Apart from a few dilapidated suburbs,
Sydney no longer has slums as it was traditionally
created. . On the other hand, the barrier is the

of each national and ethnic group represented. After the
sheep boom in the second half of the 19th century and the discovery of
gold in the 1950s, the colonies prospered and joined the
Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. Except for a
approximately 70-year period between 1860 and 1930, when Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, had
population, wealth and political importance, it was considered the
capital of Australia. However,
south-west of Sydney is about 60 km of flat, fairly deserted suburbia, which
stands in stark contrast to the tinseltown areas of the city and the wealth and advantage of the
northern suburbs. The first
economic and population boom, coinciding with the discovery of
gold in the 1850s, was followed by a
depression in the 1860s, when Sydney's first large
slums appeared. It has a rich and very well-documented history of traditional urban slums and
their transition from poverty to mixed-income status;
history of multicultural development, which gave a lot to both the city and the nation; and the rather deep regional segregation of social and
income groups through globalization and through which slums may appear in the future. The transportation period until 18

society based on condemned labor and agricultural production.
