New South Wales has breath-taking natural attractions from plentiful World Heritage national parks to hidden treasures where Australian flora and fauna thrive.

The UNESCO World Heritage register lists four sites in country NSW, which are considered important to all the peoples of the world. They include the Greater Blue Mountains Area, Lord Howe Island, Willandra Lakes centred on Mungo National Park and Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.

You’ll also discover a world of natural treasures in several island locations. Spot turtles and whales at Solitary Islands Marine Park and a colony of little penguins and Australian fur seals at Montague Island.

There are plenty of ways to getting around exploring these beautiful environments. Take a nature tour to learn about native animal habitats, go abseiling or kayaking, cycling, hiking or bushwalking. Camp overnight in a hidden valley or watch a sparkling waterfall at sunset or sit back and enjoy the sight of mesmeric natural formations.
