Sydney is one of the special cities of the world, a heady combination of cosmopolitan erergy, relaxing climate and superb natural assets. This is confirmed by the millions of enthusiastic visitors who arrive each year. The city skyline etched behind the glittering harbour and flanked by the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, is an image that never fails to impress

Sydney is the city that symbolizes Australia to the rest of the world.and is the point where most overseas tourists enter the country. It is a city that is consistently voted a top world destination by major travel publications.
Aboriginal people lived here for 60000 years before the arrival of Europeans when Sydney was settled in 1788. Today Sydney remains Australias largest city, with a population of 4 million from diverse cultural backgrounds.

There is no doubt that Sydney Harbour is one of the most breathtaking in the world. Although very much a working harbour, its sparkling expanse offers the perfect escape from the big city streets. The sprawling waterways with their idyllic foreshores are an integral part of the cities identity.

The harbour also represents Sydneys prime real estate, with some magnificent properties lining the waaters edge. Fortunately much of the foreshore still offers public access, with endless opportunities for enjoyment. Splendid views, scenic walks, natural bushland, quite picnic areas, calm beaches, laid-back eateries...Sydney Harbour has it all. It also covers 55sq kilometers with 240 kms of foreshore.
