Discover Armidale: A Perfect Blend of Urban Sophistication and Natural Beauty

Armidale is a cosmopolitan urban centre set against the stunning backdrop of rural Australia. Conveniently located between Sydney and Brisbane, slightly inland on the eastern coast, it offers easy access to both cities and features a small regional airport. It’s a place where the charm of a sophisticated city meets the tranquillity of nature, offering the best of both worlds.

Nature at Your Doorstep

Armidale is surrounded by four breathtaking national parks, all within an hour’s drive. Explore the giant granite boulders at Cathedral Rock National Park, or marvel at the cascading waters of Ebor Falls along the picturesque Waterfall Way. The New England and Oxley Wild Rivers National Parks, both World Heritage-listed, offer incredible views from Point Lookout and trails that wind through lush rainforests, dramatic gorges, and pristine waterways.
