The spectacular panoramas of the Blue Mountains, the famous vineyards of the Hunter Valley and the glorious beaches of Port Stephens are within easy reach of Sydney, making an extended stay in the city with added day tours an enticing prospect.
Those that explore further afield will be rewarded, with Byron Bay to the north and the glorious coastline to the south making fly drives by car or motorhome popular.
If you have more time on your hands, Australia’s capital city Canberra is on your doorstep and certainly worth a visit. Located in the Australian Capital Territory, this major city is culturally significant, offering a vast array of museums, galleries and historical sights to engage you in this country’s rich past.
Each region in New South Wales boasts its own attractions from sun-kissed beaches to pristine, unexplored national park. Most choose to start their holiday in Sydney, where iconic attractions sit alongside a beautiful harbour and sweeping beaches. Regional New South Wales is not to be missed – drive the Legendary Pacific Coast and explore the memorable Blue Mountains.
