Walks Into Sydney's Unexpected and Endangered Places
While tourism is growing rapidly in Australia, and Sydney is one of the centres of attraction, the city has many delights that are as hidden from the native Sydneysider as from the visitor. 'Uncovering Sydney', which covers nine walks in unfamiliar places, is a book full of happy surprises - a European garden hidden amongst suburban backyards, colonial mental hospitals, the literary gardens of Lindfield and a short walk in the corporate forest run by IBM.
'Uncovering Sydney' is also more than a tourist guide, as it addresses some of the great issues of today . . . and of the future - development, pollution and government planning, all of which threaten many of these hidden sports of beauty and of historical significance.
