Armidale is a spunky middle sized country town. It has the University of New England so there are loads of things to do. the downtown is supper cute and there are heaps of national parks as well as cultural and historical things to see. Built basically between two hills the main part of town sits in a lush valley. Be careful- Armidale is at quite a high elevation- the nights can be quite cool. The scenery of the area is beautiful.
