Armidale is the perfect gateway to the natural wonders of New South Wales’ Northern Tablelands. Visit the town to pack the car with all the essentials, then enjoy an adventure or two in the Australian wilderness.
Armidale is surrounded by stunning nature reserves and natural landmarks. South-east of the airport lies the magnificent Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, an ideal destination for lovers of the outdoors. Camp here and enjoy exploring the extensive rainforest, rushing waterfalls and gorges, and be on the lookout for local birds and wildlife.
In the opposite direction, the smaller Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve holds its own appeal, including an Aboriginal cultural walk which will be appreciated by those interested in catching a glimpse of the area’s past.
Closer to town, you can marvel at the historical architecture while enjoying a meal or beverage at the Booloominbah Courtyard Café or Limerick Bar. Locally, you’ll find parks, a golf club and the Armidale Plaza Shopping Centre.
Armidale offers a wide selection of accommodation to suit all budgets. For a more authentic country experience you can stay at one of the quaint Bed & Breakfast establishments, or choose a Farm Stay option for a more hands-on visit.
