Cruising in NSW
One of the world’s most beautiful natural harbours, Sydney Harbour is famed for its sparkling waters, iconic sights, spectacular events and hundreds of kilometres of shoreline.
Newcastle, Australia’s second-oldest city and Sydney’s northern neighbour, is a vibrant hub built around an industrial port and surrounded by stunning beaches and coastlines. A visit to Newcastle isn’t complete without a dip in the ocean baths, a coastal walk, an exploration of local history, or watching massive tankers sail into port.
Port of Eden, the southernmost deep-water harbour in NSW, supports key industries including fishing, forestry, and tourism. Serving the region’s import and export needs, it is home to one of NSW’s largest fishing fleets and acts as a gateway for tourism along the southern NSW coast.
