No. The first penal colony in New South Wales was Sydney Cove, at Port Jackson. After a short time, it became known simply as Sydney.
Tasmania was the second region to be settled as a penal colony, in 1804. This is apart from the convict camp established for particularly hardened criminals in 1801 in the area now known as Newcastle (originally King's Town).
