Sydney - Around the Harbour (PDF Chapter)
This is the Around the Harbour chapter from Lonely Planet’s Sydney guide-book.
Sure, it’s a stretch to call this large, disparate area a ‘neighbourhood’, but the harbour is such an integral part of the Sydney experience that we felt it was worth highlighting in this way.
