Spending time in New South Wales has the power to transform you: both through immersing yourself in its awe-inspiring natural beauty and experiencing the rich culture and stories of its places and people. But it’s in the collision of the two where you’ll find the state’s beating heart. Here are some of the experiences that contain this duality and will leave you with a new energy and moments to remember.
- When artists from around the world were invited to Broken Hill to create site specific sculptures, they looked to the golden skyline and ancient sandstone for inspiration. The Living Desert and Sculptures is a homage to the city, a place with a long history of artistic excellence, as well as the breathtaking landscape that is synonymous with this outback centre.
- It’s evident from the moment you gaze upon Wendy Whiteley’s Garden that this is the work of an artist. When creating it, she was inspired by colour, form and beauty over the traditional practices of horticulture, with native and exotic plants of all shapes and shades creating a visual feast.

- One of Sapphire Coast’s great walks, the Light to Light Walk hugs the coastline between two historic buildings. The walks starts at Boyds Tower, an imposing sandstone structure that tells many stories of the enterprising communities of the coast, and ends south of Eden at Green Cape Lighthouse, a stellar example of heritage architecture. Along the way is spectacular and rugged coastline unlike anywhere else.
- Surge across the seemingly endless, undulating Stockton Bight Sand Dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands by quad bike and you’ll experience so much more than an exhilarating day out. Learn about the significance of the sand dunes to Worimi people through their history, stories and traditions.

- Orange is defined by its cool climate, distinct topography and passionate winemakers and food producers. Wine is an expression of place at Rowlee Wines, located in the foothills of Mount Canobolas, and one of the many places to enjoy the region’s culinary culture.
- Fruit farming is an essential part of the fabric of NSW. Set among the Tweed’s rainforest, with the perfect climate and soil to grow produce, Tropical Fruit World is a joyful place to learn about farming culture.

- From its eucalypt-covered landscapes to its ancient rock formations, the Blue Mountains has long been a haven of restoration through immersion in nature. Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley is surrounded by nature, with opportunities to explore by horseback, a menu celebrating local ingredients and a commitment to conservation of the environment.
- When dining at Bannisters Port Stephens, you might spot a pod of dolphins swim by in the bay, or a koala munching on leaves in a nearby tree. It’s fine dining inspired by the land, where the menu is led by the catch of the day and the oysters are some of the best in the state.

- NSW has a wondrous coastline, so it’s no wonder that so many of us are disciples of dawn. Whether it’s paddling out in the quiet, hearing nothing but the waves lap at your board, greeting the golden sun with a beachside yoga session or feeling every cell fizz after diving into an ocean pool, waking up by the water is an essential part of our culture.

- Travel back through time on a paddle-steamer on the mighty Murray River, pausing to explore heritage sites that tell the region’s history, ancient tributaries and significant cultural sites.
- Flat plains, that stretch as far as the eye can see, red dust, and the iconic ute. The Deni Ute Muster is an unrivalled festival celebrating these themes, and more than anything, the community spirit that defines country NSW.
