Travel Guide

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 theyre most likely to catch a glimpse of wildlife or flora. Begin your journey of discovery today with this action-packed Steve Parish Discovery Guide.
