New South Wales
The first and most populous state, NSW can cater for every tourist desire, from sublime coastline and snowcapped peaks to its rugged desert interior. NSW is as well known for its man-made attractions, like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge of its capital, Sydney, as its waterways and mountain ranges. Enthralling enough to absorb weeks at a time, entire regions are devoted to wine and cuisine, culture and the arts, heritage trails and the founding of our nation.
