Find your favourite corner in New England High Country
The New England High Country region is situated in the northeast of NSW, with its capital, Armidale, located nearly six hours — or 475km — from Sydney. The heritage-steeped high country is bursting at the seams with charming country towns, natural wonders and gourmet attractions, not to mention big open roads that reveal the region’s beautiful scenery at every turn. At around 1000 metres above sea level, New England High Country offers a truly evocative and unique experience with four distinct seasons.
Of course, the very best part about touring New England High Country by motorbike is the sheer freedom of it. That’s why New England High Country, in conjunction with Motorcycle Trader, Australasian Dirt Bike and Australian Motorcycle News, have created distinct touring itineraries to help you discover everything this region has to offer on two wheels.
My Favourite Corner is all about inspiring you to take the journey to this stunning pocket of New South Wales and whether you prefer road riding, off-road adventuring, or luxury touring, there’s a motorcycle route through this diverse region to suit everyon’es style.
