There is no Australian State named after a scientist.
The six Australian States are:
- Queensland (named in honour of Queen Victoria who reigned at the time);
- New South Wales (named after Wales in Great Britain);
- Victoria (again named after Queen Victoria);
- South Australia (geographical location);
- Western Australia (geographical location);
- Tasmania (named after explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman who first named it Van Diemen's land);
Another possibility:
However, if the question means which Australian state capital was named after a scientist, the answer is Darwin,capital of the Northern Territory.
