Home to Aboriginal tribes until the arrival of James Cook in 1770, Sydney is now often mistaken for Australia’s capital.

With its Aboriginal heritage and modern outlook, Sydney is a city of many dimensions. Combining breathtaking cityscapes, hundreds of miles of coastline, and a warm tropical climate, Sydney provides everything needed for a memorable stay.

I think Sydney is the most beautiful city. I went this year for Christmas and the New Year, stayed for a month. It was so overwhelming. Wooloomooloo and the Harry De Wheels for a tiger curry meat pie is definitely a must.
I love this place so much I go there every year!
