travel destinations around the world
Sydney is the capital city of New South Wales and the largest city in Australia by population. Located on the south-eastern coast of the continent, it lies along the Tasman Sea and is built around one of the world’s largest natural harbors. Sydney is Australia’s primary global city and a major financial, cultural, and economic center in the Asia-Pacific region.
Australia has a human history extending back more than 60,000 years, shaped by Indigenous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. The land around modern Sydney was originally inhabited by the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, who lived along the harbour and coastline, relying on fishing, hunting, and seasonal food sources.
