Located on the southeast coast of Australia in New South Wales, Sydney had its beginnings just over 200 years ago as a settlement for British convicts. Today Sydney is a dynamic, thriving, cosmopolitan city of over 3 million people. The view of the Harbour is dominated by the magnificent Opera House, and the Harbour waters are filled with ferries and boats of all shapes and sizes.
