Sydney is a city set on beautiful water ways and golden beaches and blessed with
mild sunny weather. It grew around a natural harbour where less than 1,000 exiled British convicts landed at Sydney Cove in 1788. The city is the biggest and most important financial centre in Australia and has a fairly culturally mixed population of European, Asian and people of other geographical origins. |
