Sydney /ˈsɪdni/ is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds the world's largest natural harbour, and sprawls towards the Blue Mountains to the west. Residents of Sydney are known as "Sydneysiders". Sydney is the second official seat and second official residence of the Governor-General of Australia, the Prime Minister of Australia and the Cabinet of Australia.
The Sydney area has been inhabited by indigenous Australians since the Upper Paleolithic period. The first British settlers arrived in 1788 to found Sydney as a penal colony, the first European settlement in Australia. Since convict transportation ended in the mid-19th century, the city has transformed from a colonial outpost into a major global cultural and economic centre.
The population of Sydney at the time of the 2011 census was 4.39 million, 1.5 million of which were born overseas, representing many different nationalities and making Sydney one of the most multicultural cities in the world. There are more than 250 different languages spoken in Sydney and about one-third of residents speak a language other than English at home.
.au is the internet country code for Australia.
The domain name was originally allocated by Jon Postel, operator of IANA to Kevin Robert Elz of Melbourne University in 1986. After an approximately five-year process in the 1990s, the Internet industry created a self-regulatory body called .au Domain Administration to operate the domain. It obtained assent from ICANN in 2001, and commenced operating a new competitive regime for domain registration on 1 July 2002. Since this new regime, any registration has to be ordered via a registrar.
Oversight of .au is by .au Domain Administration (auDA). It is a not-for-profit organisation whose membership is derived from Internet organisations, industry members and interested individuals. The organisation operates under the consent of the Australian government which has legislative power to decide the operators of electronic addressing in the country.
Policy for .au is devised by policy development panels. These panels are convened by auDA and combine public input with industry representation to derive policy.
Sydney is an American situation comedy series that aired on CBS in 1990. It was created and written by Michael J. Wilson and Douglas Wyman and starred Valerie Bertinelli, Matthew Perry and Craig Bierko.
Sydney Kells (Valerie Bertinelli), the daughter of a now-deceased policeman, brings her New York City detective agency (in which she is the only investigator) back to her hometown and her family, including her over-protective brother Billy (Matthew Perry), himself a rookie cop. As she struggles to balance her personal and professional life, the main source of her work comes from an uptight lawyer (Craig Bierko), with whom she shares sexual chemistry. She and her best friend Jill (Rebeccah Bush) frequent a neighborhood bar run by Ray (Barney Martin), her father's old police partner.
Wind tearing through the back street
I hear the rhythm of my heartbeat
Rain blowing to my face
I'm tired of being in the wrong place
Blues knocking on my back door
I can't jump from the second floor
Turn up the radio higher and higher
Rock and roll music set my ears on fire
When I was stone blue rock and roll sure helped me through
When I was stone blue rock and roll sure helped me through
Laid off work and I can't be free
I need some rock and roll therapy
Put on a 45 and let the needle ride
Juke box jumps and I'll be satisfied
When I was stone blue rock and roll sure helped me through
When I was stone blue rock and roll sure helped me through
Oh, let me ride on your mystery train
Ride through the night in the pouring rain
Rock and roll in my soul got me losing control
Let it roll
Stone Blue
Rock and roll sure helped me through
When I was stone blue rock and roll sure helped me through
Rock and roll in my soul got me losing control
Let it roll; let it roll; let it roll; let it roll
Stone Blue
Rock and roll sure helped me through
Stone Blue
Rock and roll sure helped me through
Stone Blue
Walking on a back street
Stone Blue
I hear the rhythm of my heartbeat
Stone Blue
Pick up my feet - start to run
Stone Blue
I'll be home before the morning sun
Stone Blue
Rain blowing to my face
Stone Blue
I'm tired of being in the wrong place
When I was blue - Stone Blue - rock and roll helped me through
When I was blue - Stone Blue - rock and roll helped me through
Turn up the radio - turn it up (yeah) - higher and higher
Turn it up, turn it up (yeah) higher and higher
Gotta help me through; gotta help me through; gotta help me through; you gotta help me through
Gotta help me through; gotta help me through; gotta help me through; gotta help me through
