Inland from Sydney lies the majestic Blue Mountains and the southern plateaus rising to the high ski country of the Snowy Mountains. For a country renowned for its dry climate and heat, Australia has a very well developed ski industry that spans the border between New South Wales and Victoria. To most people New South Wales embodies all that is truly Australian. As well as the vibrant young cities, you will find golden beaches, incomparable Sydney Harbour, the world class vineyards of the Hunter Valley and tropical rainforests. The Great Dividing Range runs north to south about 100km inland from the coast and it is this coastal belt that is home to most of the more popular tourist centres, larger cities and major towns. The inland areas of the state are dotted with an assortment of mining towns, rural support centres, the rich farming areas of the Riverina and miles of rolling sheep and cattle pastures. As you travel further west, the grassland plains gradually become the dry, arid outback of central Australia. As is the case with all the states, New South Wales is big - it is 1200 kilometres (750 miles) east-west and 1000 kilometres (625 miles) north-south. Those are straight line map distances, actual road distances are much further.
