Sydney is the site of Australia's first university: the University of Sydney was established in Sydney in 1850 and remains one of Australia's most prestigious universities. There are five other public universities operating primarily in Sydney: the University of New South Wales, Macquarie University, the University of Technology, Sydney, the University of Western Sydney, and the Australian Catholic University (two of whose five campuses are in Sydney). Other universities which operate secondary campuses in Sydney include the University of Notre Dame Australia and the University of Wollongong.

NSW Police Corporation have long been a blight on Sydney's otherwise tolerable face. They started out as a big zit to keep convict founding-fathers from getting rampaged by Aborigines, and have in recent years morphed from benign tumours into huge metastasizing cancerous globules. They are better armed than 43% of the world's nations, and are known to frequent happy communities in Inner South and Western Sydney, laying the baton on the jaw of unfortunate young lads just coolin' in the streets.
