New South Wales: National Parks, Blue Mountains & South Coast Adventures

New South Wales (NSW) is home to some of Australia’s most spectacular NSW national parks, scenic coastal drives, and unforgettable hiking trails. Having lived near Sydney for more than 30 years, we’ve explored much of the state, from the iconic Blue Mountains walking tracks and the ancient granite formations of Bald Rock National Park to the rugged beauty of Warrumbungles National Park. We also love the South Coast of NSW, with its pristine beaches, coastal walks, wildlife, and relaxed seaside towns. Here you’ll find our favourite places, walks, and practical travel tips for exploring New South Wales independently.

Hiking : Blue Mountains, Warrumbungles NP & Bald Rock

Discover the best of New South Wales on foot. Hike through the spectacular Blue Mountains, climb Australia’s largest exposed granite rock at Bald Rock, and explore the rugged landscapes and star-filled skies of Warrumbungles National Park. From easy walks to full-day adventures, NSW offers unforgettable experiences for every nature lover.

Exploring the South Coast: Beaches, Walks & Playing Golf

The NSW South Coast stretches more than 470 kilometres from Sydney to the Victorian border. It is known for its beautiful white beaches, stunning national parks, and relaxed coastal towns. The region is a popular destination for hiking, camping, water sports, and wildlife watching, offering visitors a perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty.
