Visit Outback NSW
If you’re eager to see a different side of New South Wales, a trip out to the outback and regional towns is well worth it. Think big skies, friendly locals, and a pace of life that makes you want to slow down and stay a while. Broken Hill offers that classic outback feel with its mining history and striking desert landscapes, while Orange has a thriving food and wine scene that’ll surprise you with just how good regional produce can be. Head up to Tamworth, the home of Australian country music, and you’ll find plenty of charm beyond the festival, from pubs with live music to wide country roads perfect for a drive. Wagga Wagga, one of the biggest inland cities, is a great all-rounder with art, culture, and river walks. No matter which direction you go, exploring outback and regional NSW gives you a taste of Australia that’s authentic, welcoming, and full of character.
