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 hours in winter. It is also the largest, oldest
and perhaps the most beautifully situated city in Australia. First established by the British as a
convict settlement in 1788, it is a modern cosmopolitan city that has developed into one of the
nation's major industrial, business, and manufacturing centers.
Sydney is home to nearly 4.2 million people (as at 1995). The suburbs reach out from the
city center and harbor creating a metropolitan area of about 3000 square kilometers. The 57
square kilometers harbor is one of the largest in the world and famous for the unmistakable 134
high arch of the Harnour 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 center are the attractive old residential suburbs of Bal main. Glebe,
and Padding ton where many people live in smart terraced :souses. Art galleries. pubs, and
restaurants abound in the cosy streets that end to be quite narrow, whereas the suburbs
surrounding the city's colleges and universities consist mainly of family homes and multi-
ENGLISH 10 TEST FOR blocks -an ideal situation for students looking for a home stay or to
rent. Sydney's newer suburbs now have a large multicultural population and local shopping
centers 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,
