How do those down under use the internet ??

Sydney, Australia - it seems so far away, but with the click of the button on your computer you could be there before you know it.

Because it is such a long flight to Australia, the country must provide us with reasons to make such a trip. Sydney, along with other major cities around the world, has taken to the Internet to try to entice us to visit.
Just visit the official Sydney website you there you can find a million and one reason to visit.
They use there website to list of their top attractions, restaurants, accommodations, upcoming events and maps for different areas.
The tabs include:
*Destinations
        additional links to different areas in the area.
* Things to Do
         Arts and Culture
         Food and Wine
         Nature and Parks
         Fashion & Shopping
         Beach Life
         Family Holidays
* Accommodations
* Events
* Special Deals
The site even directs you to download their latest ipad and iphone app. They provide a newsletter that you can sign up for and even have a link to the Sydney Facebook site.
Their facebook site displays photos, videos and status updates about what is happening around town. The city also has a twitter account and a youtube page.
The cite caters to all cultures as they have many different versions of the site. This includes UK, Singapore, Middle East, Japan, Italy, India and  France. When you click on a particular country site, all of the information is translated into their language. The site also has active links linking to the tourism Australia page, destination NSW and the NSW government homepage.
A very interesting aspect I found on the page is the "link to us " tab. The site provides way for you to easily share someting you see on the site with your facebook page or twitter account. You can also link a banner on your own website to information you find interesting.
Over the past few years the amount of American students studying and traveling in Australia has grown. The website also focuses on those looking to study abroad or visit the country by posting helpful links and different ideas on how to get around. They also have helpful information for those looking to get a job in Sydney.
The website is the cities way to show themselves off. Its a way to reach those who normally would not have access to a place so far away.
They may be across the globe but with the use of the Internet, Sydney has brought their city right into my living room.
