Sydney
the story of a city
Popularity 1
In a broad sweep Geoffrey Moorhouse takes the reader from long before the arrival of the First Fleet loaded with convicts in 1788, to the preparation for the Olympics in 2000. In between he also describes and analyses the life of Sydney as we reach a new century and concludes that Sydney represents 'our very last chance to get the urban thing more or less right'; the opportunity for a great polyglot community to life together in harmony.
