The most populated city in all of Australia, Sydney has a very interesting past. Originally established in 1788 by British settlers, the city was started as a penal colony (a place where prisoners were sent in exile).

Finally, Sydney has a pretty stable and growing economy, with emphasis being in manufacturing, finance, and of course, tourism!
