Sydney's Geographical Situation

In this post, I will talk about the location terrain, climate and more in Sydney.




The Location and Terrain of Sydney
Sydney is located in New South Wales, a state in the south-east of Australia. It is spread across two major regions: the Hornsby Plateau which is north of Sydney Harbour and is over 200 metres over sea level and the Cumberland Plain which is a flat area south of the harbour. The city started developing in the flatter areas and gradually expanded to the higher areas. The two regions are connected by the Sydney Harbour Bridge which opened in 1932.




Climate
Sydney, like most of south-east Australia, has a temperate climate. Temperatures in winter (June, July, August) average at around 9 degrees centigrade. In summer (December, January, February) temperatures average between 19 degrees and 25 degrees. People in Sydney experience warm summers and mild winters and the temperature and rainfall is less extreme than in other regions of Australia such as Queensland which is mostly a tropical climate.
