New South Wales

Australia’s most visited state, New South Wales partly owes its popularity with tourists to the glamorous city of Sydney. With its harbor beaches and intoxicating blend of bushland and bustling city, Sydney is a perfect snapshot of Australia. Beyond the glow of Sydney, New South Wales becomes a sweeping landscape of quaint, beachside hamlets, inland opal-mining towns, and alpine hideaways. Visitors can take a surfing lesson on one of the world’s most renowned beaches or get intimate with Sydney – whether by a walking tour of the Rocks area, a visit to Sydney’s fish market or dinner at one of the city’s famed restaurants.

Easily accessible from Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley provide a diverse array of opportunities ranging from stunning natural beauty to sophisticated culinary experiences. The Blue Mountains are a naturalist and adventurer’s delight – learn about Aboriginal mythology, marvel at the Three Sisters rock formation, or gear up for a bush walk or 4WD eco-tour. The Hunter Valley offers world-class wineries where you can enjoy some of the finest vintages and culinary treasures Australia has to offer.
