Since then this society has expanded its amazing infrastructure, culture, democracy, independence and diversity many times over into today's prospering and amazing good living society and city well known for each beaches, Opera and Sydney Harbour bridge:
Last year Australia conducted its 16th census (which includes both Marianne and my self :-) and there are some very interesting reading:
Only 60% of Sydneysiders are born in Australia (Nationwide it is 70%)
3.5% are born in England
3.4% are born in China - thus the Chinese are the third biggest immigrants to Sydney as opposed to New Zealand if you view it Nation wide.
Only 60% of Sydneysiders speaks English at home (Nationwide it is 77%)
4.1 % speaks Arabic
3% speaks only Mandarin at home (nationwide the third group is Italian)
I have many times over made comments about the low number of churches in Sydney - and here comes the evidences which actually indicates that there are more Christians in Sydney than nationwide in Australia, but still, viewed as a western society, number of Christians are low:
28.3% are Catholics
16.1% are Anglican
17.6% has NO religion, but this is actually lower than nationwide which is 22.3%
