I think most the people in Wales probably speak both, and start at the same age.

Apparently close to three-quarters of the inhabitants of Wales don't speak Welsh at all. Around 20% speak Welsh fluently (it is the least endangered of the surviving Celtic languages). Nearly all of them can also speak English.

I've never been to Wales, or to New South Wales for that matter.
