Queensland & New South Wales Hinterland To the west and inland of the Gold Coast stretching across the border between the two states of Queensland and New South Wales stretch a number of national parks. They collectively warrant World Heritage status. The northern hinterland area is noted for it's high rainfall. The southern area has vast dry tablelands of sheep and cattle grazing country. Unlike much of Australia, this area known as New England has four distinct seasons and a strangely Scottish flavour.
