 History of Sydney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rivalry culminated as Australia moved to become a federation and both Melbourne and Sydney lobbied to be officially recognised as the capital city (a dispute settled with the creation of a new city, Canberra, instead).
With industrialisation Sydney expanded rapidly, and by the early 20th century it had a population well in excess of one million.
Throughout the 20th century Sydney continued to expand with various new waves of European and (later) Asian immigration, resulting in its highly cosmopolitan atmosphere of the present day.

Baron inspires you to step out of your comfort zone and assist you to levels you never thought you would be.

 Sydney Owenson, Lady Morgan, biography
Sydney's date of birth is conventionally noted as December 25, 1776 on the passage across the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin, but her actual date of birth is unknown due to her lifelong refusal to disclose it.
Sydney's nationalistic novels - O'Donnel (1814), Florence Macarthy (1818), and The O'Briens and the O'Flahertys (1827) in addition to The Wild Irish Girl, were wildly popular in England despite their controversial themes of Irish Independence and Catholic Emancipation, views which left the Morgans under permanent surveillance by the British secret police.
Sydney's continued literary popularity was such that in 1837 she became the first woman writer to ever receive a literary pension from the British government for her 'services to literature and to patriotism.' For a complete listing of Sydney Owenson's works, click here.
