===========================
Welcome to Sydney!
This vibrant city is known for its yacht-studded harbour, superb beaches, and the iconic Opera House with its towering sail structure with glittering white shell-shaped roofs that seem to echo the sails of the many yachts in the harbour. Once a British colony of exiled convicts, Sydney has grown into Australia's most diverse and cosmopolitan city with an exciting food, arts, and entertainment scene.

Other attractions include the Sydney Mardi Gras, Royal Botanical Gardens, Luna Park, the beaches, and Sydney Tower. The Sydney New Year's Eve fireworks attract more than 1.5 million visitors to Sydney Harbour annually.

Modern Sydney is home to one of the world's most culturally diverse populations. There is a strong presence of East Asian and South Asian diasporas, contributing to Sydney's growing reputation for showcasing Asian contemporary art.

10 Best Foods to Eat in Sydney

• Barramundi.
• Sydney rock oyster.
• Australian prawns.
• Avocado on toast.
• Bacon and egg roll.
• Lamington cake.
• Potato cake.
• Yellowfin tuna.

Interesting Facts About Sydney

• The nickname of Sydney is Sin City.
• Sin City was the name given in the 20th century because of the crime rate and corruption.
• Sydney is 610 miles across, which is more than double New York's 301 square miles.
• George Street in Sydney is the oldest street in Australia.

Music
Australia has a long tradition of country music and has developed a style quite distinct from its US counterpart. The early roots of Australian country music are related to traditional folk music traditions of Ireland, England, Scotland, and many diverse nations. "Botany Bay" from the late 19th century is one example.

Waltzing Matilda, often regarded as Australia's unofficial national anthem, is a quintessential Australian folk song influenced by Celtic folk ballads.

The cello was named Australia's favourite instrument in the 2023 Classic 100, held by ABC Classic and ABC Jazz.
In the second-most popular countdown in 22 years, audiences were asked to vote for their favourite instrument across all cultures and musical traditions. The cello was a unanimous favourite, no matter voters' gender or where in Australia they live.

Be ready to leave your heart in Sydney!
