| City Skyline, Sydney Tourist Places and InfoThe twisted streets in the lower part of Sydney are a reminder of how the village grew into a city during the early years of the colony. When Governor Lachlan Macquarie arrived in 1810, he had a grand vision for Sydney and took steps to plan grander buildings and wider and straighter streets.Governor MacquarieGovernor Macquarie was also a reformist and explorer, under him, the colony began the slow transformation from penal settlement into a city. Amongst bringing order to the burgeoning settlement, he also established others, such as Campbelltown, Windsor and Richmond.
