 New South Wales
The State of New South Wales is seven times the size of England, it is a vast area with a diverse climate ranging from the sub-tropical northern rivers region, to desert-like conditions in the far west, and the ice and snowfalls of the Snowy Mountains in the south. New South Wales has the largest population of any Australian state or territory and its capital, Sydney, has the largest population of any capital city in Australia.
The range of environments in New South Wales show the country in microcosm: rainforests abound in the north; the romance of the past is preserved along the historic Murray River, which forms the southern boundary of the state; and sparkling surf beaches dot the coast all the way to the Queensland border. New South Wales is also home to the popular alpine region of the Snowy Mountains and Kosciuszko National Park. Completing the picture is the beauty of the rugged outback.
Major highways, all within easy reach of Sydney, will lead tourists to these diverse regions. The Pacific Highway goes north from Sydney, along the coast, all the way to Queensland. The New England Highway follows an island route north from Newcastle through prime wine country in the Hunter Valley, and the regional centers of Tamworth, Armidale and Tenterfield. The Great Western Highway goes inland from Sydney and follows the dramatic landscape of wild cliffs and valleys that form the Blue Mountains. A couple of hours driving south-west along the Hume Highway reveal the charming Southern Highlands, characterized by historic towns and national parks. The Prince Highway is a coastal road going south from Sydney through the towns of Wollongong, Nowra, Batemans Bay and Bega. |
