The old saying �getting there is half the fun� has been brought to life by Tourism New South Wales� latest Drive New South Wales packs that aim to put the pleasure back into the great Aussie road trip.

The Drive New South Wales family packs include a Brisbane to Sydney map, Melbourne to Sydney map and suggested Family Accommodation Packages along with a cool Kids map, game and bumper sticker. The Drive New South Wales Luxury Kit includes accommodation packages specific for a break for two.

The classic Aussie driving holiday, where the journey can be just as much fun as the destination, is highlighted in the Drive New South Wales campaign. The anticipation of arriving, games of �Eye-Spy� or �Spotto�, pillows in the back and discoveries en route all rekindle fond childhood memories. Now there�s no better way to get there than equipped with the latest maps, brochures and your own sense of adventure to make the journey a highlight. The smorgasbord of attractions en route to Sydney are illustrated in both the colourful kids map and in an A to Z of things to see and do along the way on each touring map.

A Drive New South Wales holiday spoils you for choice. Idyllic seaside towns, quaint, unspoilt villages, pristine World Heritage wilderness, alpine snowfields, breathtaking coastline, vast outback plains and Australia�s most cosmopolitan, vibrant city.

Combine the flexibility of a Drive New South Wales holiday with outstanding value family accommodation packages starting from $99 per night for a family of four. If it�s pure indulgence you�re after, you can find yourself in the lap of luxury from $160 per night per couple. Family or luxury, city or country, Tourism New South Wales offers a range of packages to suit any style of holiday.

Whether you�re heading north, south, east or west, all 801, 428 square kilometres of New South Wales has been covered in the easy- to-read, informative maps.
