The Sydney Opera House is situated at Bennelong Point, named after Bennelong, an Aboriginal. Originally captured on Governor Phillips orders, to help the First Fleet Colonials learn the language and customs of the locals. See more on The Rocks, Circular Quay and The Sydney Opera House.
Bennelong later had a house built for him on the site where the Opera House now stands. Later a fort was built on the site, to protect Sydney from possible incursions from the Russians, French or whoever else might threaten the colony.
Entertainment
Much more than Opera takes place at the Sydney Opera House. There is an ever-changing selection of Dance Performances, Cultural Entertainment, Symphony Orchestras, Theatre, movies and modern music the year round. Sydney Events.
Sydney on the Harbour
The area surrounding Sydney Cove, from where the settlement later adopted its name, dropping the name Cove, is where much of early Australian History happened. Now named Circular Quay, it is a major terminus for Sydney trains, buses, ferries and taxis.
See the harbour west: Take the Parramatta Rivercat to Parramatta. There are interesting stopoffs along the way including the Sydney Olympic Park at Homebush.
