Sydney - Rough Guide

Rough Guides’ guide to Sydney is the best companion to any visit to this vibrant, scenically compelling city. Although Canberra is Australia’s seat of government, Sydney nevertheless acts like the country’s capital, with a thriving CBD, a high-profile gay community, great variety in its lively neighbourhoods and a tangible sense of history, from the colonial relics around The Rocks to the cave paintings of Australia’s native culture, barely a boomerang-throw from the Opera House.
The Observer, London: 'Voted best worldwide city...Margo Daly, a Sydneysider, captures that vigour and excitement.'
