If the instinct for adventure travel runs in your blood, New South Wales is your natural habitat. It’s got the lot - diversity of terrains and weather that will give you plenty of choice of adventure activities as well as easy access to them. Whether your idea of outdoor fun involves skiing in the Snowy Mountains, boating, hiking and bushwalking in the Blue Mountains or Barrington Tops or driving on a scenic outback tour, NSW can make it happen.
Is fishing your addiction? The oceans, lakes, rivers and estuaries around NSW offer a lifetime’s worth of challenges. Boating? Take a relaxing houseboat holiday on the placid waters of Myall Lakes or the Murray River or go wild and experience thrills at the other extreme with a ride on a raging, white water river.
