New South Wales Holidays

New South Wales hero

That sprawling harbour, the world-renowned Sydney Opera House and the iconic Blue Mountains – Sydney in all its glory is often the first thing international visitors to Australia see when they fly in. But it’s just the beginning of the treasures that the state of New South Wales has to offer. Motoring out of the city, charming beach towns await both north and south of Sydney, with surf beaches and picturesque bays, the freshest of seafood and an abundance of wildlife. Look out for humpback whales migrating along the New South Wales coastline from May to November, see bottlenose dolphins in the crystal-clear waters of Jervis Bay, learn to surf in laid-back Newcastle, swim with seals off Montague Island and snorkel with a plethora of technicolour fish off the subtropical paradise that is Lord Howe Island. A New South Wales holiday offers the perfect fusion of wildlife, city culture and laid-back living.
