5 world heritage listed national parks in the tweed valley,northern nsw,australiaThe Tweed has the highest level of bio-diversity in Australia, which includes many threatened or endangered species of mammal, bird, and reptile. The squirrel-glider, sooty owl, and pouched frog are just a few of the species living in the Mount Warning National Park that are either exclusive to the area, or are found in small numbers in a select number of similar climates. The mountain itself is central to a wide erosion caldera (the area formed by the erosion of the volcano around the central column that is now Mt. Warning) covered in sub-tropical rainforest, and is home to many species of flora and fauna. It''s also said to be the place where the rising sun first touches Australia each day, being the highest point on the eastern coast.

Of course, Australia is a long old haul from the UK, Europe, or North America, and so it''s handy that the area has so much to compensate for the long journey. Travelers flying into Australia from international destinations are probably best landing in Sydney, from where they can travel by land into the region or make a connecting flight to Gold Coast airport which is just 35 minutes drive from the centre of the Tweed region. Brisbane is another option, and is actually much closer to the Tweed Valley (and Mt Warning) but obviously has far fewer flights from fewer destinations arriving there.

It is important when travelling to Australia to take out appropriate travel insurance, as it is when travelling anywhere, but Australia has certain reasons why it is even more important. In places like the national parks of New South Wales, risk of injury is increased because of the challenging terrain and also because of the presence of venomous or aggressive wild animals. Also, the high cost involved in travelling there means that any cancellations will be costly. Search the web using a price comparison site to find the best deals.
