Putting Sydney on the Map
Situated on Australia 's eastern coastline within the
state of New South Wales, Sydney spreads with
the rare luxury of space - 3,700 sq km (1,430 sq miles)
in all - around what is often described as one
of the finest harbours in the world. Greater
Sydney is home to over 4 million people
and, while it is not the nation's
capital, it is Australia's oldest and
largest city, as well as its media
and financial centre. Sydney is
also the main gateway to
Australia and it enjoys good
air, road and rail links to
other major centres.
