Sydney is Australia’s largest city. It’s a fast-growing, multicultural epicentre of the country. With its beautiful beaches, temperate climate, world-class education system, modern transportation system, and jobs available for everyone, it’s no wonder people are flocking to live in the city. Here are just a few of the amazing reasons Sydney is a great place to live.
A Growing and Thriving City
Home to almost half of Australia’s Top 500 companies, Sydney has a thriving retail, business, and manufacturing economy. International banks, technology companies, and professional service firms all choose to call Sydney home. Many of the city’s organisations look for student volunteers and ways to incorporate international students into the workplace and society. Sydney is a fast-growing city with plenty of opportunity for everyone.
Cafes and Coffee
Sydney is a melting pot of sophisticated eateries that display both quality in their cuisine and the abundance of local produce. Craving Chinese? Vietnamese? French? Middle Eastern? They’re all waiting as you wander around the vibrant city. The cafe culture, set up by Greeks and Italians, displays the true flavours of coffee and brings the community together.
Beautiful Mountains
A day trip to the Blue Mountains, just two hours outside the city, provides bushwalks and the Three Sisters Rock formation. Enjoy a caving adventure or find an enticing place to shop.
Spectacular Beaches
Sydney’s beaches are world-famous due to their beauty. They have fantastic surfing and swimming opportunities. Best of all, the weather is mild year-round. Enjoy the Bondi to Coogee Beach walk, or grab the opportunity to snorkel or scuba-dive.
Multiculture
Sydney has a varied population and is home to people from around the world. Korean, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, European, and Malaysian communities are just a few of the communities with cultural events and festivals you can participate in throughout the year.
Historic Landmarks
We all know about the famous Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, but the city is home to other landmarks as well. Take a historical tour or join the Sydney City Museum Crawl to learn about the country’s history. Or visit the National Maritime Museum and Australian Museum on your own.
Sydney Harbour
Sydney is a city surrounded by beautiful blue water. With more than 200 km of shoreline and picturesque islands dotting the water, Sydney Harbour is a magical place to visit. It is the setting of Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks, several boat races, and many other events throughout the year.
Amazing Art
Art is abundant at both The Museum of Contemporary Art and The Art Gallery of New South Wales. For a unique artistic perspective, there is also a sound sculpture mourning Sydney’s lost birds, Forgotten Songs.
Wine Region
Just a short drive north of the city is the Hunter Valley Wine Region, Australia’s oldest wine region. Go on a wine tour and enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings.
Sydney has numerous opportunities for employment, pleasure, and education. The city is thriving for both Australian nationals and immigrants. It’s a great place to live and work.
