BLUE MOUNTAINS

Looking for a great holiday destination where you can get the big city buzz plus great beaches, outdoor lifestyle and World Heritage national parks?

New South Wales, the oldest and biggest state in Australia, is just the place. Enjoy Sydney's rich cosmopolitan lifestyle, its fine restaurants and cool shopping, as well as the natural beauty of its world famous harbour. Then take a detour from the city hype to soak up the local flavours of the regions of New South Wales. Laze on a long, sandy beach, hike in the high country, make a journey to the red outback, soothe your soul in one of the State's many World Heritage national parks, follow the leisurely drives through country New South Wales, stopping in small towns and villages along the way. Be amazed by the quality of local food and wine, kick your heels up at lively festivals and events, discover Aboriginal heritage tours, see amazing landscapes and meet the friendly locals.
