Info
The "western" history of this state begins with the founding of an English penal colony near Botany Bay in Sydney. From here, New South Wales and the rest of Australia were occupied by Europeans, with the understanding that most immigrants settled along the coast because the interior is difficult and too dry.

By car
Tolls are payable on a number of motorways around Sydney. Information from the Australian Automobile Association. The road network around the cities is of very good quality, but in the "outback" this is less. You should also be aware, especially in the evening and at night, that kangaroos or emus can unexpectedly cross the road. A so-called "roo-bar" (steel tube construction in front of the car) is not an unnecessary luxury there. It is better not to drive outside the urban areas at all after dark if possible.
