Sea in Sydney Print

It is hard to imagine that the vibrant capital of New South Wales, with its impressive harbor, the white sails of the Opera House and the graceful arch of Harbor Bridge, was once a colony for criminals. The oldest, largest and most beautiful of all Australian cities with the sea in the heart is the city of Sydney.

A bit of history
After the landing of the first expedition of James Cook at the end of the 18th century. a settlement was established on the shores of Botany Bay, consisting of pardoned English criminals. Permanent riots and uprisings in a town named after the British lord lasted until the first half of the 18th century. The situation changed with the discovery of a nearby gold deposit. The start of industrial mining of the precious metal contributed to the influx of the working-age population into the city and the development of infrastructure. The rapid growth in the number of residents (from 39 thousand to 200 thousand for a period of less than 20 years) had a positive impact on the political structure and development of Sydney. Educational and administrative institutions, theaters and clubs, hospitals and schools were erected. The sea, rivers and numerous bays and canals have created a good network of water transport links on the coast. You can get acquainted with the history of the first British colony in Australia, founded in 1788 by Captain Arthur Philip, with the help of guides in the magnificent museums of the city and on its old stone-paved streets.
