Situated high on the northern tablelands of New South Wales, Armidale is approximately halfway between Sydney & Brisbane (566km from Sydney) and is only 2 ½ hours drive from the coast along the Waterfall Way.

With a population of around 26,000 the Armidale district has four distinct seasons with delightful summers and traditional high country winters.

Armidale's beautiful tree-lined streets and extensive parks and gardens have been a feature from its early beginnings. They look particularly spectacular when deciduous trees bathe the city in the vibrant colours of autumn or in springtime when all the gardens are in full flower. The colours of the city contrast dramatically with the timeless beauty of the rugged gorge country, with its waterfalls and the wilderness along the escarpment of the nearby Great Dividing Range. A short drive to the east of Armidale, Oxley Wild Rivers, Cathedral Rock and New England National Parks offer awe-inspiring scenery and a great choice of outdoor activities.

Armidale is known as an 'education city' with the University of New England and a number of boarding schools that attract people from all over Australia and overseas. This has created a sophisticated lifestyle and a cosmopolitan atmosphere where interest in the arts and culture flourish. There are several museums and the New England Regional Art Museum permanently houses the internationally acclaimed Hinton and Coventry collections.

Armidale is a vibrant commercial centre with successful businesses servicing local, regional and international markets. Access to a wide range of expertise, from cutting-edge technology to traditional trades and retail products has been a key contributor to the growth of this sector.
