Webcamtaxi takes you to New South Wales, a state in southeastern Australia known for its coastal cities and natural areas, many of which are protected and divided into national parks. The capital, Sydney, is a culturally dynamic, modern city as shown in the world-famous buildings of Sydney Opera House and Sydney Tower. Natural treasures in this state are endless from the white-sand beaches, such as in the Byron Bay, to inland where a wide range of activities in nature is possible, for example hiking in the Blue Mountains, skiing or rock climbing in the Snowy Mountains. For a break in the adventure, Hunter Valley, a famed wine region, offers fine restaurants, retreats and plenty of attractions.
