This is the country’s most populous state and is where Sydney is located. Sydney played host to the 2000 Summer Olympics and today is where all the big businesses are located in Australia.

New South Wales was where the first permanent European settlement was when Captain James Cook landed in Botany Bay in 1770.

When you come and see this great and diverse state you will be amazed how vast and how beautiful it is. You will also see the huge rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne as it will depend who you talk to, which city you here is better. In my opinion you go to Sydney if you want to see the Sydney Harbour and amazing beaches. If you are looking for culture and great shopping go to Melbourne.
