Beyond Sydney, New South Wales is the country’s premier state. It has the highest population, attracts the most visitors and has a range of experiences to offer the tourist that is unrivalled by most countries, let alone states, in the world. Breathtaking beaches and coastlines, World Heritage National Parks, a taste of the real Australian outback, snow-capped mountains, lush farming country, Aboriginal culture and dazzling city lights – all are on offer in New South Wales. With a coastline longer than the UK’s, NSW has an abundance of charming coastal villages, towns and beach resorts as the famous Hunter Valley wine growing region and the majestic Blue Mountains.

Sydney is one of our favourites here at Millington Travel. Many of our staff have visited so we have first hand knowledge we’d love to share with you. To book Sydney on it’s own or asa part of a more extensive hoiliday down-under, give us a call today.

Our top ten things to do in Sydney and New South Wales

1. Harbour Bridge Climb. For the brave, strap up and take the climb up to the summit for breathtaking views of the world’s most beautiful harbour.
2. Manly. Take the ferry from Circular Quay and leave the cityscape behind as you travel to the wonderful Pacific Ocean beach at Manly.
3. The Rocks walking tour this is ‘old’ Sydney. A maze of narrow streets full of charming pubs, galleries and boutiques and convict history.
4. The Blue Mountains. 1 million hectares of sandstone cliffs, bushland, waterfalls and eucalypt forest, and the iconic Three Sisters rock formation.

6. Surfing at Bondi Beach. Beginners lessons are available to prebook to sample this exhilerating pastime.
7. Sydney Opera House. Catch an opera, concert or ballet performance if you can, but take a tour anyway if you can’t. A must see!
8. Taronga Zoo. A ferry ride across the harbour brings you to one of the best zoo experiences to be found anywhere.
9. Explore Sydney’s Botanic Gardens. Walking trails and scenic train rides help you explore the unique flora and fauna of these stunning gardens.
10. Sail on Sydney Harbour. While the ferry to Manly is a must, a private yacht charter offers a more exquisite watery experience.
