Tailor-made New South Wales: Introduction

Whether it is the magic of an Outback sunset, trying your luck with a fishing line, wandering through a World Heritage National Park and marvelling at sacred aboriginal sites or exploring the thrilling waterfront of its capital city Sydney, New South Wales is a state of contrasts.

With its sweeping Pacific coast stretching from the subtropical Tweed Heads, to temperate Eden in the south, fringed with brilliantly squeaky white sand and clear waters heaving with fish, you can experience the sensational water-based lifestyle that is part of everyday Aussie life.

‘Go bush’, tootle through picture-postcard scenery as you savour a food and wine trail, take a hot air balloon adventure, climb mountains, follow ancient rainforest tracks and absorb the intoxicating smell of the eucalyptus and seek out the habitat of wombats, wallabies, koalas and echidnas, or just take the simple pleasures of relaxation.
