Assuming you mean the HMAS Sydney destroyed in World War Two, she was commissioned on 24th September, 1935.
645 people were on HMAS SYDNEY
No, assuming you mean the HMAS Sydney sunk in 1941. She ran on furnace fuel oil, which was burned to heat water, which turned steam turbines.
HMAS Sydney (not the WW2 Sydney).
The HMAS Sydney was involved in a mutually destructive engagement with the German auxiliary cruiser Komoran on November 19, 1941.

On HMAS Sydney's final trip, she embarked from Fremantle, Western Australia on escort duties for the troopship Zealandia. Sydney was returning to Fremantle at the time she was attacked by the disguised German merchant raider Kormoran.
Unfortunately not. The 'Sydney' was in action against 2 Zeppelins on may 4th 1917, off the coast of south east Scotland. HMAS Sydney fired at the Zeppelins, but ran out of ammunition before hitting either Zeppelin which were apparently flying about 14,000 feet. The shells simply couldn't get high enough and the Zeppelins rose rapidly each time they were fired on.
HMAS Duntroon was created in 1946.
HMAS Duntroon ended in 1949.
