In the North West is where the sky stretches forever and the horizon is always a long way away, Australia at its best. Visit the national parks, bootscoot in Tamworth, dig up a sapphire in Inverell, dance with a kilted Celt in Glen Innes or see the waters of Moree.
Here you can enjoy the cool summers in the tablelands, the glorious colours of autumn, romantic dinners by the fire in winter or the clear, fresh air in spring. Visit some farming centres, such as Tamworth, Moree or Narrabri. There are National Parks and wide stretches of farmland to explore, also excellent fishing and fossicking opportunities throughout the region. But wherever you may choose go, rest assured, a warm country welcome awaits you. Choose from farm stays, cabins, apartments, or comfortable motels. Farm stays provide a complete family holiday, with a chance to ride horses, meet the animals or help with farm duties.
