Sydney, Australia was founded by England as a colony for prisoners.In 1788 the first group of 736 convicts arrived at what is now known as Sydney Harbor.As time passed their numbers grew and a new community took shape.The government stopped sending people when the Gold Rush of 1851 showed that the threat of going to Australia was actually encouraging crime instead of preventing it!
The city is dominated by the harbor, which people have described as one of the most spectacular in the world.There are three things that you cannot miss.First, there is Sydney Harbor Bridge, one of the largest single-arch bridges in the world.Second, the Sydney Opera House is a famous landmark that most visitors greatly anticipate seeing.Finally, don’t miss Fort Denison, where prisoners were kept for days on a diet of bread and water.The best way to get around is by boat or hydrofoil, both of which have regular services leaving from Circular Quay.
Water plays a very big role in local people’s leisure time.There are 27 miles of beaches to the north and south of Sydney, so it isn’t surprising that the locals spend so much time in the water.Two of the best-known beaches are Manly Beach and Bondi Beach, where the "beautiful young people of Sydney have been showing off their skills ever since surfing competitions were first organized there.
For those visitors who would also like to see some sites outside of Sydney, the Blue Mountains are well worth a visit.They get their name from the fact that when you look at them from a distance, they are covered in a blue mist that comes from the small drops of eucalyptus oil in the air.Wentworth Falls and the view from the Scenic Skyway are both breathtaking.
For the best view of Sydney, visit Center Point Tower.High above the city you can dine in the revolving restaurant and no seafood lover should leave Sydney without trying their world-famous Sydney Rock Oysters.For the night owls among you, make sure you go to Oxford Street to check out the city’s nightlife.
How do the Blue Mountains get the name?
