Sydney Information

Sydney is Australia's largest and most famous city. It is where Disney Pixar chose to find Nemo. A strange-looking "House" is the pride of the city. It is a city you must see and come to know, for as long as you can spare.

Visiting Sydney is a thoroughly recommended use of time and money. Sydney is the colonial birthplace of Australia, and is now its largest financial centre: many global brands choose Sydney as their headquarters, enjoying the temperate climate and thriving local economy. The curved ‘sails’ of the Sydney Opera House have become a national icon, as have many of the local performers it has hosted. From buskers to celebrated Dames, plenty of artistic talent is on display in Sydney, in its streets and theatres.

Sydney is one of the world’s most multicultural cities. Chinatown is a vibrant concentration of culture and cuisine, with fare from around the world located everywhere from the CBD to Sydney’s outskirts. As host to the 2000 Olympic Games, the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Sydney can cater to the world in style.

Whether for a day in the waves, or a long stroll, Sydney’s beaches are reason enough to make Sydney your home, for a night or two, or as a home-base from which to explore this historic corner of Australia.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

History

Sydney was named in 1788, after British Home Secretary, The First Viscount Sydney. Home to Indigenous Australians for at least 30,000 years previously, many battles were fought before settlers could ‘settle’. Tens of thousands were killed, each a custodian of the oldest culture in the world. The 1820’s saw the beginnings of a modern city develop. The ‘Harbour City’ became home to immigrants in the 1830s-40s, allowing Sydney to grow quickly into a trading and expeditions base for the country.

As Australia then developed into a region of states and their cities, a capital city needed to be purpose-built, as rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne for the title could not be be resolved. Hence, Canberra came into being. Sydney, however, remains the premier destination for travellers to Australia, and its world-class hotels, shopping, arts and tours available make it a must-see city.
