Best Time to go – All year round destination, although Autumn, from March 1 to May 31, is cheaper and quieter. Sydney is the largest city in Australia and state capital of New South Wales. At over 4.5 million people Sydney dwarfs the country’s capital, Canberra. Among the first Europeans to arrive in the area was Captain Cook who landed at Botany Bay in 1770. Cook was followed by another British naval officer, Arthur Phillip, who established a penal colony at Sydney Cove, which was to become the city if Sydney. Under governor Major-General Lachlan Macquarie he city saw rapid growth with roads, bridges, wharves, public buildings, banks, markets, and thoroughfares being constructed. The city population swelled during the gold rushes of the mid 19th century, which brought migrants from around the world. To this day Sydney continues to attract people from overseas giving it a genuine multi-cultural feel. Sydney has undergone a significant economic shift since the 1980s with jobs moving from manufacturing to the services and information sectors, and the city rovides about 25 percent of the country's total GDP. The central area of Sydney is made up of 5 main areas: The City (Home to most of Sydney's famous tourist and cultural attractions); The Rocks (Includes the first colonial village of Sydney and Harbour Bridge); Darling Harbour (Leisure and entertainment area); Haymarket and Chinatown (Contains markets, cafes, chinese culture and cuisine); East Sydney Kings Cross (Good nightlife, bars, and fashion stores).
