Sydney attractions
Sydney represents a sprawling metropolis with seaside suburbs stretching for more than 30 km to the north and 24 km to the south. The city extends west in a broad sweep about 60 km to the hilly area of the Blue Mountains, including historic Parramatta, which is a city in its own. More than 3.3 million people live in this entire area.
Sydney is divided into nearly equal parts by Sydney Harbour (Port Jackson) and the Parramatta River, which falls into it.
To the north Sydney comes to an end at Broken Bay (Palm Beach) which leads into Pittwater and the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, a huge tract of bushland. Along with Pittwater, these waterways are popular, sheltered boating and fishing areas.
Port Hacking forms the southern border of the city and marks the start of the Royal National Park, a large tract of National bushland of about 150 square km, bisected by the very large and deep Cowan Creek and parts of the Hawkesbury River.
North of Port Hacking one will find Botany Bay, filled up by the waters of the Georges River. The river is another popular boating spot, but Botany Bay is open and quite shallow, quickly becoming rough in windy weather.
On the north-western shore of Botany Bay there is Sydney Airport.
Sydney's districts and attractions
Sydney divides spatially into several major areas. Districts were determined according to their variety and concentration of things to see and do so visitors can get a real feel for Sydney's history and lifestyle.
