R&H Suburb Profile 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.
