From ancient Aboriginal homelands to a world-famous harbour city, Sydney has a story like no other. In this episode, we explore how the land of the Gadigal people became a British penal colony, grew into a booming multicultural metropolis, and emerged as one of the most iconic cities on Earth. From convicts to the Opera House, it’s a journey through resilience, reinvention, and remarkable transformation.
