New South Wales is a south-eastern state of Australia, with Sydney as it’s capital, and home to iconic imagery of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

A diverse and populous state, with a coastline of great destinations, including coastal and inland cities and towns, national parks, surfing and beaches.

There is of course some iconic and renown regions including the Australian Snowy Mountains, the rugged Blue Mountains Region – that is home to the prehistoric Wollemi Pine, temperate rainforest, the 3 Sisters and Blue Mountains (formerly Mount Tomah) Botanic Garden, Hunter Valley region (popular for its wineries), as well as our coastal regions from the Sapphire Coast and South Coast (that encompasses Batemans Bay, Eden, Jervis Bay, Merimbula, Montague Island, up through The Great Lakes, Central Coast, Mid North Coast, and Far North Coast. Inland New South Wales’s vast outback region encompassing Broken Hill, Bourke, Louth and Lightning Ridge, just to name a few of the unique and fantastic destinations.
