Although these mountains aren't steep, many peaks rise above 1000 metres high, and they are one of the oldest mountain chains on earth.</p>\r\n<h4>The Central Plains</h4>\r\n<p>The cultivated central plains spread 500 km from east to west and are the agricultural powerhouse of the NSW economy due to the rich, fertile soil and adequate water supply.</p>\r\n<h4>The Western Plains</h4>\r\n<p>The arid Western Plains cover more than two thirds of the state, though they are sparsely populated compared to the coastal regions. The land is fertile but has low levels of rainfall and inadequate river systems.</p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.visitnsw.com/destinations\" class=\"is-external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about visiting and exploring NSW regions</a></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.resourcesandgeoscience.nsw.gov.au/miners-and-explorers/geoscience-information\" class=\"is-external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about the geology and geotrails of NSW</a></p>\r\n<h3 id=\"councils-in-nsw\" tabindex=\"0\">Councils in NSW</h3>\r\n<p>There are many local government councils within NSW.

The University rebranded to CQUniversity in 2009 and now has more than 30 000 students. It has firmly established itself as one of the largest universities based in regional Australia, with campuses in Adelaide, Brisbane, Bundaberg, Cairns, Emerald, Gladstone, Mackay, Melbourne, Noosa, Perth, Rockhampton, Sydney and Townsville. Along with these campuses, the University also operates study centres in Biloela, Broome, Busselton, Charters Towers, Karratha and Yeppoon, and delivers programs in Cooma, Geraldton and Port Pirie, thanks to partnerships with the respective university centres in those communities.</p>\r\n<p>In 2014, CQUniversity merged with CQ TAFE bringing together more than 175 years of combined experience in the delivery of education and training and establishing Queensland&rsquo;s first comprehensive, dual sector university. As a result, CQUniversity now delivers more than 300 education and training offerings, from short courses and certificates, through to undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees. Study areas include apprenticeships, trades and training, business, accounting and law, creative, performing and visual arts, education and humanities, engineering and built environment, health, information technology and digital media, psychology, social work and community services, science and environment, and work and study preparation. As a pioneer in the delivery of distance education, CQUniversity also continues to be a leader in this area with almost half of the current student cohort made up of students studying off-campus, many of whom are based in rural and remote areas.</p>\r\n<p>After more than half a century working with stakeholders in regional Australia, CQUniversity is now a renowned research institution in several key disciplines and the benchmark leader for how universities should engage and collaborate with communities and industry. Its applied research focus is oriented towards real-world outcomes, with the purpose of providing solutions to challenges and identifying new opportunities for advancement in our regions and beyond.</p>\r\n<p><label for=\"ct-accordion--int13\" class=\"ct-accordion__header\"><span class=\"ct-accordion__title\">WHY STUDY AT CQUNIVERSITY</span><span class=\"ct-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"visuallyhidden\">REVEAL CONTENT FOR WHY STUDY AT CQUNIVERSITY</span><svg xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" width=\"13\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 13 18\"><path fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" stroke=\"#C9C9C9\" stroke-width=\"2\" d=\"M4 4l6 5.637L4 15\"></path></svg></span></label></p>\r\n<div class=\"ct-accordion__content\">\r\n<p><strong>QUALITY EDUCATION, WHEREVER YOU ARE</strong><br />Between our reputation for learning, teaching and research, our renowned online education offering, and our status as Australia&rsquo;s largest regional university, rest assured you will get a world-class education when you choose CQUniversity.</p>\r\n<p><strong>WIDE CHOICE OF STUDY AREAS</strong></p>\r\n<p>Select from allied health, accounting, aviation, business, digital media, education, engineering, hospitality, human resource management, information systems and technology, management, nursing, psychology, science, tourism, transport and safety sciences, social innovation and more to suit your personal interests and career goals.</p>\r\n<p><strong>EXPERIENCE AND SUPPORT</strong>&nbsp;<br />CQUniversity's strong focus on student experience ensures that you are prepared and supported on your student journey.<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.cqu.edu.au/student-life/new-students/student-support\">Support services</a><span>&nbsp;</span>include on-campus<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.cqu.edu.au/international-students/studying-in-australia/orientation\">orientation<span>&nbsp;</span></a>to assist your transition into university life, course and career advice, financial support options, study support, ongoing assistance through the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.cqu.edu.au/student-life/new-students/student-support/student-mentors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Student Mentor program</a>, counselling services, support for students with a disability or medical conditions, Indigenous student support and more.</p>\r\n<p><strong>ONLINE STUDY</strong>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>A pioneer in<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.cqu.edu.au/international-students/online-study-for-international-students\">online study</a>, CQUniversity has more than two decades of experience providing high quality online learning experiences.
