- Summary:
-
Sydney has grown from a struggling town, dependent on convict labour, with its people facing starvation, to a world class city with a strong and vibrant economic pulse. Sydney's magnificent natural features, its harbour, Opera House and bushland all combine to make it one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Spreading across the whole Sydney Basin, the people of Greater Sydney have come from around the world, bringing with them the business and work skills needed to turn Sydney into a centre of enterprise in the Pacific and South East Asian region.
