Australia's New South Wales
Sydney
The magic of Sydney strikes you even before you land. High in the air you forget the hours spent cramped and begin to imagine the great many things to come as you stare out to the harbor below where thousands of yachts prance in the dark waters and the sail like domes of the Opera House sing your welcome.
This is Sydney, the mammoth capital of the great Australia, the largest most cosmopolitan city on the continent. It is a haven of culture and a prized home among its inhabitants. Indented with sweeping bays and pristine beaches, Sydney Harbor reigns proudly as the icon of the capital, and for urban Australia. The first settlement of its European ancestors, Sydney retains the rebellious zeal and appetite for life that pushed its original settlers to survive the journey from England.
Very much international in its persona, Sydney boasts a buzzing nightlife and posh coastal scene. However, just behind its cosmopolitan doors waits an authentic introspection into the charmed land it leads.
