Steve Parish: A Discovery Guide - Sydney and Surrounds

For over 40 years, Steve Parish has traversed Australia’s highways and byways, trekked through bushland and national parks, and dived in the blue waters off the continent’s coast, all the while photographing the unique beauty of this land — who better to produce a range of guidebooks giving up-to-date firsthand information on the best Australia has to offer?

Daytrippers, domestic travellers and international visitors will love this handy, inexpensive guide to Sydney and its surrounding natural assets. But Sydney & Surrounds is more than just a travel guide — it is a discovery in itself!
The towns and cities of the Greater Sydney region have maintained a close connection as they developed unique identities based on individual history and natural surrounds. Readers will learn about the region’s rich Indigenous heritage, its industry and agricultural purposes, and the evolution and conservation of its diverse environments. All of the best campsites, lakes, attractions, historic sites, architecture, scenic drives, national parks and landmarks are packed
within the guide’s well laid-out, eye-catching pages. Throughout the region-by-region colour-coded format, full-colour photographs (taken on Steve’s own excursions) and detailed maps, help plot a journey from the scenic plateaus of the Blue Mountains in the west to the coastal splendour of Port Stephens in the north and Jervis Bay in the south. A focus on going bush details the best walking trails, waterfalls and natural attractions, while natural history breakout boxes tell readers where they’re most likely to catch a glimpse of wildlife or flora. Begin your journey of discovery today with this action-packed Steve Parish Discovery Guide.
