Founded in 1788, its recent history begins when British pioneers found a penal colony here. And as events unfolded, from a penal colony based on aboriginal lands, people who have occupied the country for 60,000 years, it became the largest city in Oceania. It offers a synthesis of what Australia has in store for its visitors.
