Lonely Planet writer Andy Symington explains why he loves Sydney. "Sydney is full of charms, and the wonderful thing about the city is that people make a point of getting out there and enjoying them. Beaches, harbour, bars and restaurants; it's always buzzing with multicultural Sydneysiders out for a good time. But they're out there enjoying nature too. Growing up in a bushy suburb, I've always appreciated the extraordinary amount of wild space pervading this large metropolis. Walking national park and shoreline paths is one of the city's great hidden delights, especially if you can get there on a harbour ferry, another love of mine."
