The biggest and the most developed city of Australia, Sydney gained a reputation of the Australian tourist centre. Its cultural sites and beautiful nature make Sydney a perfect place for rest. Sydney history began with the arrival of The First Fleet and its English convicts and soldiers in January 1788.

Sydney began its life as a penal colony but since that Sydney continued to grow and by 1925 became a metropolis of 1 million people. The Sydney Opera House - the original modern building on Sydney Harbour at Bennelong Point is the symbol of the city and the most significant cultural landmark. The most impressive view on Opera opens from the Darling Harbour - a former dockside area, transformed into a major tourist site.
Another place to see in Sydney is The Harbour Bridge, built in 1930s. The surroundings of Sydney are famous for their beaches - it's true surfer's paradise.
