There was a post a week ago on this subreddit asking why they don't reopen passenger services to Mildura, with the consensus being there was not great enough population for it.

However, Queensland runs the Inlander to Mt Isa, a town significantly smaller than Mildura, with only one decent sized town on the way (Charters Towers).

So if Queensland can run the Inlander, why can't Victoria run a V/Line to Mildura?

I don't necessarily want to subject myself to a long drive if I'm going camping / walking, but I want to go somewhere different, as I spend quite a bit of time in the Blue Mountains due to its proximity to me.

Therefore, what are some good outdoors places accessible by public transport in NSW (and not just around Sydney) aside from the Blue Mountains. I'm interested in both day trips and weekends away
