According to research at the University of New South Wales, based in Sydney, the most common place for tsunamis to occur in Australia is New South Wales. Of the 145 tsunamis experienced along the coastline of the Australian continent in the last 140 years, 57 have been in New South Wales. Tasmania was next with 40 tsunamis, while there were 26 in Queensland and another 23 in Western Australia.
