== Anime and Manga ==▼
▲== Anime ==
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' and the many sequels. Sydney was destroyed in a [[Colony Drop]]. It appears in ''Stardust Memories'' as a giant bay, an extension of the Pacific Ocean.
== Comic Books ==
* For a period in the late '80s the ''[[X-Men]]'' went further underground than usual and operated out of a hidden base in the outback (requisitioned from a band of cyborg Road Warrior rejects) with the aid of a mysterious [[Magical Native American|Magical Indigenous Australian]] teleporter. This was one of the few places where they mixed up both Sydney and the outback. (Odd, considering Chris Claremont has been to Sydney.)
* When ''[[Young Justice (comics)|Young Justice]]'' visited the Sydney Olympics, there were kangaroos bounding through the Olympic Village (which was seemingly situated on the side of a cliff within easy eyeshot of Sydney Harbour).

* The page quote comes from famous Australian writer [[Australian Literature|Henrey Lawson's]] poem "Sydney-side". Three guesses what it's about.▼
* ''[[Tomica Hero Rescue Fire]]'' Episode 37 one of the battles is set in Sydney. Super Jet Falcon and Gaia Leon did the Final Rescue.
* ''[[Lost]]'' had a number of flashbacks set there. (Especially since most of the main characters had wound up in Australia, and taken the plane, bound for Los Angeles, that crashed on the island.) In one flashback, we see the skyline—complete with the Sydney Opera House—in the distance (courtesy of CGI).
Line 50 ⟶ 47:
* ''[[Pizza]]'' is a comedy about working-class Sydneysiders.
* ''[[My Place]]'' is a historical childrens' program that starts in modern Sydney, but also features the Sydney site before the actual city was built.
