Sydney Central Business District, also known as Sydney CBD or The City, is the main commercial centre of Sydney, New South Wales. It extends southwards from Sydney Cove over a distance of 3 kilometers. An imaginary line from Circular Quay in the north to the Central Railway Station to the south forms a north-south axis to the central business district. On the eastern side of the central business district is a string of parkland including Hyde Park, The Domain, Royal Botanic Gardens and Farm Cove. On the west is Darling Harbour, and may loosely include Pyrmont to the west and Woolloomooloo to the east.

At the heart of the Sydney CBD is a dense concentration of skyscrapers. George Street is the main street running north-south through the district. Together with the other streets within the central business district, it is one of the oldest city street, not only in Sydney, but in the whole Australia.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
