Sydney, state capital of NSW, is with a population of
approximately 4.4 million the largest city in Australia.
The city is often called "the Harbour City" because the
many boats that go for anchor at one of the city harbours. Sydney was the first British colony in Australia and was
established in the year 1788 by Arthur Phillip, commodore of
the 1st. British fleet at a location called Sydney Cove.
The history of the Sydney region goes actually back in
time for at least 30.000 years. The first indigenous
Australians who lived there centuries ago in Sydney cove are
the Cadigal people. These aboriginal
Australians as Cadigal people are also called where
living from the south or Port Jackson to Petersham region.
The city is surrounded by many nature parks, beautiful
bays with boats and rivers so it is a true paradise for
nature lovers who like water sports like sailing, scuba
diving, jet skying or water skying behind a motorboat.
