	Sydney travel guide - Wikitravel
		Sydney [1] is the capital city of the south-eastern Australian state of New South Wales, situated on Port Jackson, more commonly known as "Sydney Harbour".
		Sydney is the oldest European settlement in Australia, having been founded as a British penal colony on 26 January 1788 (now celebrated as Australia Day, the national public holiday, with major festivities around the city and the Harbour).
		Sydney's large natural harbor, usually called Sydney Harbour (correctly Port Jackson), was the reason that the original penal settlement was established in the area now known as Circular Quay, rather than further south at Botany Bay as James Cook recommended after mapping the coast in 1770.

	Sydney Harbour Bridge - City of Sydney
		In the first half of the nineteenth century, Sydney was formed around Sydney Cove and later, as the population grew, it developed around the harbour and its tributaries to the north, west and south.
		Vehicular and passenger ferries continued to be an important form of public transport on Sydney Harbour for the remainder of the nineteenth century.
		Although Bradfield envisaged that the bridge would be an integral part of Sydney’s public transport system, with provision for trains and trams, the rise of the motorcar throughout the twentieth century meant that road transport across the harbour became increasingly dominant.
