Host City - Sydney
Sydney, a dazzling and vibrant cosmopolitan built around one of the world's most beautiful harbours. Sydney has a wide range of attractions including art galleries, museums, theatres, opera and music as well as parks, gardens, sparkling beaches and the harbourside Taronga Zoo. Sydney's restaurants reflect the multicultural diversity with an exemplary choice in all cuisines. Why not try surfing at our glorious beaches, or sailing on our magnificent harbour. These are only two of the activities that you can pursue while staying in Sydney.
The visual excitement and variety of the harbour city is matched by the diversity and energy of its four million people. High-rise buildings of the central business districts look across the water at green headlands of the national parks and comfortable garden suburbs. To the west, the World Heritage Blue Mountains stand as a spectacular barrier to the inland, while the ever-changing moods of the Pacific Ocean dominate the beaches, which stretch for miles north and south from the forbidding cliffs of Sydney Heads.
The harbour is always busy with commercial and pleasure craft and it is easy for visitors to participate in water sports such as swimming or sailing or to enjoy the scene as spectators on a ferry cruise. There are many attractive bushwalks close to the city where the unique plant and bird life can be appreciated by day. Most of the native animals are nocturnal, but possums and flying foxes (fruit bats) are often glimpsed in the parks and gardens.
Dining out is a favourite activity in Sydney – the abundance of ingredients and the influences of many cultures make for great choices in style and cost. Sample fabulous Australian cuisine and taste some of the local wines.
Sydney's cultural scene is vibrant. The Opera House with its graceful sails is home to the Sydney Symphony, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Australian Ballet and the Sydney Theatre Company. There are many venues specialising in music from the classics to disco, theatre and film including those from the rising generation of young Australian directors.
Sydney looks forward to welcoming you to its shores to experience the endless variety and beauty it has to offer.
