Exploring Sydney
SYDNEY
Sydney is Australia’s largest city, and also has the distinction of being the state capital of New South Wales. Also affectionately referred to as “the Harbour City”, Sydney is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. In a word, diversity rules here, as it’s a major destination for immigrants.
The metropolitan area of Sydney is surrounded by beautiful parks, such as Hyde Park and Royal Botanical Gardens, not to mention many national parks, and contains several bays, inlets and rivers.
Coupled with Sydney Harbour, Sydney has deservedly garnered a top reputation of being one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Beauty goes beyond skin deep in Sydney, though. This exciting cit y is an international hub for arts, commerce, fashion, entertainment, culture, education and even tourism. It ranks as one of the top 10 most livable cities in the world, and the quality of life there is nothing short of superb.
As expected there’s always something happening in Sydney. Here are some more highlights:
* Take a ferry to Manly Beach, one of the many beautiful beaches that Sydney has to offer.
* If you’re a thrill-seeker, take a Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb for unparalleled views of the landscape.
* Located at the end of Mrs. Macquarie’s Road, Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is a sandstone rock-cut bench creating a look-out point to beautiful Sydney Harbour, in all of its panoramic splendor. Inscribed on the bench are details of the road to this point. It was created in the 19th century for Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s wife, Elizabeth, as she was known to visit the area, and enjoyed gazing out at the views of the harbour.
* Located on Mrs. Macquarie’s Point, the St. George Open Air Cinema is a great way to catch a good flick.
