Sydney

Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. It is located on Australia’s south-east coast in a coastal basin bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Blue Mountains to the west, the Hawkesbury River to the north and the Woronora Plateau to the south.

Sydney lies on a submergent coastline, where the ocean level has risen to flood deep river valleys carved in the sandstone. There are more than 70 harbour and ocean beaches, including the famous Bondi Beach, in the urban area.
