Bordering the lesser-known Australian Capital Territory and Queensland, this New South Wales travel guide will take you from the well sought-after Byron Bay to the Great Dividing Range to showcase the must-see places of NSW in all their glory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you consider yourself a wine connoisseur or are partial to a glass now and again, a trip in NSW\u2019s Hunter Valley will take you to 150 wineries that will have you tasting some of the finest Australia\u2019s wines. While in Blue Mountains National Park, the highest of the Great Dividing Range, you\u2019ll find walking trails that take you in search of waterfalls and in winter, in search of the best snow for your skiing trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To put things into perspective and to understand just how diverse New South Wales travel is, look no further than the world-class Bondi Beach, where sunshine, white sand and clear waters welcome you with open arms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what comes first? Let\u2019s break it down to see what travelling in NSW looks like;;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to Go to New South Wales<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NSW\u2019s subtropical climate brings you hot summers and cool winters, but still welcomes the chance of year-round sunshine. New South Wales is not a state to miss out on the diverse climates that Australian states are known for with snow-capped mountains inland and the warmest weather sitting on the coast where stunning beaches await.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer in New South Wales is from December to February. While temperatures vary from city to city, you probably won\u2019t feel the cold. Festivals are never too far away and the beach will be calling your name. This is the ideal time to go if you are looking for a summer holiday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In New South Wales, winters are cold with temperatures getting as low as 7 degrees Celsius on the coast from June to August. It is possible to go skiing in the mountains further inland at this time. If chilly long walks and wine-tasting warmers between hitting the slopes appeal to you, then you\u2019ll be surprised with what NSW has in store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509035681059{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509350069266{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;post-cta&#8221;]<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Don&#8217;t Miss Our Exclusive Offers!

Attracting people from across the world, Byron Bay sits on the doorstep of rainforest walks, coastal trails, and endless beaches, making it a dreamy destination for couples, friends and families alike, as you\u2019ll see in this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/3-day-byron-bay-1792017843\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Byron Bay luxury tour.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jutting out from the coastline is Australia\u2019s most easterly point, Cape Byron, with a lighthouse that watches over the boats that bring in the catch for Byron Bay\u2019s thriving food scene. In the resort town, you\u2019ll find a host of local artists and designers that have boutique shops and market stalls appearing all around the town, fuelling its reputation for being the shopping capital of the coast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hunter Valley<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oldest of Australia\u2019s wine regions, Hunter Valley is home to 150 wineries and vineyards that will become your personal NSW travel guide to some of Australia\u2019s finest wines, taking you on the tasting tour of a lifetime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are looking for a weekend away with the girls or a honeymoon with a difference, a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/3-day-hunter-valley-trip-1792020910\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunter Valley tour<\/a> from Sydney<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will have you losing track of time as you hop between cellar doors, stop for a picnic in a vineyard and cheers to the sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sydney<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleek, stylish and filled with iconic landmarks, Sydney is without a doubt Australia\u2019s most famous city.

I\u2019m Eilidh, a Scottish-born writer, artist and part-time explorer who has been based in Vietnam since 2016. Very much the outdoor type, in between words, you\u2019ll catch me seeking out adventures to be had and stories to be told. I\u2019m a sucker for a sunset, adore the reward of finding waterfalls and a self-proclaimed beach bum. Back at the desk, I love sharing my experience and love of travel and inspiring others to reach further out into the world - especially if it\u2019s related to food!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/eilidh-wilson\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/author\/eilidh\/"}]}},"yoast_meta":{"yoast_wpseo_title":"","yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","yoast_wpseo_canonical":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3244"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3244"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7397,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3244\/revisions\/7397"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
