A padlock is seen on a fence on the land where a a full-size replica of Beijing's Forbidden City will be built, in the Wyong region near Sydney June 16, 2013. Australia's coastal Wyong region outside Sydney, a pretty stretch of pristine beaches and wildlife-filled wetlands, isn't high on the travel agenda of most Chinese tourists. But the local mayor and a Chinese businessman have big plans to change that - by building a A$500 million ($480 million) theme park that will include the Forbidden City replica and a nine-storey temple housing a giant Buddha.
