Sydney, state capital of NSW, is with a population of approximately 4.4 million the largest city in Australia.

The history of the Sydney region goes actually back in time for at least 30.000 years. The first indigenous Australians who lived there centuries ago in Sydney cove are the Cadigal people. These aboriginal

Australians as Cadigal people are also called where living from the south or Port Jackson to Petersham region.
