  The author describes the city of Sydney, explaining in historical terms - from its colonial beginnings - how it has come to be the way it is, right up to preparations for the 2000 Olympic Games. He analyzes the people, business, architecture and politics, the sporting traditions and cultural aspirations, the city's aboriginal community, wealth of prehistoric art, its function as a seaport and its cherished rivalry with Melbourne.
