Best Answer

There was an attempt in 1803 to colonise the south coast, on Port Phillip Bay, in the state now known as Victoria. This settlement did not succeed and was abandoned less than a year later. The settlement moved across Bass Strait to Van Diemen's Land, now Tasmania. Thus, Tasmania was the second state to be settled.
