in 1788, it is a modern cosmopolitan city that has developed into one of the nation's major industrial, business, and manufacturing centers
Sydney is home to nearly 4.2 million people (as at 1995) The suburbs reach out from the city center and harbor creating a metropolitan area of about 3000 square kilometers The 57 square kilometers harbor is one of the largest in the world and famous for the unmistakable 134 high arch of the Harnour Bridge and the graceful sails of the Opera House It is a busy waterway with ferries, freighters, hydrofoils and pleasure craft
Not far from the city center are the attractive old residential suburbs of Balmain, Glebe and Paddington where many people live in smart terraced souses Art galleries, pubs, and restaurants abound in the cosy streets that end to be quite narrow, whereas the suburbs surrounding the city's colleges and universities consist mainly of family homes and multi-unit blocks - an ideal situation for students looking for a home stay or to rent Sydney's newer suburbs now have a large multicultural population and local shopping centers reflect the influences of many cultures
As well as scores of cinemas and theatres throughout the city and suburbs there are numerous clubs which appeal to people of all ages and cater for all tastes Pubs are the venue for smaller modern bands, while the big-name popular music artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge Entertainment Center in the heart of the city
