The Australian State of New South Wales is centred on its capital, Sydney, one of the world's great cities, internationally renowned for its harbour, its bridge and the Opera House.
Sydney also has a wealth of other assets, some of them relics of its convict beginnings such as the historic precinct, The Rocks, and others the result of modern enterprise, such as popular Darling Harbour.
Sydney is the jewel in the crown of a mighty State. To the north and south of the capital are coastlines which for sheer beauty are world-beaters. Inland, the Blue Mountains offer wonderful experiences for sightseers, nature-lovers and bushwalkers. There are many national parks, areas of wild beauty and scenic grandeur throughout the State.
Here, Steve Parish presents brilliant images of Sydney and New South Wales in all their marvellous diversity of scenery, places and people. This is the first Australian State, captured in a book to inspire journeys of discovery through its riches.
