About New South Wales

New South Wales, often shortened to NSW, is the ultimate hub for culture vultures. Its vibrant capital city, Sydney, acts the perfect base to explore the state.

With Queensland to the north, Victoria to the south and South Australia to the west, you are surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes…

The Tasman Sea lines the east coast and has been nicknamed 'The Ditch' by both Australians and New Zealanders. This is because it acts as a crossing zone between the two countries.

New South Wales is also home to Australia’s tallest mountain, Mount Kosciuszko, and offers every type of snow sport you could imagine. What will you try this trip?

There are five World Heritage sites to discover in New South Wales, and an abundance of leisurely activities to enjoy. Sydney, commonly referred to by locals as The Harbour City, is home to star attractions like the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Bondi Beach.

What to do in New South Wales

As the country’s largest cosmopolitan city, it should come as no surprise that Sydney provides an array of dining, shopping and clubbing opportunities to suit all styles.

Potts Point and Surry Hills are two must-see hip inner city neighborhoods that guarantee a good time! Listen to live music, try a selection of street food or plot up with a beverage on a rooftop terrace.

There are long stretches of public beaches all along the east coast where everyone comes together to bask in the sun, so unless you’re a creature of habit there’s no reason not to set up in a different spot every day – hop around a little to make the most of your stay!

Check out the art culture in Chippendale, get your heart pumping with surfing and skydiving in Byron Bay or head to the Blue Mountains and walk to the foot of The Three Sisters.
