Sydney has a lengthy and illustrious history that stretches back some 40,000 years. The first inhabitants of the area were Aboriginal tribes, with European settlers arriving in 1788. Disease and gold fever characterised the early years of settlement, with the population exploding when gold was first discovered in the area. The population has continued to steadily rise since then and is now over four million.
Sydney is built around Port Jackson, or Sydney Harbour and this is the largest natural harbour anywhere in the world. Sydney harbour leads out to the Pacific Ocean and the area is home to a large number of beaches, tucked into the various inlets and coves that line the harbour.
Sydney transport options are numerous and cater to the large numbers of domestic and international visitors who travel through the airports, train and bus stations every day. Sydney Airport operates services around the world, as well as domestic flights all over the country. Airport Link trains run from the airport to the city centre every 10 minutes and it only takes about 15 minutes' travel time. Once in the city, it is very easy to travel around. Sydney ferries operate to various destinations around the harbour, while Sydney trains and Sydney buses are easy to negotiate.
As you would expect, there are literally thousands of Sydney hotels to choose from. Whether you're looking for a family friendly apartment in the centre of town or a room with a view by the harbour or opposite the beach, there is plenty to choose from.
There are so many Sydney attractions that you could easily spend your whole holiday in and around the city. Add to these the world famous beaches such as Bondi and Manly, a thriving Sydney nightlife and great Sydney shopping and you've got the ideal holiday destination.
No trip to Sydney would be complete without a visit to the Opera House. If there's a performance on you should try and get tickets but otherwise take a guided tour and find out more about the history of this amazing building. If you have a head for heights then the Bridge Climb is probably the best way to get up close and personal with Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Sydney restaurants cover every conceivable cuisine and budget, from takeaways to fine dining. You can enjoy al fresco fish and chips in Watson's Bay, freshly cooked seafood from Sydney Fish Market, or an array of Asian specialities at one of the many food halls around the city.
