A vibrant and flourishing city, built around one of the most magnificent natural harbours in the world, it's the capital of New South Wales and the oldest and largest city in Australia. Sydney is a diverse place renowned for its sunny climate and exuberant lifestyle; it's the birthplace of modern Australia, a place full of both Aboriginal and European heritage, a place with plenty to offer residents and visitors alike. The restaurant and cafe scene is an important part of this city, as is the exciting world of the arts. Sport is also a major part of the Sydney way of life, the temperate weather allowing for all sorts of leisure pursuits at any time of year. Water sports like sailing, boating and fishing are particularly popular - of course, when the temperature starts to climb, the locals head for the beach. Captain Arthur Phillip first stepped ashore in Sydney Cove in 1788.
