Walking Sydney invites you to walk with a city's writers as they share their places of home and imagination. From the streets of the suburbs to the shores of the harbour, as we walk amid diasporas, countercultures, activists, artists, dreamers and thieves, the city comes alive with story.

Written by Belinda Castles from walks taken with fifteen writers, this is an opportunity to see the city afresh through the eyes of those who know it best. Each walk reveals a different Sydney—intimate, surprising, and rich with personal and cultural history.
