Where most of the country live

Sydney is a very busy city, with what seems like most of the country's population living there. The cars never stop, therefore, neither does the noise, but that doesn't really matter because you don't go to Sydney to relax.
The shopping is great, as is the nightlife (and the day life come to think of it), there is so much to do and see, that the four days that we spent there was no where near enough time to even scratch the surface.
After going to the markets, going up the centrepoint tower, going to the zoo, seeing circular quay (the sydney harbour bridge and the opera house) and going to darling harbour, there was four days gone in a flash.
Sydney has the most to see out of any Australian city, though it was a bit too busy for my liking. I would have loved to slow down, but it's impossile in a place like Sydney.
It's the partygoers dream city.

Pros and Cons
