Australia’s oldest City

Traditional Custodians are the Eora Nation, who have lived in this area for tens of thousands of years. In the Sydney Basin it is the Gadigal clan.

Current population of greater Sydney is over 5.3 million people.

Sydney is a financial, advertising and legal hub for Australia and South East Asia. It is considered one of the 10 most influential cities in the world by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. It’s most iconic feature, the Opera House is one of the most recognisable buildings in the world. With 100 beaches, 88 golf clubs, Parks, Stadiums, Museums, Yacht clubs, Superb shopping and restaurant districts, Sydney has often been voted amongst the most liveable cities on Earth. The physical beauty of the city, its harbour, architectural styles and favourable climate make it a great city.

While in Sydney, you can take tours, use the public transport system, walk through the many attractions and kilometres of harbour foreshore. One of the attractive highlights of the city is the Sydney Harbour National Park, which combines parks and islands freely available to all.

There are also theatres, bars, restaurants, cafes and street food to delight every palate.

Last but by no means least, Sydney has a great amount of Aboriginal tours, mostly walking tours of various sites such as Barangaroo Reserve, and The Rocks Dreaming tour to name just a couple. These tours use aboriginal guides to give you a unique perspective on the land you are visiting and its significance to those who were here before European settlement.
