The Destination
Sydney’s origins trace back to an area inhabited by Indigenous Australians for over 30,000 years, first visited by Europeans in the 1770’s and settled as a penal colony in 1788. With a population of around five million, Sydney is a cosmopolitan, open-minded, multicultural city. Nearly half of its residents speak a language other than English at home and 36% were born overseas. Sydney is consistently ranked as one of the best cities to live globally, and it is renowned for its social inclusion, diversity and tolerance, and healthy lifestyle.
Excursions & Activities
Various activities may include:
- Visit the Royal National Park and catch sight of kookaburras, lyre birds and echidnas.
