Sydney - Australia

Do you know the facts : 

 1. The Eora are an Aboriginal Australian people of New South Wales. The Eora people, the Aborigines who settled around Sydney Harbour, arrived approximately 50,000 years ago, while the earliest white settlers arrived in 1788. Free settlers soon followed in the wake of the First Fleet of transported convicts, and after them several waves of migrants seeking a new life. 

 2. Opera house is the city's most popular tourist spot. 

 3. Governor Arthur Phillip was an English Royal Navy officer and the first Governor of New South Wales who led the British settlement and colonisation of Australia. He established a British penal colony that later became the city of Sydney, Australia. 

 4. Why the area under Harbour Bridge is called The Rocks? The place you won't want to miss when visiting Sydney, Australia is The Rocks. This is Sydney's oldest historical area, located directly under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, in the centre of the city… and well worth a visit on your Australia vacation. 

 5. Bondi beach had a Black Sunday On 6 February 1938, three large waves rolled into Bondi Beach in quick succession. As they receded, hundreds of swimmers were swept out to sea in the backwash. By good fortune, almost 80 members of the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club were gathered on the beach in readiness for a competition. Suddenly they were faced with the real thing. Between them, they rescued more than 250 swimmers, which was a remarkable achievement. Unfortunately and despite their best efforts, five swimmers drowned. To this day the tragedy is remembered as Black Sunday.
