A 360 image of Darling Harbour. Sydney is the largest city in Australia with a population around 4.3 million. Sydney was established in 1788, is located on Australia's east coast and is the capital of the state of New South Wales. Darling Harbour is a locality of the city centre of Sydney on the western outskirts of the Sydney business district. Until the arrival of Europeans, the Cadigal people, the original inhabitants of the area around Sydney Cove, called Darling Harbour "Tumbalong", meaning place where seafood is found. When Sydney was founded the bay was called Long Cove because of its unusual length. The large shell middens left by generations of Cadigal people in the area soon saw the name Cockle Bay come into everyday use. It was developed in the 1980s from a previous dockland region. Today, there are plenty of shops within the wonderful harbour-side shopping complex, with restaurants lining the beautiful waters edge - an ideal place to laze the day away.
