AUSTRALIAN CITIES – A TRIP TO AUSTRALIA

Much of the land in Australia is so arid that people are unable to live on it in its undeveloped state. That explains why most Australians live in metropolitan areas, many of which line the coast, and why Australia is considered one of the world’s more urbanized countries. Australia’s cities each have their own unique character, with plenty to keep the visitor busy, however long your stay.

Sydney

Sydney is Australia’s largest city, with a population of more than 4 million. It is a prosperous business centre and people are still enjoying the success of the 2000 Olympic Games.

The city was founded by the British as a prison colony in 1788 – they chose the place because of its natural harbour. All who visit Sydney come away with memories of seeing one of the most beautiful harbours in the world, made even more spectacularby the famous bridge and opera house.
