New South Wales - The next 11 Hot Spots

By Jenny Brewer

11. Kosciusko National Park

The largest national park in New South Wales, Kosciusko National Park is known for its Snowy River and ski fields. There are a variety of walks for all fitness levels which will take you into cave systems, gorges, lookouts and through incredible scenery. As Kosciusko has the highest mountains in Australia the drives are breathtaking as is the camping and bushwalking. This is a unique and captivating part of Australia.

12. Tamworth

Known as the Country Music capital of Australia, Tamworth is located on the west side of the Great Dividing Range, on the New England Highway. Apart from the Country Music Festival, which draws followers from all over the globe, there are plenty of attractions that will keep you coming back. The Peel River offers plenty of fantastic fishing and boating spots, and the Moonbi Range located next to the city is a great place to explore and hike. Of course, there is horse riding for every age, rodeos and plenty of shopping.

13. Bega

Famous for its cheese and wine, Bega is located on the Sapphire Coast and is perfect for the traveller searching for a rolling country town that is close to everything. The Bega Cheese Heritage Centre is a must plus the Grevillea Winery and Spiral Gallery. Bega is also central to natural attractions such as the Ben Boyd and Mimosa National Parks, and the Wallaga and Merimbula Lakes. Drive to Tathra on the coast and enjoy the sapphire blue waters that make the coast so popular.

14. Dubbo

Known more for its famous Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo is located on the Macquarie River just off the Mitchell Highway, almost in central New South Wales. There are plenty of attractions such as the Dundullimal Homestead, Dubbo Military Museum, Old Dubbo Gaol, Courthouse and of course the Zoo, which features over 800 animal species. There is so much to see within the city and surrounds, or you can just laze about by the river and enjoy the peace and quiet.

15. Bathurst

Only two hours enjoyable drive from Sydney on the Mitchell Highway, Bathurst is most famous for its annual motor race on Mount Panorama. There is something for everyone, with gold fossicking, wineries, sheep shearing and festivals. There are plenty of historic buildings, such as the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, as this is one of Australias oldest inland cities. Close by are the Abercrombie Caves which is a unique limestone cave system popular with locals and tourists. Bathurst has atmosphere, history and is a must on your list of places to see.

16. Broken Hill

In the far west of New South Wales you will discover Broken Hill. This well known and large mining town is known for its silver, lead and zinc, and also has an expansive sheep industry. One of the attractions is the dry outback that surrounds this town in comparison to the leafy gardens and parks.North of Broken Hill is also the Mundi Mundi Plain which stretches right out to the coast of Western Australia. There are plenty of walks to take to explore this historical town or visit the Keenan lookout to see the city from a distance. Expect long roads, dusty plains and an experience you will never forget.

17. Lightning Ridge

One of the most famous opal mining towns in Australia, Lightning Ridge has a lot to offer. It is home to the prized black opal, which draws people fromfar and wide to try some fossicking for themselves.There are a number of old mines and mineral bathing pools that are popular to unwind in. Wander through the souvenir shops or watch an opal cutting demonstration. 18. Tweed Heads The closest city to the Queensland border, Tweed Heads is known for its clubs, restaurants, resorts and fantastic beaches. With Mt Warning in the hinterland, this is a fantastic base for a relaxing coastal holiday with great proximity to the Queensland beaches, yet also close to attractions such as Tropical Fruit World,the Melaleuca Tea Tree Plantation and the Condong Sugar Mill. With its neighbour Coolangatta so close they are known as Twin Towns,this is a top destination.

19. Pokolbin

Located in the heart of the Hunter Valley just two hours from Sydney, Polkolbin draws visitors from near and far for its wineries, climate and scenery. Many of the wineries are open to the public and offer tours, balloon rides and wine tasting and cheese making. The Brokenback mountains are also an incredible backdrop as you drive through this picturesque town. With Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, Barrington Tops and Newcastle all within driving distance, it is one of our top places to stay.

20. Jindabyne

Thousands flocks from all over the world to visit Jindabyne, not only because it is at the heart of the magnificent snowy mountains, but because it is only thirty minutes from the famous Perisher and Thredbo ski fields. It is a fantastic base to visit the area, with plenty of caravan parks and accommodation available. During the warmer months there are scenic drives that wind through the mountains, and horse riding for all ages. The Eucumbene Trout Farm is a great place for some fishing.

21. Lord Howe Island

World heritage listed Lord Howe Island is one of the most beautiful and untouched islands you will find. With incredible diving, fishing,bushwalking, cycling (no driving here!) and unique wildlife and landscapes, your trip here will bring memories that will last forever. Climb the impressionable Mt Gower, feed the fish at Neds Beach or swim to Mutton Island. There is something to do here for everyone.
