About Sydney

Sydney legger seg rundt en glitrende naturhavn, med et berømt operahus med seiltak, gylne surfestrender og et avslappet liv utendørs.

Sydney Opera House og Sydney Harbour Bridge ser mot hverandre over Circular Quay, der fergene kommer og går. The Rocks, det gamle koloniale kvarteret, har pubber i sandstein og helgemarkeder, og Royal Botanic Garden svinger seg rundt Farm Cove til Mrs Macquarie's Chair, for den klassiske utsikten over begge landemerkene.
