<p align="justify">It's been said that Melbourne has the culture while Sydney has the flash. Although Sydney-siders might argue with that assessment, the attraction of Australia's metropolis has much to do with its incomparable physical setting, and a cosmopolitan cachet that shows itself in the plethora of smart stores and restaurants and some of the world's sexiest beaches.</p>
<p align="justify">But Sydney has also preserved its history. A great way to experience it is by heading to <b>The Rocks</b> (<a href="http://www.therocks.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">www.therocks.com</font></a>), a heritage district that sits at the end of George Street and is only a few blocks from Sydney's downtown. A dramatic hillside characterized by outcrops of sandstone, it was here, more than 200 years ago, that the British under naval captain Arthur Philip first established a white man's settlement/penal colony that gave birth to the modern nation of Australia.</p>
<p align="justify">Overlooking magnificent <b>Sydney Cove</b>, The Rocks was once a rough-and-tumble neighborhood populated by prostitutes, thieves and rowdy sailors' bars. Today, the area has been transformed into a showcase for dozens of restored 19th-century buildings as well as restaurants, galleries and a lively weekend market. Savor <b>Cadman's Cottage</b>, Sydney's oldest dwelling, which was built in the early 1800s, and marvel at the famous <b>Argyle Cut</b>, a tunnel constructed through solid rock by convict laborers using hammers and chisels.</p>
<p align="justify">For a different take on this multi-faceted city, go to <b>Darling Harbour</b> (<a href="http://www.darlingharbour.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">www.darlingharbour.com</font></a>), which spreads in a semi-circle around Cockle Bay. It's a glittering complex of buildings that includes the Sydney Aquarium, the National Maritime Museum, a massive convention and entertainment center, and the 32,500-square-foot Chinese Gardens, which Australians boast is the only authentic Cantonese-style garden of its size outside China.</p>
<p align="justify">Sydney prides itself on its profusion of parks, and there are few lovelier anywhere than the <b>Royal Botanic Gardens</b> (<a href="http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au</font></a>), laid out on the shores of the harbor and located only minutes from the Central Business District. Created in 1816, the 74-acre gardens contain the site of the earliest cultivated land on the Australian continent.</p>
<p align="justify">Divided into three sections and punctuated by tranquil ponds and extensive lawns, the gardens are noted for their huge variety of palms like the Bungalow variety with its feather-shaped fronds as well as a superb rose garden and Herbarium.</p>
<p align="justify">Strolling along the footpaths, you'll no doubt encounter some of the dozens of species of exotic birds like the brightly-tinted Rosella, White Ibis and Laughing Kookaburra. And in this lush setting, you'll begin to get an idea of what makes Sydney such a knockout.</p>
