As many as 30.000 years
ago the Australian Aborigines lived in Australia as well as Sydney.
Captain Cook arrived in 1770 and the first settlers in form of
convicts came from England. The late 17th until mid 18th century Sydney
slowly was built to a major town. Immigrants came from all over the world
and today over 4 million people live in the greater Sydney area, |

As Australia is an
immigrant country you find all major cuisines from around the globe.
Australian's like their barbeque and fry or burn anything you can imagine.
Portions are big so you won't leave hungry. Due to it's location, seafood is
among the best you can get. The portions are big, but don't always look
delicious.
Gnocchi with lobster, big .. but not refined. |

The French, German and
Italian immigrants introduced the wine culture in Australia. They are truly
proud of their "new world wines" which in some cases can compete with the
best even in the old world. Visit the Hunters valley is a must for a true
wine lover. There are a range of beers. From lager and pilsner to
English inspired brews as stout, ale and bitter. |
