New South Wales boasts endless golden beaches, breathtaking natural treasures and one of the world’s most famous and vibrant cities.
New South Wales is well-known for its sparkling capital of Sydney, its seemingly endless beaches and bushland, and its sophisticated dining scene. But combine the icons with lesser-known attractions, and this east coast state becomes a destination worthy of bucket list status.
Getting to the New South Wales
Sydney is one of Australia’s most accessible cities, making New South Wales easy to explore.
International flights arrive into Sydney daily from around the world, and you can fly to Sydney from every major Australian city, as well as from regional Australia. If you’d rather stick with four wheels, New South Wales is an epic destination for road trips, with beautiful winding coastlines and endless rugged bushland to explore. The drive to Sydney takes three hours from Canberra and about nine hours from Melbourne and Brisbane.
