OCEAN BATHS
New South Wales has around a hundred ocean baths documented online
New South Wales
Ocean Baths.
These pools are tidal swimming pools on the open coast and waves
break over the side of these pools. Some of the oldest baths are
in the cities of Newcastle and Wollongong, although Sydney's ocean
baths are better known.
FLORA
Waratahs (Telopea speciosissima) belong to the genus Telopea, in
the Proteaceae family. The plant is native to a small area of the
central coast of New South Wales, and it grows wildly in hilly areas
near Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong. In 1962 it was proclaimed New South Wales' official
floral emblem.
RIVERS
The Darling
River is the longest river in Australia, flowing 2,739 kilometers
from northern New South Wales to its confluence with the Murray
River at Wentworth.
