Discover Sydney & New South Wales

Swandive at Bondi or `go glamour' at Tamarama: swim with the cool kids at Sydney's superb beaches.
Explore lunar plains, outback dunes, sun-soaked coasts and moss-cloaked rainforests.
Follow your nose: we've sniffed out the best coffee, loveliest wine and freshest produce.

In This Guide:

1800 hours of research by six Australian travel writers (geologists, journalists, architects and novelists).
One leading environmental scientist and climate change expert, Tim Flannery.
130 words in local `lingo': tell the difference between a larrikin, a dag and a shark biscuit (you'll meet them all at one pub).
500 divine national parks: trek, mountain-bike, 4WD and camp, eco-style.
