My Guide by Marpessa
When I was in Sydney I travelled by myself, did it my way. But I did buy a guide book before leaving and found that it came in very handy.It was Lonely Planet's 'Sydney (Condensed)' (2nd ed. June 2002). The maps and information were spot on. The suggested itineraries for walks were great and very helpful. It was also how I found my accommodation. While you can still get the 'Condensed' guide, the most recent edition (Nov. 2004) is now called 'Best of Sydney' - I recommend this guide for anyone who is planning a short trip to Sydney.
