With a unique mixture of history, varied landscapes, modern development and relaxed lifestyle, new south Wales epitomizes the script of Australia. Sydney, arguably the country's most exciting city, provides a base form which explore the state- there is dramatic scenery of the Blue and Snowy mountain ranges, timeless forest and hundreds of beaches ranging from busy Bondi to secluded coves, meandering rivers, gentle farming country, vast limestone caverns and the untamed Outback- all combining to make a destination of enormous verity. And despite New South Wales' size- it covers over 800,000squre kilometers -most of its highlights are easily accessible from Sydney. The cost has 1,900 kilometers of sunny beaches whilst less than 100klometres inland, across rich farmland, lie the picturesque towns, alpine vistas and thick forest of the Blue Mountains; the attractive vineyards in the pastoral Hunter Valley, just a couple of hours drive from Sydney, produce many excellent wines, whilst further a filed there is skiing, walking, golfing and rafting in the snowy Mountains; the south coast, wild and rugged, has secluded beaches and pretty villages; in the north part of the state, the great lakes area contains more than 1,000 square kilometers of national parks; and way out west, beyond the mountains, begins the vastness and desolation of the Outback.
