Australia—the world's largest island and smallest continent—is home to Sydney, often ranked alongside San Francisco and Rio de Janeiro as one of the world's three most beautiful harbor cities. Its winding coastline blends seamlessly with towering buildings to create a breathtaking skyline, while the iconic curves of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge—familiar to people around the world through photographs—make this port city truly stunning. When British Captain James Cook first anchored at Circular Quay in 1770, Australia was not yet a place of global attention. However, after Britain lost its major American colonies following the U.S. declaration of independence, it began turning its focus toward Australia. In 1788, around 1,500 immigrants—including 736 convicts—arrived at what is now Sydney Harbour, marking the beginning of this new frontier. Sydney began to prosper in the 1820s thanks to a growing wool industry, and the Gold Rush of the 1850s, along with international trade ships passing through Sydney Harbour, brought further economic prosperity to the city. In 2000, Sydney once again captured the world's attention as the host city of the Olympic Games marking the new millennium. ▣ A Peek Inside One day, Pang-i and Catherine are asked to find the key to a mysterious box discovered in a vineyard.
