Hi there
When I holidayed with my mum in Sydney, Australia, in the early 1960s, we went on a bus tour around the city. I was absolutely agog when the courier told everyone that the population of Sydney was well over a million. At the time, the population of the whole of New Zealand was just over 2 million. How could so many people fit into Sydney? A population of a million in one city was just too populous a number for me to understand.
Nowadays, the population of Sydney is five million, and the population of New Zealand is just over 4 million. When I go to Sydney for a musical show, I'm jammed in with people everywhere throughout the city. It's mainly tourists of which I am one. I guess Sydney shouldn't be such a desirable place to visit.
