Sydney

Down Under capital

Sydney is Australia's largest city and the capital of New South Wales, situated around a natural harbor.

The Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge are iconic landmarks.

Sydney also serves as a given name for both men and women, though the spelling Sidney is more traditional for males.

We flew into Sydney last March.
