Sydney City & Coast Guides
Sydney’s character is shaped by the meeting of city and water. Harbour foreshores, ocean headlands, historic neighbourhoods and coastal paths sit alongside everyday urban life.
This journal brings together guides to Sydney’s city and coastal environments — from harbour walks and oceanfront headlands to architecture, neighbourhoods and places shaped by the meeting of land and water. The focus is on understanding what you’re seeing as much as where you’re going.
The articles here explore how Sydney’s built and natural environments connect: how coastal paths link suburbs, how history is embedded in the landscape, and how different parts of the city reveal themselves when explored on foot. These guides are designed for visitors and locals alike who want to experience Sydney beyond the obvious highlights.
Sydney Nimble Tours visits Waverley cemetery due to it being above and beyond your ordinary cemetery. It is also located adjacent to some quality Sydney beaches. It can be included in our Sydney Bespoke Tour and contains many interesting features, including the Irish memorial.
Sydney Nimble Tours recently visited the National Art School. This fine collection of colonial buildings once housed Sydney’s notorious criminals.
