Sydney, Australia – The Heart of the City

At the heart of the city of Sydney lies its convict past and European settlement by the English intent on creating a colony by exporting their unwanted under classes, but this is not the whole story!

Sydney is a city of stories. Of visions grander than its colonial masters could have ever possibly envisioned. Of developments born out of the necessity of its isolation and the unintended freedoms of expression by the men and women who, whether by choice or transportation, laboured to create what is today, a vibrant multicultural metropolis.
