Sydney was founded in 1788 by Captain Arthur Phillip and the First Fleet, the aim was not to build a great city but to establish a prison settlement for British convicts. The eastern 'official' side of the original settlement still contains the government buildings that denote power and control. The western side of the town was altogether more unruly. Today, the crooked streets of The Rocks, which mark the early settlement’s western extremity, evoke a different kind of society. Sailors who'd spent months at sea, then caroused in the numerous small public houses, some of which still serve drinkers today. Today Sydney Harbour proudly glistens, enhanced by the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and many world-standard restaurants, making it an enviable destination world-wide.
