About Sydney

Australia's most well-known city also boasts a long and colorful history. Inhabited by aborigines for approximately 40,000 years, Sydney was first settled by Europeans in 1788, when England's First Fleet arrived with a cargo of prisoners. Intended primarily as a penal colony, the settlement began to develop quickly after its first years, thanks to an influx of military immigrants and, then, gold prospectors who came to seek their fortunes inland. By the start of the 20th century, Australia's states had united, and the nation was established. These days, much of the continent's perceived identity comes from Sydney's global presence. The bustling, international city is the focus for finance, biotechnology, and information communications technology. It's also a welcoming destination for leisure, sightseeing, and entertainment. Spectacular Sydney Harbour and the city's soaring Opera House serve as landmarks in the community, along with Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Tower. Other fascinating spots include the shops and restaurants of The Rocks historical district (site of Sydney's original settlement), the family-friendly entertainment of Darling Harbour, and the cultural and leisure opportunities at Circular Quay, the city's transportation hub. While Bondi and Manly Beaches merit a jaunt out from the Central Business District (CBD), the allure of the city and its vibrant, genial spirit seldom fail to entice folks back to a world capital that can just as easily serve up a vegemite sandwich as host the 2000 Summer Olympics, mate.

Did you know?

Many folks know that Sydney began life as a British penal colony, populated by convicts who often committed crimes as innocuous as petty theft. What most folks don't realize is that the criminals were only sent to Australia once the American colonies ousted the British from their territory. Prior to that, English convicts were shipped across the Atlantic.
