Australia's most dynamic cities, Sydney.

Sydney deserves a visit all to itself. With its diverse population and incredible
setting, the city could provide weeks of unending pleasure and excitement. Plus, it
is merely a few hours from some of the coolest outdoor adventures on the continent.
For example, a couple of hours drive can put a traveller in the Hunter Valley Wine
Region or into the Blue Mountains of the Southern Highlands.
The rest of New South Wales is not to be missed either, however. Take the northern
end of the state, which borders on the state of Queensland. It is a subtropical
paradise that Sydney residents flock to during the cold weather months.
To the east is one glorious beach after another. It's no wonder that with the
thousands of kilometres of beaches on the island, that 90 percent of all
Australians reside within an hour of one of them. Some of the key stretches in this
region are the Sapphire Coast, where whale watching is a top pastime, to
Port Stephens and its dolphin watching, and all the way up to the Gold Coast.
If you ever grow tired of the sun and the sand - if that's possible - then venture
to the south of New South Wales. There you'll find some of the best skiing in the
Southern Hemisphere. Resort towns such as Thredbo and Perisher provide modern skiing
facilities from May to September. In the summer, they become havens of mountain
biking, rafting, and hiking.
Whatever activity and whatever climate you're in the mood for, New South Wales and
Sydney can dish it up.
