Location

Sydney... home of the famous Opera House and the 2000 Olympics. Sydney is the largest city in Australia with a population of 4 million people. Located on a beautiful natural harbor on the Pacific ocean, Sydney holds all of the attractions of a cosmopolitan city with a uniquely Australian flavor.

Many people have the mistaken impression that Sydney is the only attraction in the state of New South Wales. With a landmass greater than every US state except Alaska, NSW has a lot to offer. According to Fodor's guide, NSW "gives a taste of most of the natural wonders that Australia has to offer-from desert Outback to subtropical rain forest to snow-covered mountains-all within easy reach of the country's largest, most glamorous city."
