More History of Sydney

Around 1880, new buildings sprouted around Sydney such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Sydney General Post Office, The Town Hall of Sydney and the special Queen Victoria Building. Residential areas grew around the city with each man wanting his own patch of land with his wee cabin.

At the start of the 20th century, Sydney became the State Capital of New South Wales. Major commercial networks were transforming the city, such as the opening of the Central Rail Station, and electricity transformed the city from the old style gas light system. Women were allowed to vote and the city became very progressive until all was to be halted due to the first World War.

Thousands of Australians signed up and travelled to Europe to help the Allies defeat the Germans. After the Great War the 1930s were a depressed time in Australia, with many jobless. But a big boost to the character of the city was the construction of the Sydney Harbour bridge in 1932.
