Sydneysiders
Opera House neighbors
Sydneysiders are residents of Sydney, Australia's largest city.
The term carries a casual, affectionate tone and appears frequently in Australian media and everyday speech: Sydneysiders are bracing for a summer heatwave.
Like similar formations (Londoners, New Yorkers), it identifies both permanent residents and those who claim the city as home.
