Cootamundra: Cootamundra Airport

The landscape around Cootamundra is rolling grain-and-grazing country on New South Wales’s South West Slopes, which has shaped both the town’s low-rise form and its agricultural economy. Muttama Creek runs through the district, while broad paddocks and roadside stands of Cootamundra wattle, Acacia baileyana, give the area a distinctly inland Australian character. The town is also the birthplace of cricketer Sir Donald Bradman; his childhood home is preserved as the Bradman Birthplace Museum. Railways remain part of Cootamundra’s identity, with the town on the Main Southern line between Sydney and Melbourne.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
