“IN ORDER TO tackle the uncertainty of travel during COVID-19, organisations have been Implementing some interesting alternatives to physically visiting places.

Regional NSW is scattered with parks, gardens and reserves, meaning a place to have a picnic, take a hike, or simply relax is often around the corner. Go in search of jacarandas, spend the night in a vast cool climate garden, stroll through the UNESCO World Heritage rainforest reserves and join in the fun at dedicated garden festivals.
