Sydney, the largest city in Australia, is often the start or end point for your cruise. The amazing Sydney Harbour, one of the World's largest harbours, is a boaties playground and your Cruise Ship will berth right in the heart of the City at Circular Quay.

A short walk to the famous Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and the Botanical Gardens, these offer easily accessible options for your shore visit. Visit the Historic 'Rocks' area, full of cafes, bars and some great shops. Take a ferry across to Manly to see more of the Harbour, or how about some surfing on the famous Bondi Beach.

Sydney is well-endowed with open spaces and access to waterways, and has many natural areas (botanic gardens and parks), such as the Chinese Garden of Friendship, Sydney Park, Hyde Park, The Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Sydney also has several popular museums, such as the Australian Museum (natural history and anthropology), the Powerhouse Museum (science, technology and design), the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Australian National Maritime Museum.

The urban area has around 70 harbour and ocean beaches, including the famous Bondi Beach.

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia with a population of 4.6 million. Sydney was the site of the first British colony in Australia, it was established in 1788 at Sydney Cove by Arthur Phillip, commodore of the First Fleet, as a penal colony.

The city is built on hills surrounding Port Jackson which is commonly known as Sydney Harbour, now the location of the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

Radio carbon dating suggests that the Sydney region has been inhabited by indigenous Australians for at least 30,000 years. The traditional indigenous inhabitants are the Cadigal people, whose land once stretched from south of Port Jackson to Petersham. While estimates of the population numbers before the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 remain contentious, approximately 4,000-8,000

In 1770, British sea captain Lieutenant James Cook landed at Botany Bay on the Kurnell Peninsula. where he made first contact with an Aboriginal community known as the Gweagal. Under instruction from the British government, a convict settlement was founded by Arthur Phillip, who arrived at Botany Bay with a fleet of 11 ships on 18 January 1788. This site was soon determined to be unsuitable for habitation, owing to poor soil and a lack of reliable fresh water. Phillip subsequently founded the colony one inlet further north along the coast, at Sydney Cove on Port Jackson on 26 January 1788.

The official proclamation of the founding and naming of Sydney took place nearly two weeks later on 7 February 1788. The original name was intended to be Albion, but Phillip named the settlement after the British Home Secretary, Thomas Townshend, Lord Sydney, in recognition of Sydney's role in issuing the charter authorising Phillip to establish the colony.

Rapid suburban development began in the last quarter of the 19th century with the advent of steam-powered tramways and railways, by the early 20th century, it had a population of more than a million. The Great Depression hit Sydney badly in comparison to other Australian cities but one of the highlights of the Depression era, however, was the completion of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932.

There has traditionally been a rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne since the gold rushes of the 1850s made the capital of Victoria Australia's largest and richest city. Sydney overtook Melbourne in population in the early years of the 20th century.

The climate is temperate with warm summers and mild winters, rainfall is spread throughout the year. The weather is moderated by proximity to the ocean, but more extreme temperatures are recorded in the inland western suburbs. The warmest month is January, with an average air temperature range at of 18=26c (65-79f). In winter, temperatures rarely drop below 5c (41f) in coastal areas. The coldest month is July, with rainfall fairly evenly spread through the year.

    Where do the cruise ships leave from?

Cruise ships arrive and depart from one of two dedicated passenger terminals, the Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) - Circular Quay and the White Bay Cruise Terminal. You need to check with your cruise line which one your ship will be using.

    How long does it take to get to the airport?

Its only 13km but as with any city traffic flows do vary so we would suggest a journey time between 20 and 60 minutes outside of peak flows, longer in the rush hour.
