The natural landscapes of New England North West (also known as Big Sky Country) are some of the best you will see. Rural NSW Holidays at their best.
From the New England where the mild climate, meandering valleys, tranquil waterfalls and World Heritage-listed Oxley Wild Rivers World Heritage will all provide postcard-like photo moments. The landscapes vary from steep wooded hills and native forest to wide fertile valleys fringed by a haze of blue ranges. Rural Australia NSW holidays for all the family.
To the North West, the skies unfold to deliver spectacular vistas and experiences such as thermal spring spa baths, more National Parks such as Mount Kaputar and the gateway to the Outback. Washpool and Gibraltar Range national parks, located east of Glen Innes are neighbours and what they both have in common is they’re individualistic, stunning, and, like the Pyramids of Egypt, share World Heritage listing.
New England North West has a number of water ways including the Namoi, Gwydir, Macintyre, Peel, MacDonald and Mehi Rivers all accessible to drop a line and test your luck at catching dinner from the stream. The larger State recreational parks like Lake Keepit, Chaffey Dam or Copeton Dam are also good fishing spots. Explore Bald Rock National Park and its granite monolith exhibit, the largest in Australia. Take the time to also visit some of the other natural wonders in the region including Sawn Rocks the Mystery Rockface and Thunderbolt’s Lookout. Gunnedah has many koala habitats and your chances of spotting one in the wild is more than likely. Excellent destinations for your NSW holidays.
Continue your wildlife tour and drop into Barraba where you’ll find a diverse range of bird life including the endangered Regent Honeyeater – which is only found in the tiny town. The entire region is burgeoning with flora and fauna the whole year round.
