Sydney I

Sydney is the most populous city in Australia, with a metropolitan area population of approximately 4.28 million (2006 estimate). It is the state capital of New South Wales, and was the site of the first British colony in Australia. It was established in 1788 at Sydney Cove by Arthur Phillip, leader of the First Fleet from Britain. A resident of the city is referred to as a Sydneysider.
Sydney is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, which reflects its role as a major destination for immigrants to Australia. According to the Mercer cost of living survey, Sydney is Australia’s most expensive city, and the 15th most expensive in the world.

The Chinese Garden of Friendship is a Chinese garden in Darling Harbour and close to Chinatown. Modelled on the typical private gardens of the Ming Dynasty, the garden offers an insight into Chinese heritage and culture.












Wow eine Schwebebahn Station oder so total futuristisch und cool!
