Welcome to WikiProject Sydney! This WikiProject aims primarily to create, fill out, build, edit, construct, and modify articles about Sydney. Sydney is the oldest city in New South Wales and Australia and has many places of interest, significant events and interesting people that have helped form the unique character and style of the city. If you would like to join this project, we would love your help, so please add your name to the list below, and look at the to-do list for some suggestions on articles that you may be able to help with. You may also inquire on the talk page, or visit the Australian Wikipedians' noticeboard for collaboration on Australian articles in general.
