Named after an ex-Governor of New South Wales, Sydney is the State's capital city. Located on the south-east of
Australia in the temperate zone, it enjoys a mild climate, averaging 14.5 hours of sunshine per day in summer and 10.25

the world and famous for unmistakable 134 high arch of the Harbour Bridge and the graceful sails of the Opera House. It
is a busy waterway with ferries, freighters, hydrofoils and pleasure craft.
Not far from the city centre are the attractive old residential suburbs of Balmain, Glebe, and Paddington where many
people live in smart terraced houses. Art galleries, pubs, and restaurants abound in the cosy streets that tend to be quite
narrow, whereas the suburbs surrounding the city's colleges and universities consist mainly of family homes and multi-unit
blocks - an idea situation for students looking for a homestay or to rent. Sydney's newer suburbs now have a large
multicultural population and local shopping centres reflect the influences of many cultures.
As well as scores of cinemas and theatres throughout the city and suburbs there are numerous clubs which appeal to
people of all ages and cater for all tastes. Pubs are the venue for smaller modern bands, while the big-name popular
music artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge Entertainment Centre in the heart of the.
