Nature in Country NSW
Some of the most stunning national parks in the State are in Country NSW. They include Mt Kaputar, Oxley Wild Rivers, Cathedral Rock and the amazing Warrumbungle National Park near Coonabarabran.
About Country NSW
This vast region of NSW has plenty of exciting holiday choices for all ages. Some of Australia’s oldest country towns are here, offering a taste of pioneering history that can include a trip on a paddle steamer, uncovering 19th century colonial architecture and tasting wines made from some of the first grapes ever planted in Australia.
There are many fine regional art galleries such as the Western Plains Cultural Centre at Dubbo. Regional museums are well worth a visit to learn about cultural or natural heritage such as Griffith’s Italian Museum and Shear Outback in Hay.
Natural attractions such as the Warrumbungle National Park offer world-class walks; the highest waterfall in Australia is the Wollomombi Falls in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park.
