Local Suburb Information

Armidale

Armidale is a university and cathedral city in northern NSW, halfway between Sydney and Brisbane. It is located about two hours drive from the coast on the New England Tablelands at an altitude ranging from 970m at the floor of the valley to 1,110m above sea level at the crests of the hills.

Armidale has a unique blend of culture, state of the art technology, educational diversity and natural beauty. Its elevation gives it a mild climate, with pleasant warm summers, extended spring and autumn seasons, and a short cold winter with some frosty nights. The presence of four distinct seasons, unlike most of the rest of Australia, is the reason for the "New England" moniker.

There are also public and private hospitals.

Armidale is a major regional retail centre, housing three shopping malls, including a pedestrian mall that stretches over three blocks of Beardy Street in the centre of town. There is a large selection of restaurants, ranging from fine dining to healthy eating restaurants, as well as a wide range of affordable dining, takeaways and cafes.

Local town services are provided on six different routes buses and Armidale is serviced by taxis. Armidale is the terminus of the Main North railway line, with direct links to Sydney via the daily Countrylink service. There is also a modern airport with daily scheduled flights to and from Sydney. The city has several bus companies operating services to connect the city with other major centres.
