New South Wales has several contrasting landscapes, snow covered mountains in the South, Outback deserts in the West, tropical rain forests in the North and serene coast to the East.

Here are some of the highlights from the places I have visited.
Blue Mountains National Park
This popular national park situated 2 hours west of Sydney is a must visit tourist destination. The famous ‘Three Sisters’ sandstone rock pillars viewable from Echo Point, Katoomba and have become iconic to the area. The park is full of other similar stunning formations as well as several series of cascading waterfalls, hectares of eucalyptus forest, and a massive cave and canyon network.

Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge
Iconic in both Australia and internationally I first visited Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House as an adult. It never fails to impress me especially seeing it light up at night from the Manly to CBD ferry. Sydney Opera House is one of the most photographed buildings in the world, I like to think I have captured a unique angle in the following image.

Seal Rocks
Situated South of Forster and East of Myall Lakes National Park accessible by an unsealed road, Seal Rocks and its famous lighthouse built in 1875 is a great holiday destination. For photography Seal Rocks has a beautiful long stretch of white sand with interesting rock formations at the lighthouse end. On the headland the old light house makes for a great view over the surrounding area, stunning at sunset.

Mungo National Park
Mungo National Park is a typical outback Australian landscape, a landscape I don’t often get to visit. Of course the Walls of China are something unique but the rest is rugged, wild and vivid red.
