It isn't all business
Sydney is Australia's oldest and largest city, set on a stunning harbour. Our State's capital city is home to two of the world's most recognisable icons − the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The CBD offers world-class theatres, great shopping, museums and art galleries and restaurants featuring cuisines from around the world.
Within easy reach of Sydney's CBD are sandy beaches, national parks and suburbs with their own unique identities.
Regional New South Wales (NSW) offers many business opportunities with a relaxed lifestyle and easy access to key amenities and recreational facilities.
NSW has more than 820 national parks and reserves. They protect landscapes from rainforests and rugged bush to marine wonderlands and outback deserts. You'll find campsites ranging from luxurious settings to quiet wilderness clearings, and walking tracks to suit every level of experience.
