Sydney is Australia’s most exciting city. The history of Australia begins here. In 1788 Captain

Arthur Philips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1624 passengers from Britain (including 770

prisoners). Today there are about 3.6 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, the

busiest port in the South Pacific and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In Sydney, the buildings

are higher, the colors are brighter and the nightlife is more exciting.

There are over 20 excellent beaches close to Sydney and its warm climate and cool winter have

made it a favorite city for immigrants from overseas. There are two things that make Sydney famous; its

beautiful harbor, Sydney Harbor Bridge, which was built in 1932 and Sydney Opera House. It was

opened in 1973.
