Sydney
Sydney is the capital of New South Wales, Australia. It is the largest and most populous Australia city and is a natural harbour. Sydney is a popular tourist destination and is renowned for its quality of life [1] There is mostly friendly rivalry among the capital cities of Australia, with the competition between residents of Sydney and Melbourne being notorious; Melbournites tend to think of themselves and their city as "classier".
The formal term for a resident of Sydney is still given as Sydneyite in many dictionaries, but Sydneysider is the media term and so enjoys widespread usage. The use of Sydneyite seems to be a function of age, education and socio-economic class, with older, better-educated persons using Sydneyite in formal speech and writing.
