 WELCOME
TO SYDNEY...
This thriving
harbourside metropolis, populated by more than four million people, is Australia’s
best-known city, renowned for its great natural beauty and world-famous
buildings. Sydney is the gateway city to Australia and all year round hosts
a unique array of events and festivals. Sydney’s vibrancy springs
from innovative and popular restaurants, excellent shopping, clean environment,
friendly people and spectacular harbour.
Sydney is also the economic and business centre of Australia.
Almost half of the country’s top 500 companies, and the major proportion
of the regional headquarters of multinational corporations are located
here. Over the past few years, Sydney has continually ranked in the top
eight cities in the world based on a range of quality of life criteria
including political, social, economic and environmental factors.

galleries, dining establishments and designer shopping experiences. www.therocks.com
