What is the Sydney Australia subway system called?
Sydney does not have a "subway" system per-se. For rail transport, it has a series of suburban rail lines (called CityRail) that go underground at certain points. To make a comparison between New York and Sydney, CityRail is unlike New York's subway system and more akin to Metro-North. Sydney also has a light rail system that has a few underground sections. However, if by "subway" you mean rapid transit system, this cannot be classified as one either, as it is mainly street-running with at-grade crossings.
