Sydney offers plenty of historical and contemporary Australian flavor. The marvelous Sydney Opera House looks like a great origami sailboat, floating peacefully in a harbor. Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of The Rocks and then take in a street performance on the Circular Quay before heading into the Museum of Contemporary Art. The views from the Sydney Tower Eye observatory are epic – use this chance to get to know the layout of the city from high above.

"First Impressions" is quite an interesting and unusual relief sculpture, located in the middle of the Rocks area of Sydney. It was commissioned by the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority in 1979, and it is a part of the early history of the city and of Australia. It is a three sided relief sculpture which has carved into its sides the figures of a convict, a soldier and a family of settlers. It symbolises the origins of Australia as a convict colony by Britain and its development into a free settlement. It is probably more of an attraction for tourists, both local and foreign. Worth a stop and a good photo opportunity.
