The Sydney area was the ancestral home of the Daruk tribe, whose territory extended from Botany Bay to Pittwater. There are some 2000 Aboriginal (土著居民的)rock engraving sites in the Sydney area, and many of Sydney's suburbs have Aboriginal names. The city of Sydney began life as a penal colony(指英国放逐犯人的殖民地) in 1788, and for the next 60 years received the unwanted, persecuted and criminal elements of British society. Despite its brutal beginnings, the city's mixture of pragmatic egalitarianism(平等主义)and plain indifference has transformed it into a thriving multicultural society. Sydney now attracts the majority of Australia's immigrants and the city's predominantly Anglo-Irish heritage(传统)has been revitalized by large influxes of Italian, Lebanese, Turkish, Greek, Chinese and Vietnamese. The centre of Sydney is on the south shore of the harbour, about 7km (4mi) inland from the harbour heads. The CBD (中央商务区) has become a mini Manhattan of skyscrapers vying(竞争的;竞赛的)for dominance and harbour views, but its relentlessness (指城市钢筋水泥建筑的丛林给人留下的硬邦邦的感觉) is softened by shady Hyde Park and the Domain parkland to the east, Darling Harbour to the west and the main harbour to the north. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and the harbour tunnel link the city centre with the satellite CBD of North Sydney and the suburbs of the North Shore. The city's airport, Kingsford Smith (otherwise known as Mascot), is about 10km (6mi) south of the city centre. Central Station, Sydney's main train station, is in the south of the city centre, and the main bus terminal is just outside it. The city has a population of 3.7 million and is growing fast.
Sydney, located on the southeast coast of Australia, is the capital of New South Wales and the largest and most populous city in Australia. Sydney has a highly developed financial, manufacturing and tourism industry. Among them, the world's top multinational enterprises and the headquarters of domestic and foreign financial institutions are rooted in Sydney.
Sydney is also home to the Australian Stock Exchange, the Reserve Bank of Australia and the 20th Century Fox Studio in the United States. Sydney is also the host city of many important international sports events. It has hosted the Commonwealth Games in 1938, the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 and the World Cup Rugby in 2003.
