Renting a car is the best way to explore New South Wales !I rented a so-called "Spacecamper"it was a funny experience with some disadvantages of that car:1) NO moskito-nets at the windows, although their brochures told me something like that in advance. The only part of the car that has moscito-nets is the extra "Rucksack" that you can fix at the rear of the car to gain some extra-space. BUT what is the sense of these nets, when at the same time there is enough space for moscitoes to find a way between the cloth and the car to slip in ? 2) large windows around the car plus 2 large windows on top are a kind of craziness in a hot climate like there: while driving you might have an AC, as soon as you stand you live like in an oven, much too hot to sleep there inside. At around 03.00am it cooles down a bit. Open the windows and you will have the moscitoes inside, keep the windows closed and...
train-trafic in New South Wales
by globetrott
Trains are in Australia not really an important means of transport for local people or tourists and you will find a lot of trainlines that are used only for transportation of goods and there are only a few trains per day or week. Lots of trainstations are un-manned, and you just might find a ticket-machine and a place, where you can speak with a supervisor over the telephone.Dungog was one of the few places that I have seen, that has its own trainstation also ment for the transport of people !Below you will find a link to the railaustralia-webpage !
New South Wales by Tour Bus
by ATXtraveler
New South Wales is a large and diverse area, which can best be covered by tour bus. Since obviously everyone has different ways to travel, some may disagree with this statement. The reason I believe this is the best way, is that each of the tour operators that drive this bus are trained to give you history on each part of the trip, and stop at places you would not stop at unless you were well informed!We had a great time in Doonside for Featherdale Animal Park, were able to stop and walk down to Wentworth Falls, and enjoy time in the small town of Leura all because of our helpful guide, Mark. (Ok, so I like his name too!).
Sydney Airport
by victorwkf
The Sydney Airport is the biggest airport in Australia and the gateway to New South Wales by air. There is an international airport and a domestic airport (consisting of 2 terminals). If you need to do a domestic transfer, remember to check with the airlines whether you need to claim your check-in luggages and re-check in again to the domestic terminals.In order to reach the domestic terminals, the best way is to take the free inter-terminal buses which are frequent. There are 2 domestic terminals next to each other, so do check your domestic flights carefully.One interesting thing about the airport is that you need to pay to use the luggage trolleys which are normally free of charge in many other airports.If you need a rest and wish to stay at a good hotel, there is a Stamford in-between the international and domestic terminals.If you are interest to see more photos of the airport,...

The Ferry from Manly Beach, Sydney
by unravelau
The Ferries around the harbour are just the very best way to go anywhere or to just relax and watch the boats go by. Going by ferry is the most relaxing way to see the harbour or visit Manly or the Zoo. The feeling of travelling by ferry is hard to describe because it is usually quite calm and therefore suits those who feel like fresh air and relaxation.
Just one of the ferries of Sydney Harbour
by unravelau
This was taken on a Monday, November 2003 and a beautiful spring day. Sydney Harbour ............ let's go cruisin'. Circular Quay is the hub or the Centre of many activities in Sydney. It accommodates the Opera House, it leads you to the Botannical Gardens, it shows you the Domain and around the other way Darling Harbour. You can catch trains, busses and ferries to all suburbs, and even has more than its share of waterside cafes and variety shops. If you went no where else, you would have had a pretty good taste of Sydney by just walking around the Quay for the afternoon.
Car or Bus
by Kate-Me
Since New South Wales is such a large state, unless you plan to stick to the main tourist route along the coast, I think you'd be well advised to have your own transport, so you can get off the beaten track and travel more conveniently.Here's a map to give you a better idea of NSW.
Sydney Airport has hundreds of flights each day.
by unravelau
Even Coffs Harbour has a number of regular services around NSW on a daily basis. Many country areas are easily accessed by plane..........it makes day tripping to various places an easy proposition.
