Sidney, Australia was the first stop on my tour to Australia and New Zealand. Sydney is the capitol of the State of New South Wales, Australia. and it’s located on Australia’s southeastern coast . It’s the country’s largest city and one of the most important ports in the South Pacific. In addition, what I found very interesting was that in the early 19th century Sydney was just a small convict settlement and its settlers lived solely on the coastline, However, despite that, Sydney had already established trade relationships with the Pacific Islands, India, China, South Africa and the Americas and that’s why it’s the only port in Australia with an international atmosphere. And indeed, it is!
So I d that the best was to see Sydney was to take the Hop-on, Hop-Off bus . I visited The Sydney Opera House, The Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay, had a tour by Auntie Margaret of the history of the Aborigines and ultimately I visited Bondi Beach.
Here are some images that will give you a sense of this very interesting city.

Sydney is a vibrant and interesting city. It’s very clean, the people are very friendly and the food is great. Shopping is wonderful and seriously, I can’t think of one reason except the flightsLol that you shouldn’t put Sydney on your future trip list!
