Opera House Heritage Listed



The Sydney Opera house has been placed on the World Heritage List. It takes its place on the register among more than 800 sites of outstanding cultural and natural significance, including China's Great Wall and India's Taj Mahal.
Australia now has 17 world heritage listed sites, ranging from the Great Barrier Reef and Tasmania's south-west Wilderness, to Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Buildings.
The Sydney Opera House is the youngest building to achieve World Heritage Listing. (source ABC News)
