Sydney: Paddington
Paddington combines a dense urban high street with rows of Victorian terraces in a way that reflects its position on a sandstone ridge in Sydney’s inner east. Oxford Street is the suburb’s main commercial spine, running toward Bondi Junction and lined with independent fashion, design and food businesses alongside everyday services. Many of Paddington’s narrow 19th-century terrace houses retain cast-iron balconies and establish the district’s distinctive streetscape. Sydney Harbour lies north of the ridge, while the former Paddington Reservoir has been transformed into Paddington Reservoir Gardens. On Saturdays, Paddington Markets at the Uniting Church grounds bring designers, makers and food stalls to Oxford Street.

Sydney combines a working harbour with a cosmopolitan waterfront in a way that reflects its coastal position on the shores of Port Jackson. The harbour’s deep inlets shape daily life, linking the central city with neighbourhoods on both the northern and southern shores. The Sydney Opera House, opened in 1973, and the steel-arch Sydney Harbour Bridge, opened in 1932, form the city’s defining harbour ensemble. On the northern foreshore, Milsons Point sits beside Luna Park and faces Circular Quay across the water. Explore further points of interest through webcams located across Sydney and New South Wales.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.
