NSW’s former Chief Funster Andrew Smith reveals his 5 favourite NSW experiences (Australia)

From December 2013 to June 2014, Andrew Smith was appointed Destination NSW’s “Chief Funster”, and travelled all around NSW to see the best of what our country had to offer. Among this time, he went to Tamworth, joined the AU on a weekend in Newcastle and much more.

Now back in the real world (though promising he’ll be returning to Australia sooner rather than later), we caught up with Andrew to find out his top 5 experiences of his 6 month stint in NSW as “Chief Funster”:

Breakfast
