| Description/Notes | Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Sydney, the oldest town in Australia, is the capital of New South Wales and its chief seaport. With a population of 1,100,000 it compares in size with Cleveland. Sydney covers a large area. Its streets wind about like those of Boston, and it is facetiously said that the place was originally laid out by a bullock driver with a boomerang. Its magnificent harbor and the enterprise of its people have made Sydney the New York of Australia. The city does business with all the world. It is the terminus of a dozen great steamship lines connecting the continent with Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America. Besides being linked up with all the great ports of the world, Sydney is a center of trade along the coast and with the countless islands of the South Seas." |
