Division of Robertson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Robertson is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of New South Wales. The Division is located on the Central Coast, immediately north of the Hawkesbury River. It encompasses the towns of Woy Woy, Gosford and Terrigal.
The Division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 75 divisions to be contested at the first Federal election. The Division was named after Sir John Robertson, fifth Premier of New South Wales. The seat is currently a fairly safe Liberal seat.
