The country’s premier State is an eclectic mix of city-glamour and country-ease, coastal treasures and mountain retreats and, if that’s not enough, provides enough attractions to satisfy even the most pedantic history buffs.
Considered the birthplace of modern Australia, it was on the coast of New South Wales that Captain Cook first set foot many, many moons ago. While Sydney’s spectacular harbor is arguably the best in the world, and its museums state of the art; the State has much to offer beyond the glitz of its celebrated capital city.
The hazy rainforests of the Washpool National Park are Heritage listed, as is the temperate rainforest at the base of the renowned Blue Mountains; both providing some fantastic bushwalking opportunities. A wine tour to the gorgeous Hunter Valley should also be on your itinerary; the Hunter offers the perfect week end away and is easily reached within 2 hours from Sydney.
Australia’s first State plays host to an array of wonderful Bed and Breakfast stays, the best choice of accommodation on your next trip.
