Life in Sydney
A safe, friendly home far from home
PBS is in Canley Vale, Western Sydney, about [40 minutes] from the city centre. Weekends bring the best of Australia: the Blue Mountains, beaches, Darling Harbour, Circular Quay and The Rocks, national parks and wildlife. Students also learn about Aboriginal culture, the world's oldest living culture.
