SydneySydney is Australia's largest and most cosmopolitan city. It is the capital city of the state of New South Wales, but is not the capital city of Australia, as is often assumed by international visitors (Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory is Australia's capital city). Darling Harbour 
Following on from thousands of years of Aboriginal occupation, the British were the first white people to settle in Australia, arriving in Sydney in 1788. Beginning as a humble penal colony, Sydney soon developed into much, much more. 
Australia's convict history can still be seen in pockets around Sydney, in places such as The Rocks,
Cockatoo Island
and Parramatta, but today Sydney is better known for the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Convict history on Cockatoo Island
Sydney is now internationally recognised as one of the world's great cities, having been built around the immense and beautiful Sydney Harbour, and having hosted the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
