Savour every flavour of NSW

With pulsing cities where creativity flows and grows; idyllic villages from Eden to the Tweed; and some of Earth’s rawest wilderness, New South Wales sets the scene for winter adventures in culture, nature and the unexpected.

And it all begins with a jam-packed Event Spotlight – your statewide hitlist of winter highlights that showcase NSW’s beating heart and soul. This week’s edition invites you into the poignant art and timeless spirit of the world’s oldest living culture at Mutawintji Cultural Festival, while the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash brings live music and world-class festivities to the red desert plains of the far west. Back in Sydney, the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is in 'Full Bloom', transforming into a landscape of imagination and winter warmth that welcomes all.

The feelgood discoveries continue right to The Riverina too, where you can follow the foodie trail for an unforgettable culinary adventure. Take your pick of gourmet delights across Australia's food bowl, from tasting artisan goodies, to talking to local winemakers - there's few better places to wind down and indulge.

Back in the Harbour City, every winter day offers a fresh way to play – as you’ll see in our roundup of Sydney’s best markets, featuring everything from Chinatown’s multi-sensory night market to the Kirribilli Markets, set against the spectacular sweep of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Enjoy!

Eat your way around the Riverina

Pack a hearty appetite and buckle up for an epic road trip across the food bowl of the Riverina, in the southwest of New South Wales. Indulge in Italian wines and fine food in Griffith before making your way to Wagga Wagga – the largest inland city in the state – by way of more wineries, distilleries and fertile farmland.
