ACTIVITIES

City information

The first port and the most ancient and biggest city (1735 km2) of the country, the capital of the New South Wales, on the coast. Sydney developed around the magnificent site of Port Jackson, chosen in 1788 as the installation of 1487 colonists, among which 759 convicts come from England. Historic buildings; the St-James church and Hyde Park barracks (in the beginning of the XIX century) and of remarkable modern constructions; Tour Centres point (305 m height) and its gyrating restaurant, the opera and its very popular and particular roof inaugurated in 1973 and the Harbour Bridge ( 1932 ) of 504 m length, which connects the North and the South of the city.

Dynamic city with its very active port and its 3 universities, Sydney also receives thousands of tourists attracted by its famous beaches, as that of Bondi. But Sydney is a city at the edge of the ocean, in the mouth of a river, at feet of a chain of hills, with a centre reserved for the business, shopping and spectacles, a vast crown of suburbs. Let us add some magnificent monuments, the Iron bridge and the Opera, the colonial districts. Sydney likes swimming and drinking, dancing and eating, promenading and playing. Vast beaches give rhythm of the city-dwellers week end, to the subtropical climate offering days of radiant light which are true happiness. 65 kilometres West of Sydney throne the old Blue Mountains of 170 million years, modeled by the volcanic activity, dug by deep canyons. Seen far away, these mountains have generally a bluish tint, a phenomenon provoked by the mist of the vapours which escapes from eucalyptus forests when they absorb the infrared rays of the sun.
