Sydney: Vast, vibrant Sydney is the epitome of the Australian surf, sand and sun cliché. Carved out of sandstone headlands with golden beaches and world-class surf, this sun soaked city offers the ultimate in outdoor living. At the heart of the city is the harbor, arguably one of the most beautiful waterways in the world, where the curves of the Sydney Opera House shimmer in the sunlight and dozens of white sails float beneath the Harbour Bridge. The state capital of New South Wales, Sydney is Australia's oldest and largest city and is a thriving center for both business and the arts with a buzzing cafe culture, and a vibrant nightlife.
