I live west of Penrith and think that this thing called Sydney is actually a myth made up by parents to frighten naughty children.
There are plenty of stereotypes about Australia. We all live in the desert, we have pet koalas and ride kangaroos to work, and supposedly everything we eat has Vegemite on it, but the other stereotype is that we all come from Sydney.
Why does it have to be that we are all from Sydney? Do we need to live with a clunky old bridge in our backyard or an opera house that lights up once a year just to keep people interested in it? Why not one of the other beautiful cities in Australia?
Katoomba? I hear the banjos play real sweet at dusk ....
Further over the mountains
Out the back of Bourke?
Orange area, but I lived in Sydney for 40 years and when I left it was a relief because the urban density was becoming annoying.

Yesterday Mr Hockey told reporters Sydney real estate was affordable because people kept buying it.
And his advice to first home buyers was: “The starting point for a first homebuyer us to get a good job that pays good money.
“If you’ve got a good job that pays good money and you have security in relation to that job then you can go to the bank and you can borrow money.
“That’s readily affordable, more affordable than ever. (It’s more affordable to) borrow money for a first home now than it’s ever been.”
So what has your post got to do with Tony Abbott?

Louise Abbott works in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and appears to have benefited from a Canberra housing market wilting after widespread public service job cuts.
The ABC is in full Gillian Triggs the Martyr mode this morning. A Fran Kelly interview, then Michelle Grattan, then Shadow Attorney-Gen Mark Dreyfus.
The beastly government should stop picking on poor brave Gillian, who seems to have found her voice of late.
More balanced reporting at taxpayers expense.

We have our government looking to give Peter Dutton the right to revoke citizenship of duel nationals all at his discretion without any without any legal recourse. This is the same Peter Dutton that who claimed that Senator Hanson-Young wasn't spied on but evidence has since come out to the contrary and rather than correct the record and issue an apology Peter Dutton has continued his character assassination of Senator Hanson-Young. This man isn't fit be a doorman never mind being responsible for the citizenship of Australians.
Dutton is just another of the hate cult that is the modern LNP. They hate anything that is not part of their exclusive brethren. I used to be proud of a country that was run by politicians who could put in the good fight during sittings and have a friendly beer or meal after. Not anymore, the latest crews are silent gen offspring who actually believe the other side is evil.
What was it like under communist rule in Vietnam?
I don't know what you are driving at, but I'm merely lamenting the loss of Australian custom.
