Sydney accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “The Harbour City”.

Sydney known for: harbor, opera house, beaches, coves, bays, saltwater tidal pools, rivers, bridges, museums, historic buildings, historic sites, shopping malls, parks, gardens, reserves, ovals, coastal hiking trails, shipwrecks, superyachts, surfing, topless sunbathing

Located on Australia’s southeastern coast, Sydney is nestled inside Sydney Harbour (Tasman Sea inlet – South Pacific Ocean). The Harbour City is about half-way between fellow coastal cities Brisbane (northward) and Melbourne (southward). Flowing through northern Sydney, the Parramatta River mixes with salt water (becoming estuarine) near the Charles Street Weir (Parramatta CBD – westward). The Parramatta flows past Sydney Opera House before emptying into Sydney Harbour.

When traveling to Sydney there are some things to keep in mind. Both traffic and weather can be unpredictable at times. Generally welcoming, Sydney residents are not shy when it comes to swearing. Keep in mind that topless sunbathing is common on Sydney beaches. Sharks are best avoided by swimming in daylight only. When walking / biking recreationally keep an eye out for Magpies (Swoop Birds). During nesting season (August-October – September peak month for swooping) Magpies can be aggressive and are known to swoop at pedestrians / cyclists who enter their territory. Be aware that prostitution is legal in Sydney, with Kings Cross historically being the city’s red-light district. Sydney accommodations are some of Australia’s best. Before we get to Sydney accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

 

 

For 50,000 years humans have likely settled in the Sydney area, as evidenced by flaked pebbles (possible early weaponry) discovered in Western Sydney. Early coastal clans were sustained by seafood, while “hinterland” clans likely hunted and gathered. Prior to British arrival an estimated 4,000-8,000 Aboriginal people lived in the Sydney area. Landing at Botany Bay on April 29, 1770, Lieutenant James Cook encountered the Gweagal clan (Dharawal people). Cook’s encounter marked the first meeting between Aboriginal clans and British explorers. Britain sought to establish a new penal colony at Botany Bay as a result of the Treaty of Paris (Britain loses American penal colony). Punishment at the new penal colony would  entail more manual labor than incarceration. Known as the First Fleet, 11 ships led by Captain Arthur Phillip arrived at Sydney in January, 1788. The First Fleet carried over 1,000 settlers and 736 convicts. Port Jackson would become a more suitable place than Botany Bay to settle, particularly at Sydney Cove. Arthur Phillip noted Sidney Cove, with its fresh water supply and safe harbor, as “the finest harbour in the world”. Now Governor, Phillip formally proclaimed the colony of “New South Wales” on February 7, 1788. Smallpox killed about half the area’s indigenous population in April, 1789. British settlers struggled with agriculture at the initial settlement due to poor soil quality. Former convicts received small grants of land at Parramatta, Windsor and Camden on the Cumberland Plain, which they farmed successfully. British Second and Third Fleets arrived between 1790-1791. In December, 1792 Phillip departed. The colony’s military officers acquired land and began importing goods from visiting ships. Former convicts also opened small businesses and engaged in trade. “Sydney Town” would become a place where soldiers and former convicts (with or without official permission) built homes on Crown land. By 1804 the new colony had become self-sufficient. New Governor William Bligh’s restriction on commerce and demolition of buildings erected on Crown land (some including active and non-active military officers) led to the 1808 Rum Rebellion. Initially resulting in a rebel victory (1808), the Rum Rebellion was started between the New South Wales Corps (NSWC – rebels with a stake in the rum trade) and the Colony of New South Wales. In 1808 William Bligh was deposed and arrested. The NSWC imposed martial law and installed Luitenant-Colonel George Johnston as governor. Two years later, however, the NSWC was defeated and disbanded, with Major General Lachlan Macquarie being appointed new Governor. Macquarie established a bank, a currency and a hospital, and employed a planner to design the city’s street layout. Public buildings, churches, wharves and roads were commissioned around this time. Roads were built (1811-1815) from Sydney to Parramatta, across the Blue Mountains and beyond the Great Dividing Range, allowing for large-scale farming and grazing. Following Macquarie’s departure British free settlers emigrated to New South Wales. The area’s free settler population increased from 900 to 29,000 between 1826 and 1840. In 1842 Sydney was declared a city and the New South Wales Legislative Council became a semi-elected body. Gold was discovered in New South Wales and Victoria circa 1851. Many men moved to the goldfields, which affected Sydney. After Melbourne overtook Sydney as Australia’s largest city tensions formed between the two cities. Ultimately the gold rush proved beneficial for both cities, as demand for housing, consumer goods, services and urban amenities increased in both places. Sydney’s population grew from 95,600 to 386,900 between 1861 and 1891. Characteristic terrace houses in narrow streets popped-up around that time. Abundant in the Sydney area, sandstone was used to construct new buildings (University of Sydney, Australian Museum, Town Hall, General Post Office, etc.). The late-19th century saw “coffee palaces” and hotels, while daylight sunbathing was banned at public beaches. Designated “ocean baths”, however, would remain open for a select lot. Economic depression struck Sydney during the 1890s. George Reid (Free Trade Party) served as New South Wales’s 12th premier (1894-1899). Bubonic plague struck at the turn of the 20th century. Wharves were modernized and inner-city slums were demolished. Australia’s six colonies federalized on January 1, 1901 and Sydney became New South Wales’ capital. Sydney males volunteered in droves for the World War I armed forces (reduced unemployment). A population boom ensued following WWI. “Homes fit for heroes” along with mixed industrial / residential complexes sprung-up in new “garden suburbs” such as Daceyville and Matraville. By 1926 Sydney’s population had reached 1 million. Around that time Sydney’s rail network became electric and Sydney Harbour Bridge was built. New building construction halted on account of the 1930s Great Depression. By 1933 Sydney’s unemployment rate had reached almost 30%. During World War II (May / June 1942) Sydney was attacked by Japanese submarines, resulting in 21 fatalities. Sydney Harbour’s WWII defense system was relatively primitive, consisting only of the Garden Island Tunnel System, Bradleys Head Fortification Complex and Middle Head Fortifications. Immigration and a baby boom proceeded WWII-Sydney. Suburbs throughout the Cumberland Plain filed with boomers. Children would account for over 75% of Sydney’s population growth between 1947 and 1971. Manufacturing, retail and other service industries helped bolster the city’s work force. Three controversial events occurred between the 1950s and early-70s: high-rise developments (1950s), trade union “green bans” (form of strike – early-1970s) and Sydney Opera House’s opening (Danish architect Jarn Oberg Utzoh-designed – opened 1973). Sydney transformed from a manufacturing center to a “world city” as a result of 1974 tariff protection reductions. Immigration would increase rapidly again in the 1980s.

Home to around 5.5 million “Sydneysiders”, Sydney is Oceania’s most populous city and New South Wales’ state capital. Oceania’s most traveled city, Sydney accommodates roughly 3 million international visitors annually. Along with tourism, helping to bolster the city’s advanced market economy are the manufacturing and finance sectors. Sydney being a renowned surfing destination, one of the city’s best surf breaks is found in North Narrabeen (north-Sydney suburb). The westward Blue Mountains extend north-to-south for 60 miles (highest peak 3,901 feet). Characterized by a Köppen–Geiger climate, Sydney experiences warm / hot summers and mild / cool winters. Wind pattern variations coupled with oscillating sea surface temperatures can result in relatively rapid weather changes. Summer high temperatures can exceed 100 °F, while winters average in the high-60s.
