Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territories: Good ol' Tassie. I think it is almost considered as much an 'outback' as the Northern Territories. ACT speaks for itself. Although not so evident in this picture, the Northern Territories plate is actually that very particular Australian red. The national anthem refers to the nation's "golden soil", but there is no doubt that the colour that defines the nation is the red of the lettering of this plate - or the Ayers Rock red.

New South Wales: I guess the 'Toward 2000' plate refers to the Sydney Olympics. The blue plate was in commemoration of the 100 years of the Commonwealth of Australia. The First and Premier state plates are referring to the fact that NSW was the first Australian state to be established.
