The Sydney Opera House
An architectural masterpiece and one of Australia's most popular and well known tourist attractions, the Sydney Opera House is considered one of the best performing arts centres on earth. All forms of performing arts are represented. Approximately 3,000 events are held each year in one of the five stages of the Sydney Opera House, attracting audiences of around 2 million each year. |
The Sydney Harbour Bridge
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia's most well known and photographed landmarks. It is the world's largest (but not the longest) steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour. |
The Sydney TowerThe Sydney Tower experience takes you a staggering 250 metres above Sydney, commanding breathtaking views of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, including the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. From the beaches to the mountains, you’ll be amazed at what you can see from the highest point in town. |
The Sydney 2000 GamesThe Sydney 2000 Games were the largest yet, with 10,651 athletes competing in 300 events. Despite their size, they were well organised, renewing faith in the Olympic Movement. Birgit Fischer earned two gold medals in Kayak to become the first woman in any sport to win medals 20 years apart. Judoka Ryoko Tamura lost in the final in both Barcelona and Atlanta, but came back to win the gold medal in Sydney. Steven Redgrave became the first rower to win gold medals at five consecutive Olympics. |
