SYDNEY An Aerial Close-Up Of all the world's major cities, few can boast as beautiful a setting as that of Sydney. Clustered arourid its incomparable Harbour, the capital city of New South Wales and first city of the nation has, since its relatively recent beginnings, grown into a cosmopolitan metropolis whose brash, modern face reflects the confidence of her citizens. And unlike the people of many other cities, Sydneysiders are not blind to the beauty of their home town setting: they are familiar with the golden beaches, the sheltered coves and glorious bays that abound, and they use their recreational facilities to the full. Obvious though the attractions of the city may be at ground level, it is only when they are experienced from the air that they can be fully appreciated. The sweep of the Warringah Expressway and the Harbour Bridge, the dazzling sails of the neighbouring Opera House, and everywhere the deep blue of the water take on a unity and beauty beside which all other cities pale when seen from above. Sydney, an Aerial Close-up, with its lively text and superb pictures, captures the beauty which makes Sydney what it is today.
