Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-30 00:00:00 James Steel I love Ruth Park's writing. If she rewrote the phone book I think I would enjoy reading it. I especially enjoy reading histories of places I know and have visited, which she has done so well with this book. While some parts were difficult to read (discussion of torture and corporal punishment), Ruth Park's Sydney is a beautifully written book and is well worth a read.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-31 00:00:00 Joyce Armentano One of the better books covering Sydney's history. Written as a sort of walking guide (with MAPS!), it covers both general, well-known facts about Sydney's past, plus plenty of hidden secrets and old tales which have been sucked out of our city. However, it was written in 1984 with a review in 2000, and already feels a little outdated. Is a definite must of anyone wanting to research the topic.
