Sydeny

General Introduction: Sydney is in New South Wales, it is the capital and port also the biggest city in Australia. Until 2006, Sydney's population is about 428.4 million. Sydney's climate is mild, also annual rainfall. The warmest is in January, the coldest is in July. This climate is a little bit like Shanghai in China. About 200 years ago, this was a wasteland, after two centuries of hard exploration and management; it has become one of Australia's most prosperous, the modernization and internationalization city. Australia is the typical immigration country, its language there are several, first the main language is darug; the native in Sydney is cadigal. But now the main Australia language is English.

Australia's seafood is famous in the world, in any offshore restaurant, we can enjoy Australia produce of abalone, oyster, the emperor crab, lobster or balmain bugs (a kind of sea crab).

I think the best tourist line is: the first day, you can go to the famous Sydney tower and the Sydney opera house. The next day, you would go to Australian Reptile Park & Wildlife Sanctuary, and in that night, we will go to Paddy’s Market and The Rocks Market for shopping. On the third day, you can go to the Central Coast to enjoy swimming, but also we will go fishing for fun and enjoy the Hawkesbury taste the delicious seafood for dinner. I choose to these places because these places are representing Sydney culture and local feature, but I also like this places all.

Brief Introduction:

1. The Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on Bennelong Point. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect J?rn Utzon, who in 2003 received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour. The citation stated“ There is no doubt that the Sydney Opera House is his masterpiece. It is one of the great iconic buildings of the 20th century, an image of great beauty that has become known throughout the world – a symbol for not only a city, but a whole country and continent. ”The Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007.

It is one of the world's most distinctive 20th century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world. The Sydney Opera house:Was designed by Danish architect J?rn Utzon. Was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20 October 1973. Presented, as its first performance, The Australian Opera's production of War and Peace by Prokofiev. Cost $AU 102,000,000 to build. Conducts 3000 events each year. Provides guided tours to 200,000 people each year.

Has an annual audience of 2 million for its performances. Includes 1000 rooms. Is 185 metres long and 120 metres wide. Has 2194 pre-cast concrete sections as its roof. Has

roof sections weighing up to 15 tons. Has roof sections held together by 350 kms of tensioned steel cable. Has over 1 million tiles on the roof. Uses 6225 square metres of glass and 645 kilometres of electric cable.

The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Contrary to the implication of the name, it houses a multi-venue performing arts centre, rather than a single Opera theatre. As well as hosting many touring productions in a variety of performance genres, the Sydney Opera House is a major presenting venue for Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Symphony. It is administered by the Sydney Opera House Trust, under the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts.

2. The Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is the main crossing of Sydney Harbour carrying vehicular, rail, and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore. The dramatic water vista of the bridge together with the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of both Sydney and Australia. The bridge is colloquially referred to as the Coathanger because of its arch-based design, although this usage is less prevalent than it once was. The iconic Bridge is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2007.

The bridge was the city's tallest structure until 1967. According to Guinness World Records, it is the widest long-span bridge in the world and is the largest steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour.The bridge's two ends are located at Dawes Point (in Sydney's Rocks area) and Milsons Point (in Sydney's lower North Shore area). It carries six lanes of road traffic on its main roadway, two lanes of road traffic (formerly two tram tracks) and a footpath on its eastern side, and two railway tracks and a bicycle path along its western side. The western side being 305mm larger that the east side.The road across the bridge is known as the Bradfield Highway and is about 2.4 km (1.5 miles) long, making it one of the shortest highways in Australia. (The shortest, also called the Bradfield Highway, is found on the Story Bridge in Brisbane). At 48.8 m (151.3 feet) wide, it is the widest long-span bridge in the world (Guinness World Records, 2004).

The bridge deck portion of the highway is 1.15 km (0.71 miles) long. It is concrete and lies on trimmers (beams that run along the length of the bridge). The trimmers themselves rest on steel beams that run along the width of the bridge. The trimmers and beams are visible to boats that pass underneath the bridge.

The total weight of the bridge is 52,800 tonnes, and six million hand-driven rivets hold the bridge together. The rivets were made at the Park Bridge Ironworks in Lancashire England.The two pairs of pylons at each end are about 89 m (276 feet) high and are made of concrete and granite. Abutments, which support the ends of the bridge, are contained at the base of the pylons. They prevent the bridge from stretching or compressing due to temperature variations.

3. Sydney Tower

The Sydney Tower Eye - often referred to by Sydneysiders as Sydney Tower, Centrepoint Tower, AMP Tower, Westfield Centrepoint Tower or Sydney Skytower,

amongst other names - has been an integral part of the famous Sydney skyline for the past 30 years. Find out more about this iconic Sydney landmark.Construction of Sydney Tower Centrepoint shopping centre began in the late 1970's with the first 52 shops opening in 1972. The office component was completed in 1974 and the final stage of the complex, the Sydney Tower, was opened to the public in August 1981.

Ranked as one of the safest buildings in the world, the striking design has made the tower capable of withstanding earthquakes and extreme wind conditions.The construction of Sydney Tower is an interesting tale of engineering and quality construction.Pre-made individual barrel units formed the shaft of the tower and the four levels of the turret structure were constructed at the base of the shaft and raised to the top as work progressed.The shaft supporting the turret is made up of 46 barrels units, each weighing 27 tonnes. These were brought on to the site in seven pieces and welded together. Once the first three sections were in place, a gantry crane was erected to hoist the remaining 43 barrel units.Each barrel unit was completed with lift rails, stairwells and hydraulic risers before hoisting.

The shaft contains two sets of fire stairs, fire, electrical and plumbing ducts in one half and the lift shafts in the remainder.Once the tower structure was complete, the spire was erected. This was done in two parts, by placing one half and then lifting the top section onto the bottom section. The crane did not have the reach to lift the spire from the top, so it was lifted from the side. This was achieved despite the difficulties of maintaining adequate balance.

4. University of Sydney

University of Sydney students and researchers come from all over the world and all backgrounds to prepare for a life of challenge and change.They are unique among Australia's leading universities in the breadth of disciplines we offer, providing wide opportunities for personal development and cross-disciplinary study that delivers unique insights and breakthroughs.

5. The Koala

The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereous) is a thickset arboreal marsupial herbivore native to Australia, and the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae.

The Koala is found in coastal regions of eastern and southern Australia, from near Adelaide to the southern part of Cape York Peninsula. Populations also extend for considerable distances inland in regions with enough moisture to support suitable woodlands. The Koalas of South Australia were largely exterminated during the early part of the 20th century, but the state has since been repopulated with Victorian stock. The Koala is not found in Tasmania or Western Australia

The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on Bennelong Point. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jim Utzon, who in 2003 received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honor.
