Synopsis
This portrait of Sydney describes a city surrounded by myth. The author outlines Sydney's development from penal colony to metropolis, the precarious sense of economic uncertainty, the underlying crime and bigotry and other changes in Sydney society.

My copy has a different cover.

Picked up at yesterday's Uncon in Birmingham. I'm going to Sydney in November (wheeee! *claps hands*) so this will be interesting background reading.

A big Thank You to AnglersRest and other committee members for organising a fantastic day. :)

Journal Entry 3 by dododumpling from St. Neots, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Monday, September 18, 2006
A chatty, informative guide to Sydney's history, geography, sights and characters.

I loved the front cover (as AnglersRest says, it's different from the one shown here) and the aerial photograph of the Harbour Bridge; but I felt the book would have benefitted from a couple of really good maps of the areas Morris discussed.

RELEASE NOTES:

I took this with me to the Cambridge meet up last week. I'm not sure whether it was picked up from the table of books or whether it was released somewhere in the city centre on our release walk.
