I was born and raised in Sydney so no one should be surprised that i love this city. But my love is not just based on my origins there. In my profession i have travelled to many cities around the world and i can say with confidence that Sydney is one of the best cities to live in.
If yo have not visited Sydney then you should make it your destination for your next holidays.

Business: A$6billion project won by Lend Lease
Dec 20th
Sydney Construction
Lend Lease Group, Australia’s largest developer, beat Brookfield Multiplex to win the right to build the 430,000 square meter (4.6 million square foot) Barangaroo development, just west of Sydney’s city center.
The A$6 billion ($5.3 billion) project, adjacent to the Millers Point and Walsh Bay heritage sites, will create more than 3,000 jobs during construction and 20,000 afterwards, New South Wales Premier Kristina Keneally said in a statement.
“This Barangaroo design will cement Sydney as an innovative and global city as well as the financial hub of the Asia Pacific,” Keneally said.
The winning bidder is likely to pay more than A$500 million for the land alone, the Australian Financial Review said in September 2008. Rating companies Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s said last week they may downgrade Lend Lease to junk on concerns about the company’s debt levels.

Victory striker Archie Thompson hit the bar in the second minute and put four other good chances either wide or within reach of Sydney goalkeeper Clint Bolton.
“The shots were 21 shots to six, but we weren’t accurate – it wasn’t good-quality shooting,” Melbourne coach Ernie Merrick said. More >
