BIOGRAPHY KYLIE MINOGUE


Kylie Minogue was born on May 28, 1968, in Melbourne, Australia, in a family devoted to the theater, which led her to participate in its infancy in several series of Australian television. Her main job was in the series Neighbors, one of the most successful in that country. While working in this series, it came the opportunity to record one of loans under the theme "The Loco-Motion", for Mushroom Records. The result was so good, who edited a single that went on sale and the issue remained for seven weeks at number one in the Australian.

Her first album, entitled "Kylie", managed to be the best-selling 1988 debut directly into the number one in the UK and achieving significant records in other countries like Germany, France, Australia or Spain.

In 1991 Kylie Minogue adopted a more sexy image, which made him win an even greater presence in the media. In 1997 published the album "Kylie Minogue", where for the first time Kylie writes all the lyrics and collaborates on the composition of music. Initially, this album was scheduled to appear with the title of "Impossible Princess", but coincided with the death of Princess Lady Di, and to avoid accusations of opportunism was decided to rename the disk at the last minute.

In January 2007, after recovering from breast cancer that forced her to withdraw temporarily from the stage, publishes a new double album, "Showgirl Homecoming Live" album recorded live in November 2006 in one of the concerts offered in Sydney, Australia.

SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA)


SYDNEY

Call the Queen from the Pacific, the extensive and vibrant Sydney welcomes one of the most beautiful ports in the world, with her imposing Opera like the jewel of the crown.

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and it is the center of the business and the arts. The city has all type of cosmopolitan amenity - good trade, excellent restaurants and one set night life. Located between the mountains and the sea, it offers this way an extraordinary landscape. The Ocean Pacific arrives to its golden beaches, and from there it expands an entire range of colors for the whole interior until the Blue Mountains. Besides the port, with their ships and the famous Opera of Sydney, there are also numerous interior channels and national parks.

Sydney (pronounced
/ˈsɪdniː/) is the most populous city in Australia, with a metropolitan area population of approximately 4.28 million (2006 estimate).It is the state capital of New South Wales, and was the site of the first British colony in Australia. It was established in 1788 at Sydney Cove by Arthur Phillip, leader of the First Fleet from Britain.
Topography
Sydney's urban area is in a coastal basin, which is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the East, the Blue Mountains to the West, the Hawkesbury River to the North and the Royal National Park to the South. It lies on a submergent coastline, where the ocean level has risen to flood deep river valleys (ria) carved in the hawkesbury sandstone. Port Jackson, better known as Sydney Harbour, is one such ria and is the largest natural harbour in the world.The Sydney area is not affected by significant earthquakes. The urban area has around 70 harbour and ocean beaches, including the famous Bondi Beach. Sydney's urban area covers 1,687 km2 (651 sq mi) as at 2001. The Sydney Statistical Division, used for census data, is the unofficial metropolitan area and covers 12,145 km2 (4,689 sq mi).This area includes the Central Coast, the Blue Mountains, and national parks and other unurbanised land.
Climate
Sydney has a temperate, oceanic climate with warm summers and cool winters, and rainfall spread throughout the year. The weather is moderated by proximity to the ocean, and more extreme temperatures are recorded in the inland western suburbs. The warmest month is January, with an average air temperature range at Observatory Hill of 18.6-25.8 °C (65.5-78.4 °F) and an average of 14.6 days a year over 30 °C (86.0 °F).
Demographics
The 2006 census reported 4,119,190 residents in the
Sydney Statistical Division, of which 3,641,422 lived in Sydney's urban area.Inner Sydney was the most densely populated place in Australia with 4,023 persons per square kilometre. The statistical division is larger in area than the urban area, as it allows for predicted growth. A resident of Sydney is commonly referred to as a "Sydneysider".
