Sydney Harbour

European settlement began in 1770 when Captain James Cook landed at Botany Bay, claiming the east coast of Australia for Great Britain, although indigenous people have lived in the area for over 45,000 years, leaving behind dozens of ancient Aboriginal cultural sites.



With its sparkling harbour waters, cosmopolitan cafe culture and interesting history, Sydney is a city with plenty to enjoy.



It is a city of mixed population of various nationalities. You can find people speaking in all sort of their native languages.



Compare to Perth and Melbourne, it is alot more crowded with people, and also not as clean as well....you will notice it once you breath in the air here.







Jet boating, Cruises, Day sailing are one of the activities here.


Sydney Harbour Bridge- opened since 1932


Contrasting with the Opera House's convex sails is the dramatic steel presence of Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is accessible on foot from Watson Road and Cumberland Street in The Rocks, the bridge offers a scenic walk to Milsons Point.

People are welcomed to go for a bridge climb to the very top of the arch of the bridge which would take 3.5hours.
