So, Why Sydney?

You may be wondering why I chose to focus so much on Sydney, Australia.  The main reason is that I find this city very interesting.  Sydney also plays a huge part in Australian history.  In the book that I read, In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson, there was a lot of interesting facts and stories about Sydney.  Sydney is filled with so much great history that you could honestly blog about it for a year and still not cover everything.  As I've said, whether you want to go to an aquarium, a museum, or an amazing opera house, Sydney's got it all.  I have yet to go to Australia but I hopefully will get to go there soon.  I most definitely want to go to Sydney.  Out of the many cities in Australia, I think Sydney defines Australia the most today.  Yes, it is a major tourist city and yes, it is unlike the rural plains and deserts of most of Australia, but honestly, what would Australia be without Sydney?  Sydney is considered to be a sister city that connects with many other countries, from China to Great Britain to the United States.  There were many places in Sydney that I could have focused on, but I chose to focus on specific places.  These places I picked because they seemed the most interesting to me, so I thought I would share my findings from the book and from other sources with you.  Yes, I could have talked about places like Melbourne and Adelaide, two great Australian cities, but I chose to talk about the most well known Australian city.  This may seem like I was just taking the easy route, but in reality, I was trying to give my readers a closer look at Australia's biggest and most diverse cities.  I hope that you enjoyed my blog and thank you for taking the time to read it.  I also hoped you learned something about Australia that you didn't know before reading my blog.  Once again, thank you, and I hope you now have a greater understanding of some of the key places in Austalia.
