Armidale is a harmonious blend of new world cosmopolitanism and old world pastoralism, with graceful tree-lined streets and impressive institutions. Ideally located on the New England Highway midway between
Sydney and
Brisbane, it is also less than three hours drive from the coast and close to the vast gorge country of the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park and the spectacular wilderness of New England National Park.
Originally the home of the Anaiwan Aboriginal people, the New England region was opened up by pastoralists in the 1830s, and 14 museums in the area pay tribute to the hardships of early settlement. The area is renowned for its heritage buildings and its Aboriginal rock art.
