Sydney,
the capital of New
South Wales, is Australia's oldest and largest
city with a population of around 4 million. Sydney is
built around a huge harbour and hosts many tourist attractions
as well as a number of beaches, bays and a couple of national parks. |
Sydney
has many influences upon its style. Aboriginal sites and engravings
can still be seen from the original occupiers, the Eora tribe.
The city also has an anglo-mediterranean style and a growing
Chinese and Asian influence.
The city is divided into North and South by the Sydney Harbour, with both Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel connecting them. Most of the tourist attractions are in the South part of the city, with a large business and residential area in the North. |
