Weather Overview

Like Victoria, getting around New South Wales is pretty easy.

Especially in Sydney where the public transport system is very good. Given a lot of Sydney is surrounded by water, there are ferries that can take you to various places around the city as well.

One of the main downsides of getting around the city is the traffic. Sydney is definitely not the best place to drive, especially during peak times where it becomes extremely congested.

However, driving is usually the best option if wanting to get out to the more regional areas and national parks – e.g. the Blue Mountains.

The best options in the city:

• Walking
• Use the metro (train) system
• City ferries
• Jump on a public bus
• Book a Taxi/Uber
• Hire a bike

Regional Areas:

• Hire a car, 4WD or caravan
• Take regional public transport (trains and buses)

The Best Adventure Activities in New South Wales include:

• Hiking the many trails in the Blue Mountains
• Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge
• Skydiving in the Hunter Valley
• Surfing
• Sailing
• Abseiling & Rock Climbing
• Caving
• Whale watching
