Located on Australia’s southeastern coast, Sydney is the country’s largest city. Because of its magnificent harbor, it is also one of the most important ports in the South Pacific.
Famous for the gleaming white Sydney Opera House and its picturesque waterfront, Sydney is the largest and oldest city in Australia. The capital of the state of New South Wales, it stretches along roughly 45 miles (70 kilometers) of the southeastern coast of the country-continent. Sydney is one of the chief transportation centers of the South Pacific, with a busy international airport and four distinct harbor zones granting access to world trade routes via the Tasman Sea. At the heart of the city are Sydney Harbour (also
called Port Jackson) and the central business district. Some 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the north is another harbor, Broken Bay, which is fed by the Hawkesbury River. Botany Bay and Port Hacking are, respectively, 10 miles (16 kilometers) and 17 miles (27 kilometers) south of downtown. The western suburbs extend to the foothills of the Blue Mountains, nearly 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the coast.
