You must not use a mobile phone while driving, even when you’re stationary, for example, stopped at lights or stuck in traffic. This includes:
texting
phone
calls
music
Can you point out where the radio is referenced on that page?
I was considering music as part of it, on radio . Thanks for enlightening me .
I don't really understand the question.
If you meet the standard/curriculum AND are above the age cutoff, I don't see why not?
It's a bit late, still plenty of leaves so worth the drive. Orange has some pretty good restaurants and wineries if that's your kinda thing.
Hmm I'm mainly looking for camping and hiking, was going to drive up the bridle track too on my way back up to qld
If you are in Qld, why not just head to Toowoomba or Stanthorpe for tree colour?
What’s your favourite?
Wagga Wagga - so much National Party money here, it’s got everything.
Parkes because they have giant dishes.
Albury is nice. Big enough to have some good shops. Small enough that your commute won't take too long. An easy drive to Melbourne for a weekend.
Port MacQuarie is ok if you are retirement age (and can afford to buy a house).
Mudgee has a tourist culture in an inland country town.
South coast if you like that sort of thing....
Orange/Bathurst isn't too far from Sydney, but is also far enough away from Lithgow!

If I was from a wealthy part of Sydney and felt uncomfortable living anywhere regional that didn't feel like a replica of a wealthy part of Sydney, then nothing beats Bowral.
Kiama, coffs harbour, narooma
Bathurst - 2.5 hours of fun 2.5 hours from fun.
Dunbogan is as close to heaven as I’ve ever been. And I’ve been to Rooty Hill!
Berry was nice till all the wealthy snobs came down and changed it and sent prices up.
Stay away from the Illawarra. It's so much more violent than it used to be. Beaches are shit. No natural beauty whatsoever.

Tamworth ;)
Penriff
Dungog
Scone
Clearly Taree.
Dee Why, which is near Manly in the Northern Beaches of Sydney! It’s super nice here, so much natural beauty, town looks amazing, people are so lovely, great sense of community, great public transport, close to everything… Really love living here!
Well not Sydney
Newcastle
Yamba
Engadine
Coffs Harbour isn't bad once you make peace with the 12 sets of traffic lights on the pacific motorway
Anywhere along the coast will give you a city culture with rushed people and busyness. If you want laid back country living go west over the mountains.
Tweed Heads is probably the best to be honest it’s got everything you ever need like nice beaches and an all you can eat buffet at the golf club. If you get bored of spending your pay check each week at the pokies and watching Bob Downe and Patti Newton concerts at Twin Towns you can just walk across the border into the Gold Coast and go get loaded at the Cooly Hotel.
Depends what your interests are. Lots of great ones with different things to offer.
Bourke
Redfern is the best town to live in...get the best of country and city into 1
Kingscross
Tweed Heads, most beautiful beaches, but also quick access to the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Brassy born and bred, however i lived in Lismore for three years in my early 30’s. I actually quite enjoyed the town.
Dubbo is where it's at. What's "it"? ........crime
Albury, good weather, people are happy and friendly, and was voted best town in NSW, plus heaps of jobs and very affordable.
There's a few that I have been to for work and could imagine myself living there.
Orange, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Kingcliff, Lennox Head and just on the border Echuca / Moama.
If you're old or have a family, Ettalong Beach is gorgeous and easily accessible to everywhere and anything.
I think Kangaroo Valley would be a wonderful place to live if were into that sort of thing.
A lot of people I've spoken to seen to like Wollongong.
My dad would move to Port Macquarie if he could.
Kingscliff near the QLD border is good for young families and retirees. But for teenagers and people in their 20s it sucks for finding work. Beautiful beaches, creek to swim in with dolphins, good food, good schools, very relaxed lifestyle and good climate. It used to be much more chill now it's slowly being gentrified though.
Vincentia/ Huskinsson on the south coast are beautiful. Pebbly Beach is great for camping lots of kangaroos and secluded beaches.
I really liked Katoomba in the Blue Mountains but I was only there for a day. I also thought Goulburn was very quaint and pretty in Autumn.
If you don't like Byron Bay try Bangalow or Brunswick Heads, much more laid back and not hoardes of tourists.
Yamba is where I would like to live one day.
Corindi Beach, Woolgoolga and Bellingen are also great.
I know everyone hates on Sydney and I have my moments where I want to escape too, but there are pockets of Sydney that I really love for the culture, food and people. Western Sydney gets a lot of negative portrayal on social media but I really love Bankstown, Lakemba, Auburn and Greenacre they have an undeniable spirit that you can't find in Rose Bay, Bronte, Coogee etc. Burwood is fantastic, so is Marrickville.
Bowral!
Cabarita beach
Gordon
Anywhere. It’s what you make of it!
Campbelltown, claymore specifically. Enjoy the nice coastal views, take in the nice scenery, warm yourself up by the burning car.
not telling
Kingscliff
Not Lismore 🧐
Coffs Harbour
depends on the person
if Lebanese and like food you should live near Liverpool or Lakemba and if you are white you can basically live anywhere but if you are Pakistani/Indian you can live in North Kellyville
Albury. Because the hospital is supplied by Victoria.
Or Tweed Heads, because you live on QLD time.
Bathurst
Byron Bay, Mollymook Beach and Bowral are decent
Not Taree or Newcastle
No regional town in NSW is as good as any regional town in Victoria, but if I had to pick one, it’d be Armidale - a University, a great art gallery, fibre to the home, not one but 2 awesome microbreweries… it’s basically like one of all the good things about Sydney, without Sydney prices.
Local MP is a bit of a c… though.
Merrylands
NONE.
Any other state
Victoria
If you can afford it, Byron Bay and the surrounding hinterland is beautiful
Queanbeyan, because it's basically Canberra.
Best in NSW? Well that would have to be Mackay Queensland 🤣🤣🤣 NSW is shit.
Brisbane
Queensland
Is this specifically towns and ruling out cities and rural areas?
I'm gonna throw my hat into this mix and say Coonabarabran. I just feel like it needs some rep in these comments
Bathurst
Parkes is really good
Not surprised campbelltown isn't in the comments
