When to visit

The best time to visit New South Wales is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer (December to February) can be hot and crowded, especially in popular coastal areas. Winter (June to August) is a good time to visit the ski resorts in the Snowy Mountains.

Getting around

New South Wales has an extensive public transportation system, including trains, buses, and ferries, making it easy to get around major cities like Sydney. Renting a car is also a popular option for exploring regional areas and coastal towns. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available in urban areas.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack sunscreen and a hat, as the Australian sun can be strong. Check for any travel advisories or bushfire warnings before heading out on outdoor adventures. Respect the local wildlife and follow any guidelines for interacting with animals. Try to learn a few basic phrases in Australian English to communicate with locals. Be prepared for varying weather conditions, especially if traveling between different regions in New South Wales.
