New South Wales A -Z Highlights

New South Wales (NSW) is a state located on the east coast of Australia. It borders Queensland to the north, Victoria to the south, South Australia to the west, the Tasman Sea to the east and surrounds the whole of the Australian Capital Territory. New South Wales’ capital city is Sydney, which is also the nation’s most populous city.

New South Wales is rich in history, landscapes and contrasts. It’s home to sophisticated Sydney, where there is a profusion of beautiful beaches, the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Explore New South Wales and drive north for the coastal jewels of Coffs Harbour and Byron Bay, or south to swim with dolphins in Jervis Bay or whale watching on the Sapphire Coast. You can also explore the Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest wine growing region, the Great Lakes District of Lake Macquarie and Forster/Tuncurry and the surfing mecca villages dotted along the coastline of the North Coast.

My travels through New South Wales has mainly comprised of following the coastline, however I have ventured inland on a few occasions. There are many beautiful regions inland including the majestic Blue Moutains, the Snowy Mountains, Country NSW and Outback NSW. It looks as though another caravan trip could be on the cards!

      Thanks Toni, I’m glad you enjoyed my A-Z of NSW. X and Z are always a challenge. You just have use your imagine! :)

    Remember the fictional novel I was writing? I based it around Eden and Narooma. My favourite places in Australia! I’ve only been twice but they’re hard to get out of your mind they’re so pretty.

      The South Coast of NSW is extremely pretty. It was lush and green with beautiful beaches and countryside. I can see why you would want to base a novel here. :)

    What a clever idea for a post Kathy. A list to check off once we get that caravan. My favourite photos are the beautiful shots of Old Bar – so tranquil.

      Thanks Jenny. However we have barely touched the surface of New South Wales. There is so much inland to see. I like the shots of Old Bar too. We stayed here in our caravan a few years ago. :)

    Well, I loved the manly ferry and the bridge – such a great shot. Redhead looks amazing – is that a Surf Club on the beach?

      The manly ferry trip is an absolute must do when you visit Sydney. I do love Sydney, but wouldn’t want to live there. Redhead was and amazing beach and yes that is the Redhead Surf Club. New South Wales does have a lot to offer the traveller and we would like to explore it some more. :)

    These are great photos – I spent a few weeks in NSW last year and loved it. You’ve definitely given me some ideas of where to go on my next trip!

      Hi Ruth, our trips down the NSW coast have mainly been short caravan trips and we have spent a lot of time on the Northern NSW Coast. However, during our big Australian trip we explored the South Coast of NSW and thought it was amazing. Next time we intend going inland and exploring a few other gems in NSW. Thank you for dropping by my blog. :)

    A fabulous reminder of the reasons to get out of the city…so many great places to see. In 2014 I joined the A to Z blogging challenge and blogged daily according to a theme and the alphabet. I always though I would do this on WA but the thought of everyday blogging was too much. This post would be a great base for you to use in next April’s challenge…just a thought!!

      I have already done an A-Z for West Australia and also one for Queensland. Blogging every day would be a huge challenge. I’m not sure I would be up for it! Thanks for dropping by my blog. :)

    You have been all over Australia! You have to give me a private tour someday!

      We have been all over Australia Ruth! There are lots of parts in the centre of Australia however that we haven’t visited. It’s pretty desolate in the centre. I would love to give you a tour – have you got 12 months? :)

    Great selection, Kathy!! I laughed when I got to the last one – the Chillingham Fruit & Veg stall missed out by a whisker from being in my loo book because they didn’t get back to me about using my pic of their outdoor dunny!! Maybe next time!!

    • Kathy

      Thanks Red. What a shame you didn’t get Chillingham in your book. It is a gorgeous little village. Looking at New South Wales and its wide variety of places to see, it really made me think that we have a lot more exploring to do. Like I said earlier, we have barely touched the surface of some of the inland areas. :)
