One of the major cities of the world, Sydney was well and truly put on the map when it hosted the Olympics in 2000. However, there is so much more to this thriving metropolis than sport, and it has stories to tell from much further back in time.

It is undoubtedly one of the world's most beautiful cities, situated on a breathtaking natural harbour. The Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are two of the most instantly recognisable landmarks, and make a fabulous introduction to a city with a culture and diversity which is hard to beat. With its temperate climate, Sydney has all the trappings of an outdoor lifestyle, in addition to the culture, history and architecture you would expect of a major world city.

Just outside this vibrant, blue city you will find the Blue Mountains . A genuine treasure, this World Heritage Site has enough spectacular scenery, exciting attractions, restaurants and activities to keep you captivated for a lifetime.
