NSW Combines the Urbane and the Untamed Holiday Experience
The popular image of holidays in Australia has been shaped by movies like “Crocodile Dundee” or more recently Baz Luhrmann’s “Australia” epic.They show wide open spaces, big skies and the stark, ancient red landscape of the Outback.That’s certainly part of the picture and those vistas and experiences are available in this remarkable continent.However, holidays to Australia can also be far more chic, urbane and sophisticated as well as pioneering and rugged if that’s what you want.
Australian holidays that take in New South Wales have endless unspoilt beaches and breathtaking natural treasures but can also feature Sydney, one of the world’s most vibrant cities. Sydney is home to a wide variety of cultural institutions. The iconic Opera House has five halls, including a large concert hall and dedicated opera and drama theatres. It is home to Opera Australia (the third-busiest company in the world) and the Sydney Symphony orchestra. Other equally popular venues with a full programme of cultural events include the Sydney Town Hall, the City Recital Hall, and the State Theatre, the Theatre Royal, Sydney, the Sydney Theatre and the Wharf Theatre. As well as these cultural centres, there are many excellent restaurants and galleries throughout the bustling metropolis.
The other man-made attraction high on any to do list is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. In recent months the walkways of the bridge have been opened up to members of the public (those who don’t suffer from vertigo at least) so it’s possible to take a guided tour of this magnificent structure and get a view of the city from the top of the bridge itself. Self drive Australia holidays are also well suited to a base in Sydney as less than 90 minutes’ drive will take you to wine growing regions and the stunning Blue Mountains with magnificent scenery and skiing and glorious national parks. Tours in Australia often use Sydney as a base for cruises to places such as Lord Howe Island, a World Heritage-listed paradise in the Tasman Sea.Whatever you choose to do, a New South Wales holiday will deliver an experience that is cosmopolitan and rugged in equal measure.
