New England Region- Central North NSW

Glen Innes- disappointing- a decent mid size country town and the home of the Celtic Standing Stone Monument. Worth a stop but - drive the extra hour and stay in Tenterfield or Inverell.
Inverell- very cute- fossicking (essentially panning for gold or semi precious stones) and natural attractions dominate the tourist scene here. [...]

Byron Bay is great. But honestly- if you want a real Aussie north coast experience I would suggest the following.
Start in Byron for a day or two for the crazy backpacker party scene. Byron is a party mecca without being too plastic. You can take surf lessons and have your [...]

The Snowy Mountains are in the Southern part of New South Wales. They are the home of the highest peak in OZ, and are a region worth exploring during all seasons. A Brumby is a wild horse. A lot that see themselves and “battlers”, the Aussies love their highly independent bands of [...]

The Newport Arms is a Northern Beaches institution. A massive rambling “Hotel” or huge pub/bistro. ‘The Arms’ also has accommodation and overlooks Pittwater Bay on the west side of the Northern Beaches Penninsula. An ideal spot for Sunday Afternoon drinks, the outdoor area is enjoyable.
