Where in Australia does Sydney belong?

Sydney is located on the southeast coast of Australia, east longitude 15 1, south latitude 33( 15 1, south latitude 33). It is the capital of New South Wales, Australia, and the most densely populated city in the country, with a population of over 4.2 million in the capital circle (in 2006). One third of downtown Sydney is located on the south bank of the upstream cove. Sydney is located in the coastal basin between the eastern Pacific Ocean and the western Blue Mountains. Sydney has Jackson Harbor, the largest natural harbor in the world, and more than 70 seaports and beaches, including the famous Band-Aid Beach. The urban area of Sydney is 65,438+0,687 square kilometers (6,565,438+0 square miles), which is similar to that of Greater London. Sydney Metropolitan Area (statistically Sydney) covers an area of 12, 145 square kilometers (4,689 square miles), and the effective area is national parks and other undeveloped land.

Sydney occupies two geographical areas-Cumberland Plain and Hornsby Plateau. Cumberland Canyon is a relatively flat and somewhat undulating area, located in the west and south of Port Jackson. Cosby Plateau is a plateau in the north of the harbor, 200 meters (656 feet) above sea level, cut by a grassy valley. The oldest area in Sydney is located in a flat area. Kangshibi Plateau, known as the North Shore, has been a backwater for a long time because of its steep terrain and slow development. It was not until 1932 that the Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened that the plateau was connected with the city, and it developed rapidly thereafter.
