New South Wales is the most populated state in Australia and with so much on offer it is easy to see why. Sophisticated Sydney is one of the most beautiful and iconic cities in the world. The more active among you will find there are plenty of fine beaches for sunning and surfing and the Snowy Mountains for hiking and skiing; the more laid-back may prefer discovering the excellent wine region of the Hunter Valley and the majestic Blue Mountains.

The Australian Capital Territory is set between the Great Dividing Range and the coast and is home to Australia’s capital, Canberra. This small territory is often bypassed but can be an excellent addition to any trip, set on Lake Burley Griffin there are many attractions that encapsulate Australian culture and lifestyle.
