So you have a database named Default?

Probably not a good name because:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/sql-createdatabase.html

template
The name of the template from which to create the new database, or 
DEFAULT to use the default template (template1).

So at a guess you are actually creating the new database from template1.
