There are over twenty excellent beaches close to Sydney and its warm summer climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants from overseas. There are three things that makes Sydney famous: its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, which was built in 1932 and the Sydney Opera House, which was opened in 1973.
