Every time we go to a different country, the first place we land is on the city; that’s why government and investors primarily develop what is reachable to majority or to tourists. At this moment, we’re taking a walk to the centre of the largest city in Australia, which is Sydney.
(Matag higayon nga muadto ta’g laing nasud, ang unang dapit nga atong matamakan kay ang lungsod; maong ang gobyerno ug investor unang palambuon kung unsay duol maadtuan sa kadaghanan o turista. Sa karon, manlakaw ta sa sentro sa kinadak-ang syudad diri sa Australia, mao ang Sydney.)

This is the map where I’m taking you to: The central Business District in New South Wales.
(Mao ni ang mapa kung asa ta mangadto: Ang distrito sa sentro sa negosyo diri sa New South Wales)

Let’s take a walk to the Hyde Park.

(Tara, manlaag ta sa Hyde Park)

Cleanliness is a major responsibility of the government and its people especially where people mostly spend their leisure and relaxing time. Also, aesthetic and nature should not be compromised even in the city.

(Ang kalimpyo mao ang pinaka-responsibilidad sa gobyerno ug katawhan labi na kung asa kasagaran nagapamahudlay ang kadaghanan. Usa pa, ang kanindot ug kalikopan kay di gayud ikompromiso bisan pa sa lungsod.)

The centre of the city does not only have the modern-designed buildings. In fact, they preserve and still maintain the historic buildings or churches that have significance in the history, some of the buildings or churches are hundred years old but still standing up because most of it was made of stones. One of the examples of these is The Queen Victoria Building.
(Ang sentro sa lungsod dili lang puro bag-ong desinyo sa katukoran. Sa pagkatinuod, ilang gina-patunhay ug gina-alimahan ang mga makasaysayon nga mga katukoran o simbahan nga nay kamahinungdanon, ang ubang katukoran o simbahan kay gatusan nga ka tuig pero nagatindog gihapon kay gimugna kini sa bato. Pananglitan kining Queen Victoria Building.)

The Queen Victoria Building is a late nineteenth-century building designed by the architect George McRae and was opened last July 21, 1898.
(Ang Queen Victoria Building kay gimugna kadtong nauplog-siyam nga siglo ug gidisenyo ni Architect George McRae ug giablihan kadtong July 21, 1898)

When we're in Pitt Street, usually, we see different performances or people endorsing their unique talents to earn a living.
(Karung naa ta sa Pitt Street, kasagaran, naa tay makita nga lahi-lahing pasundayag o mga katawhan nga gina-iduso ang ilang mga talagsaong talent para mokita ug kwarta)

Here are some of the views you can see while walking on the street.

There is a big possibility that you’ll get lost for the first time when you don’t have a navigator with you. It feels like a maze when all you can see is massive buildings, and honestly, the first time I’ve been here, every building looks the same.
(Dako ang posibilidad nga masaag jud ka sa una kung wala kay dala nga navigator. Mura ug maze kay halos tanan nimong makita bisag asa kay dagkong mga katukoran, ug sa tinood lang, kadtong una nakong anhi diri, tanang katukoran pare-pareha.)

Almost every street, you can see some statues that has connotation to the country’s history.
(Halos bisag asang dalan, makakita ka ug mga estatwa nga nay kamahinungdanon sa kasaysayan sa nasod)

You can also see that there are homeless people around. There are probably 5-10 people in the city alone.
(Makakita pud ka ug mga tao sa dalan nga walay mapuy-an. Siguro mga lima hangtud napulo ka tao sa syudad palang na.)

0.5% of Australia’s population is homeless. That’s like 49 in every 10,000 people. One of the leading causes of homelessness in Australia is domestic violence; other reasons are poverty, poor relationships and drug, alcohol or mental health issues.
(0.5 porsyento sa populasyon sa Australia kay walay balay. Sa ato pa, 49 taga 10,000 ka tao. Usa sa mga hinungdan kay pagpanagmal sa panimalay, ang ubang rason kay kawad-on, dili mayo nga relasyon, droga, alcohol o problema sa pangisip.)

You can also see doves everywhere, mostly in the parks. The fascinating thing is they are protected by the law. I also abhor those killing of animals just for fun or selfish desires. (Good job, Australia!).
(Makakita pud ka’g mga kalapati bisag asa, kasagaran sa mga parke. Madanihon gayud nga ginapanilpdan sila sa balaod. Akong ginadumtan gayud ang pagpatay sa mga hayop kung kini para lang lingaw-lingaw o ubang hakog nga tinguha.)

These two people are Torres Strait Islander or has Aboriginal Heritage. YES, you can see aboriginals everywhere. Aboriginals are the original settlers in this continent or country. In fact, they are 6% of the population. They hold distinctive rights as Australia’s First Peoples which is set out in international law.
(Kining duha ka katawhan kay Torres Strait Islander o naay Aboriginal nga panulondon. O! Makakita jud ka'g mga Aboriginals diria bisag asa. Sila ang mga unang nilupyo diri sa kontinente o nasod. Sa pagkatinood, unom ka porsyento ang ilang populasyon. Naa silay mga talagsaong katungod ingon nga mga Unang Katawhan sa Australia maong ginasugdan sa internasyonal nga balaod.)
