A Heritage Field Guide
Sydney is a vibrant, bustling city, blessed with natural and man-made attractions - the harbour, beaches, Opera House, Harbour Bridge, colonial buildings and skyscrapers.
But what of the lesser-known, almost hidden attractions? The elegance of streets lined with terrace houses; the charm of Federation suburbs; stately mansions from a more gracious age; quaint workingmen's cottages; old, tangled gardens and new, landscaped harbourside parks.
All this and more is available for those who care to explore off the beaten track a little. This book brings Sydney's less obvious charms within the reach of everyone who wants to know more about this great city. A cross-section of contrasting suburbs has been chosen deliberately for inclusion in this book: The Rocks, Kings Cross to Woolloomooloo, Paddington, Darling Point, Ultimo, Balmain, Glebe, Kirribilli, North Sydney, Burwood, Parramatta, Hornsby, and Randwick.
