Armidale NSW
Armidale in NSW is an attractive and graceful city of tree-lined streets. It is here where the academic world of the University of New England mingles with a major rural service centre at the heart of rich, old world pastoralism. The city is the major centre of the Northern Tablelands. It is also the major city in the New England area of northern New South Wales.
A City of Four Seasons
The city has four distinct seasons and it becomes like New England in the USA when in autumn the introduced birch, ash and poplar set the district ablaze with reds, golds and browns. Although the university now dominates the city’s economy, it is still in a rich and fertile area. Here grazing and the production of high-grade fine wool are the major source of local income.
Stunning Scenery and Agricultural Wealth
Equally timber processing and the production of potatoes and stone fruits are also important. The historic agricultural wealth of the district is apparent in some of the city’s fine heritage buildings.
The scenery around Armidale includes forests, mountain gorges, waterfalls (Wollomombi Falls are one of the highest in Australia) and four national parks. Armidale is also known for its gracious city parklands; its schools and its impressive Anglican and Catholic cathedrals.
Armidale offers visitors a truly evocative and unique experience. What’s so appealing about Armidale is that it’s a cosmopolitan and sophisticated urban centre located in a picturesque rural setting. It is also on the doorstep of some of the most scenic national parks in Australia.
