New South Wales FAQs
The best time to visit New South Wales is during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) when the weather is mild and perfect for sightseeing, beach days and outdoor adventures.
Top beaches include Bondi and Manly in Sydney, Byron Bay’s Main Beach, Hyams Beach on the South Coast and Boomerang Beach on the Mid North Coast – all offering stunning scenery and great surf.
Take your pick of trains, buses or ferries to explore Sydney and nearby regions. For coastal or inland adventures, car hire is the best way to experience New South Wales at your own pace.
Whale watching season runs from May to November, with prime viewing along the coast as humpback whales migrate north and south.
Family favourites include Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Byron Bay and Jervis Bay, offering calm beaches, nature experiences and plenty of family-friendly attractions.
