With its glittering harbor, iconic Opera House, beaches and parks, Sydney attracts
business and leisure travelers all year round. As the capital of thriving New South
Wales, Sydney is the core of Australia's economy. It is also home to the
Australian Stock Exchange, one of the first in the world to open each day. New South
Wales' most profitable sectors include finance, business services, real estate
and insurance. The region's chief exports are mineral products (such as coal)
and wine.
