New South Wales

Few areas in the world can boast a more diverse range of landscapes and natural wonders than the State of New South Wales . Within the perimeters of this one State, visitors can take in the dramatic beauty of the living outback with its rich red soils, deep blue skies and hidden native flora and fauna treasures. Fly to the World Heritage-listed Lord Howe Island for a snorkelling or scuba adventure in the crystal clear waters that harbour the world's southern-most coral reef.

For a breath of fresh air the regional traveller can visit Canberra , which marks the political, historical and cultural epicentre of our nation. Yet while this area is characterised by its rich supply of national treasures surrounded by gently rolling hills and villages, it is also just a short drive from entirely different landscapes in the ski fields of New South Wales.

From farm stay holidays, to the cool relief of a lush rainforest, to exploring the State's stunning coastal drives, or sampling some of our internationally renowned wines, New South Wales indeed offers regions of many contrasts.
