New South Wales
When many people think of New South Wales, the first thing that springs to mind is Sydney. And that's fair enough - it is after all a very beautiful city, and home of the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras as well as host of the 2002 Gay Games. However, right across New South Wales you'll discover places that hold certain pleasures to suit anyone's holiday tastes.
In the Central West, look for the gold rush towns of Sofala and Hill End, and sample the superb food and wine of the Cowra-Orange-Mudgee district. Enjoy the glorious colours of autumn in the state’s North West and visit Tamworth for the country music festival. In the Blue Mountains you can indulge your taste for romance, drink in the clear mountain air, walk through the world-famous bushland or just relax in front of a roaring log fire.
The Central Coast is a great weekend escape, and for a slice of the good life, look no further than the Hunter Valley, just north of Sydney. Stretching from Port Stephens to Coffs Harbour and inland to Dorrigo, the North Coast of NSW offers some stunning national parks and beautiful beaches, while Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers area of NSW offers a sub-tropical paradise with a unique lifestyle and unsurpassed natural attractions. For a natural high, you can't top the Snowy Mountains. During winter the region is an alpine wonderland - offering the best skiing in Australia. In summer, chill out and explore the pristine mountain scenery.
And just a few hours south from Sydney, you'll find a charming strip of unspoilt coastline offering pristine beaches, picturesque seaside towns and quaint rural villages. Stretching from Berry to Eden, the South Coast contains no less than 10 separate national and marine parks.
