So, to answer the first part of your question, New South Wales is the
Australian state with the largest Spanish community.

As for the second part of your question, I would assume that there is
at least some Spanish presence in each and every town in the New South
Wales terroritories. I have, however, found a list of resources on the
cities and towns in the New South Wales area so you can find more
information:

Charles Sturt University has a good guide to resources online where
you can find information on the New South Wales Territories. I have
linked to the section on Towns below:

I hope this answers your questions! If you need any clarifications at
all, please don't hesitate to ask for it. I would be more than happy
to assist you further. =)

New South Wales is the largest state in Australia and Sydney is the
largest city in NSW.

It is not a great leap that Sydney has the largest Spanish community.

Some other things you might want to try

http://www.whitepages.com.au
Australian online phone book. Search for Spain or Spanish you will
receive
- Spanish consulates
- Spanish community clubs
- Spanish media such as Television & Newspapers
- Spanish churches etc

As a resident of Sydney, a very multicultural city, and does have
enclaves of various cultures. Fairfield & Marrickville suburbs of
Sydney have specific representation of Spanish speaking people. ( Not
neccesarily from Spain )
