'My primary mode of transport is my feet.

It's the way that I orient in the world.

It's also the way to honour being in place.'

Jazz Money

'We make a city our own by noticing.'

Gail Jones

Walking Sydney invites us to walk with a city's writers as they share places of home and imagination. From suburban streets 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, Walking Sydney is an opportunity to see the city afresh.
