SYDNEY | INTRODUCTION

THE BEAUTIFUL HARBOUR

Sydney is Australia’s largest city, a cosmopolitan world city of 180 nation-alities, and the financial heartbeat of Australia. Indeed, the city contrib-utes about a quarter of Australia’s GDP. As well as being a leading centre for culture, the arts, music, fashion, film, and entertainment, Sydney has also hosted significant sporting events, including the Olympic Games and the Rugby World Cup.

Sydney was founded when Arthur Philip (commodore of the First Fleet), with instructions from George III to develop a new colony, landed at Sydney Cove in HMS Supply on 26 January 1788 (now Australia Day). He named the new settlement after Lord Sydney (a British Home Sec-retary of the time). This was eighteen years after Captain James Cook had surveyed the harbour during his voyage in Endeavour. The first peo-ple of the region, the Australian Aboriginals, or ‘Eora’ (central Sydney is still referred to as ‘Eora Country’), have a history in the region going back many thousands of years. They were subjected to terra nullius, dispossession, disease and relative decline. Today, however, the Aborigi-nal culture not only survives but is an important thread in the culture of Sydney and Australia. Industrial development and the gold rushes of the 1850s (which spurred rivalry with Melbourne), firmly established the city around Port Jackson, or Sydney Harbour. Indeed, the city’s or-ganic relationship with this stretch of water, with its numerous idyllic bays and beaches, is as important today as when Mark Twain wrote of the harbour in 1897: “It would be beautiful without Sydney, but not above half as beautiful as it is now, with Sydney added.”

SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

The striking, modernist Opera House is Sydney’s most famous landmark. Designed by award- winning Danish architect Jørn

Utzon, it is home to the Australian Ballet, the Sydney Symphony,

Opera Australia, and the Sydney Theatre Company, and hosts around 1,500 performances

a year. Its design and construction proved to be an odyssey: build-ing began in 1959 and was only

completed in 1973, by which time Utzon had resigned after disagree-ments with bureaucrats (although he later reconciled with the work).

The building is progressive in several ways – for its complex geometry, the use of computer

aided analysis, and its innovative air conditioning system that

uses harbour water.

SYDNEY IS A WORLD CITY OF 180 NAT IONALIT IES

of the Maritime Services Board. Its popular ‘Primavera’ exhibition focuses on young artistic talent.

The gallery’s building was originally de-signed by Walter Vernon and built at the close of the 19th century, and it also has a modern extension.

Close by, in the area south of the Opera House, is another great destination: the Royal Botanic Gardens (Mrs Macquaries Road. Tel: 9231 8111) Founded by Gover-nor Macquarie in 1816, these huge, lush gardens include a pyramid-shaped glass house.

MELBOURNE IS SEEN AS THE CULTURAL CAPITAL

OF AUSTRAL IA

MELBOURNE | INTRODUCTION

MARVELLOUS MELBOURNE

The British established a short-lived colony at Sullivan Bay in 1803, but it was only in 1835 that John Batman journeyed from Tasmania to negotiate with Aborigine elders for land on the north bank of the Yarra River. Here, the original settlement was built and expanded. It was soon named Melbourne, after British Prime Minister William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, and officially declared a city in 1847. In 1851, the Port Philip District (then part of New South Wales), became the separate state of Victoria, with Melbourne as its capital.

During this time, and through the subsequent years, Melbourne’s Aborigine population sadly declined, through the effects of disease. The city expanded, however, with large influxes of migrant workers, including from China (Melbourne has Australia’s oldest Chinatown). Numerous architectural works are testament to the gold rush era; George Augustus Sala, a journalist of that time, described the city as ‘Marvellous Melbourne’. A downturn followed in the late 19th century, but the city returned to growth. Melbourne was the seat of Australia’s government in the early 20th century, and became an important manufacturing centre. With a strong economy, it is also seen as the ‘cultural capital of Australia’ (it was declared a UNESCO City of Literature in 2003), and is consist-ently ranked as one of the most liveable cities in the world.

GOLD RUSH ARCHITECTURE

Melbourne’s days as a thrusting gold rush town are reflected in

the architecture of this illustrious Victorian city. This spirit can be seen in the Shrine of Remem-brance in South Yarra, and the

State Library of Victoria of 1856, at Swanston Street, including the magnificent La Trobe Reading

Room, added in 1913. Other examples include Melbourne

Town Hall (Collins and Swanston streets), built in 1870, which has hosted both Queen Elizabeth II and the Beatles, and the Capitol Theatre (113 Swanston Street). Here, the crystalline ceiling and

light show are unmissable.

MELBOURNE | GUIDE

Lane and Block Arcade. Nicholas Building (37 Swanston Street) and the art nouveau Curtin House (252 Swanston Street) are both also well worth a visit. Curtin House has a rooftop cinema and the Toff in Town music and performance ven-ue. Little Bourke Street (between Spring Street and Swanston Street) is Chinatown, much of which dates back to the 19th century.

For bookshops, Metropolis (Level 3, Curtin House; Tel: 9663 2015), and Readings (309 Lygon Street, Carlton; Tel: 9347 6633) are excel-lent choices.

NIGHTLIFEGertrude St Enoteca 229 Gertrude Street, Fitroy. Tel: 9415 8262One of the best wine bars inMel-bourne, with the wine list favouring European grapes. The food here is exciting and inventive, including ter-rines, housemade tarts, and a great

EATINGCutler & Co 55-57 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. Tel: 9419 4888For ‘Mod Oz’ food (modern Aus-tralian food with Asian flavours), fabled Melburnian chef Andrew McDonnell’s new establishment in Fitzroy is a must, in its crisp, architectural surroundings. McDon-nell also has other eateries in the city: Three One Two in Carlton, and Cumulus Inc on Flinders Lane.

Taxi Level 1, Transport Hotel, Federation Square. Tel: 9654 8808Michael Lambie, another local legend, runs this eatery, famous for quality modern Australian cuisine served in a huge glass and steel dining area overlooking the river and Flinders Street Station.

Longrain 40-44 Little Bourke St, cor-ner of Punch Lane. Tel: 9671 3151This is the sister of the original Longrain in Sydney, with its large,

shared tables and fine Thai cuisine, including delicious betel leaves with smoked trout.

Momo 123 Collins Street. Tel: 9650 0660For Middle Eastern and Mediter-ranean food, served in lush and beautiful surroundings, this ac-claimed, award-winning restaurant is unbeatable.

SHOPPINGCentral Melbourne has a full reti-nue of department stores, such as Myers and David Jones on Bourke Street Mall. Part of Collins Street, particularly up from Swanston Street, is home to luxury brands and high fashion, such as the impeccable Le Louvre (74 Collins Street; Tel: 9654 7641). Meanwhile, the numerous laneways are full of interesting bars, galleries, eateries, boutiques and specialist shops, including Flinders Lane, Hosier Im

range of cheeses. The bar is also renowned for its fresh cakes.

Retreat 280 Sydney Street, Brunswick. Tel: 9380 4090If friendly pubs and live music are more your thing, this large estab-lishment caters for wide musical tastes – from blues on weekdays to dance music on weekends.

George Lane Bar 1 George Lane (off Grey Street), St Kilda. Tel: 9593 8884This bar is a homely affair that foregoes precise, cool cut design aesthetics: a relief to some.

Prince of Wales Bandroom 29 Fitzroy St, St. Kilda. Tel: 9536 1168A local institution in the heart of bohemian St Kilda, this venue is fa-mous for live music, including such international acts as Lenny Kravitz, Scissor Sisters, and Coldplay.

ARTS There is no way to escape the arts in Melbourne (and who would want to!) because the scene is woven into the very texture of the city. Art flourishes in the CBD, St Kilda, Fitzroy, and right across the city.

Muma Monash University Museum of Modern Art, Ground Floor, Build-ing 55, Monash University, Welling-ton Road, Clayton. Tel: 9905 4217A half-hour journey from the city but worth the trek if you want to see contemporary Australian art, in well regarded and expertly curated exhibitions.

Australian Centre for the Moving Image Federation Square. Tel: 9663 2583ACMI offers a full programme of events, talks, and festivals, across a diverse range of cinematic genres and related subjects, and is always engaging and full of interest.

Malthouse Theatre 113 Sturt Street. Tel: 9685 5111This theatre often tours across Australia, and internationally, promoting numerous contemporary Australian works. The impressive building (dating back to 1892 and originally a brewery), now houses three theatres, rehearsal studios, and a bar and café. The centre is a thriving hub for the arts community, including the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne International Arts Festival, Victorian Opera, and many more.

Koori Heritage Trust Cultural Centre Walkin’ Birrarung TourThis highly recommended two-hour tour of the heritage of the Yarra River details the important and rich culture of the Aboriginal people, as well as profound changes Melbourne has brought to the area over many years.

ASK THE CONCIERGE

Our concierge in Sydney provides insider tips on the numerous and diverse attractions of Australia’s largest city.

BEST RESTAURANTS Sydney is known for its celebrity chefs, gourmet food, and award-winning restaurants. We recom-mend Aria by Matt Moran and Quay for their spectacular views of Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. For meat lovers, Neil Perry’s Rockpool Bar & Grill is simple and uncomplicated, featuring wood fire grilled meats and seafood. For something truly Australian, Wolfies at Campbell Cove (Sydney Harbour) offers kangaroo and crocodile meat.

SPAS AND SALONS The Day Spa (at The Rocks) is renowned for massages, beauty treatments, and its starlit indoor swimming pool. Meanwhile, the Alysium Spa also offers an excel-lent range of rejuvenating mas-sages and body treatments, using luxury Payot products.

NIGHTLIFEMake sure you visit Darling Harbour which has more than 30 bars, live music and DJs. Check out Cargo Bar or Bungalow 8 on King St Wharf. A visit to Sydney is not complete without seeing the famed Kings Cross area which now boasts some of the city’s most exciting nightspots including Piano Bar, The Sapphire Suite and Hugos.

SHOPPINGThe Queen Victoria Building is a must-see for its beautiful archi-tecture and world-class shopping. Also visit Pitt Street Mall and the Strand Arcade for Australian de-sign. On the weekends, The Rocks Markets are excellent for gifts and local products and a good way to spend an afternoon. Meanwhile, the Westfield Development, open-ing in late 2010, will make the CBD a premier shopping destination.

MUSEUMS AND GALLERIESThe Australian Museum provides wonderful insights into Australian history from early settlement days, and also explores the country’s unique flora and fauna. For science buffs, the PowerHouse Museum is excellent, covering everything from fashion to engineering.

GETTING AROUNDThe Rocks Walking Tour is highly

recommended, while the Hop On Hop Off Bus is also a great wayto travel around and see the sights – including Bondi Beach. For harbour cruises, Captain Cook Cruises provides great tours of the small bays and secluded inlets that make up Sydney Harbour. Also make the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb to take in spectacular views of the harbour.

HIDDEN GEMSMrs Macquarie’s Chair, at the out-ermost point of the Royal Botanic Gardens, was carved by convicts for Governor Macquarie’s wife. It is a great place to photograph the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Meanwhile, Susannah Place Museum is a surviving example of working class terrace, originally built in 1844. The mu-seum explores the lives of workers and families who laboured during Sydney’s early years.

SPAS AND SALONS Peninsula Hot Springs on the Mornington Peninsula, one and a half hours from Melbourne, offers hot springs, spa facilities, mineral pools, massages, and mud baths, in beautiful, natural surroundings. In the city, Papillon Day Spa, at Yarra’s Edge, is also worth a visit.
