However, there is a strong French influence in some areas of Australia, particularly in:
* New South Wales: The Hunter Valley region has a long history of French settlement due to the early winemaking industry.
* Victoria: The Yarra Valley also has a strong French influence in its winemaking industry.
* Tasmania: The French had a significant presence in Tasmania, and some place names still reflect this influence.
Overall, while French is not an official language, there are pockets of French speakers and cultural influence throughout Australia.
