Destination Sydney
Sydney, Australia’s gateway city and the capital
of New South Wales is built around one of the largest, most beautiful
harbours in the world and along miles of golden surfing beaches which
stretch north and south of the city on the shore of the Pacific Ocean.
The beaches and harbour play a major role in the leisure and sporting
lives of Sydneysiders – yachting, surfing, sailboarding, swimming,
boating, fishing and waterskiing are all popular activities.
Many national parks and protected areas of natural bushland surround
the city and the beautiful Blue Mountains are a short journey to the
west.
Perhaps the most famous of Sydney’s landmarks is the spectacular
Sydney Opera House with its graceful ‘sails’. The Opera
House has become Sydney’s cultural centre, offering opera, ballet,
drama and film. The historic ‘Rocks’ area, site of the
original white settlement, is nearby, and this part of the harbour
foreshore is a hub of activity for both local residents and visitors.
Sydney is a vigorous, cosmopolitan city, a major industrial, business
and commercial centre and is endlessly fascinating in its variety and
beauty.
The Venue
The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour (the
Centre), is the largest and most technologically advanced facility
in Australia. It has been purposely built to host a spectrum of conferences,
international congresses, exhibitions, gala events, product launches
and small meetings.
Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre is unique because of its ideal
location within the Darling Harbour convention area. It is only five
minutes from Sydney’s city centre and within walking distance
of restaurants, shops, and a range of accommodation and entertainment
facilities.
