"Time Out" Sydney Guide (Paperback, 3Rev ed)

Sydney is not only one of the most physically beautiful cities in the world, it's also one of the most accessible. The mass of restaurants, cafés and bars are both innovative and reasonably priced, nightclubs are pumping and the delicious thriving gay scene with its annual Mardi Gras festival acts as a tantalising tourist magnet. Add to this blue skies, clean beaches, wicked surf and warm wine valleys and you have a hedonist's dream.

This fully revised third edition of the Time Out Sydney Guide traces the history of Sydney's rocky rise to glory. A new chapter investigates the city's long and troubled battle towards reconciliation between the European settlers and the Aboriginal people and asks why the Government refuses to say sorry.

Highlights include:

* A local's guide to Sydney's sparkling beaches.
* Explosive views: Where to go to see the best New Year's Eve fireworks extravaganza in the world.
* Sydney on film: Fox Studios brings a splash of Hollywood to Sydney's burgeoning film industry.
* A glimpse behind the scenes of Sydney's divine, extraordinary and incomparable world of drag, shimmering nightly in pubs and clubs all over town.
The guide also explores Sydney's growing arts scene, its exciting multicultural diversity and offers inside knowledge on the most fabulous places to shop, sightsee, eat, party and relax.
