Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, Australia. It is Australia's oldest and largest city with a population of around 4 million. Sydney is built around a huge harbour and hosts many tourist attractions as well as a number of beaches, bays and a couple of national parks.
Sydney was first visited by the British in 1770 when Captain James Cook and Joseph Banks sailed the Endeavor into Botany Bay. The First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay in 1788 under the command of Governor Arthur Phillip.
Phillip but found Botany Bay unsatisfactory and sailed north and landed at Sydney Cove on Sydney Harbour. Phillip originally named the colony 'New Albion', but then the colony acquired the name 'Sydney', after the British Home Secretary, Thomas Townshend, Lord Sydney.

Wollongong in 24 hours (Sony A7III Travel Film)
The weekend getaway is something I cant get enough of. Just to escape the city, and use the two days every week to kick back, explore and hang out with some mates. Wollongong is an adventure haven, loads of hiking, waterfalls, rock jumps, endless beaches and some incredible surfing! It's also just a short train ride south of Sydney.
While the surf was real small I was pretty happy with the results, hope you guys enjoyed this short, 1 minute travel film!
Locations:
Rock Jump at Macquarie Pass just off Albion Park
Surf at Killalea Beach, or 'The Farm'

Australia - Illawarra Fly Treetop Walk
This was in the Southern Highlands, west of Bowral, where we stayed. It is a 500 meter long, 25 meter high rainforest walk and includes two cantilevered sections, which are pretty freaky!

Parramatta, Sydney
Parramatta is a western district of Sydney, a city in its own right within the Sydney Metropolitan Area and the second oldest European settlement on the Australian mainland. Located 24 km from Sydney CBD and just 6 km from Sydney Olympic Park, Parramatta is both the demographic heart of the Harbour City and one of its most historic neighbourhoods.
Parramatta is on the upper reaches of the Parramatta River, that flows into Sydney Harbour. It was inhabited by the Barramatugal Aboriginal people. Originally called Rose Hill by the Europeans, the name was changed in line with a colonial policy of using Aboriginal names for places already named by Aboriginal people. Parramatta is likely a variation on Barramatugal.
Parramatta was the earliest vice-regal home of colonial Sydney. An agricultural settlement was established there within weeks of the first fleet arriving from Britain. The present day Sydney CBD was established as the colony's port settlement to service the more desirable Parramatta which became the preferred home of governors and the privileged free settlers in the early years of the colony. Sydney soon began to eclipse Parramatta in both size and importance over the next century, however it was the establishment of Parramatta that allowed the future global city to survive and then thrive.
Fast forward to the 20th Century.Parramatta became less of a discrete town or city following post-WWII suburban development, and as such became the centre of Western Sydney. It is now recognised as Sydney's Second CBD with many companies and state government departments having their headquarters exclusively in the rapidly consolidating city. In the 21st Century, Parramatta again serves the whole of Sydney as an economic powerhouse constituting a large percentage of Sydney's economic output and workforce.
Parramatta has elegant parks, the world class Riverside Theatres, and other attractions that make it a must-see destination within Greater Sydney. The ferry trip under the Harbour Bridge and up the Parramatta River makes the trip to Parramatta worthwhile simply for the journey itself.
There are many more attractions for the visitor to discover, and Parramatta is indeed one of Australia's best kept tourism secrets.
