About Travel In New South Wales
Australia’s most populous state, New South Wales, boasts great world cities and spectacular outdoors and activities. It lies on Australia’s eastern seaboard where a majority of the population is concentrated predominantly in the major cities of Sydney, Wollongong and Newcastle. The eastern seaboard is separated from the expansive outback by the Great Dividing Range of mountains which includes Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest peak.
The capital city of New South Wales is Sydney which is regarded as one of the World’s great cities. It lies on one of the most spectacular harbours in the world providing unprecedented city scapes. Sydney is also the gateway to the world heritage recognised Blue Mountains, an area that not only provides spectacular vistas but wondrous hiking and outdoor pursuits.
Agriculture plays a significant role in New South Wales and there are numerous wine producing regions that provide tourist drawcards. The most recognised of these are the Hunter Valley to the northwest of Sydney and the Riverina in New South Wales south west.
