DESTINATION GUIDES

New South Wales

NSW, Australia

Experience the diversity and delights of New South Wales, Australia’s eastern state and home to its famous capital city Sydney.

New South Wales has something to offer every visitor from breathtaking coastlines, stunning national parks, dazzling city skylines, harsh outback vistas to lush rolling countryside.

Visitors to this multi-faceted state can experience racing down snow-capped mountains, shopping at the most exclusive boutiques, hiking virtually untouched pathways through lush forests and experiencing Australia’s cultural heritage in the red dust of outback settlements.

Sexy, sophisticated Sydney offers more than just the quintessential Australian icons of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Visit this vibrant city to enjoy a sumptuous array of fine dining, shopping and cultural experiences

The Northern Rivers and Tropical NSW offer a diversity of natural wonders and unspoilt beauty. Head to Byron Bay to experience Australia’s bohemian artistic lifestyle, see the first rays of the sun touch Australia at the peak of Mount Warning Shield Volcano or challenge the Clarence River’s white water if you dare.

A two hour trip from Sydney takes you to the Blue Mountains, home to dramatic canyons, caves and world-class adventure tourism experiences. This is a bushwalker’s paradise, with some of the world’s most spectacular opportunities just waiting for walkers of all abilities and interests.

Head north to the Hunter Valley to relax and enjoy lazy days of romantic retreats, dolphin and whale watching, wine tasting, fine dining and spectacular scenery. Port Stephens Bay beckons with its crystal clear waters and abundant Australian wildlife, and your senses will soar during a hot air balloon journey over the lush valleys and hills of this spectacular area of NSW.

The Southern Highlands and Illawarra offer a cool getaway location dotted with historic townsites, charming small town shopping experiences and a taste of country New South Wales. Marvel at the power of the Kiama Blowhole shooting 60 metres into the air, or wander through the Minammurra rainforest exploring its wildlife and spectacular sub-tropical scenery.

For a taste of the real outback, head west from Sydney to Broken Hill – home to heat shimmering off the red dust of Australia’s heartland, kangaroos, emus, wedge-tailed eagles and an endless horizon waiting to be explored. Stay in unique underground accommodation in White Cliffs and forage for opals beneath the sunbaked soil, or view Aboriginal ochre paintings and artworks preserved for thousands of years.

New South Wales has so much to offer visitors that it’s almost too difficult to fit into one visit. A state of diversity, heritage and modern chic just waiting for you to come and explore !
