Sydney is a must for travelers to Australia and for those who are headed there, the Guardian's Sydney correspondent provides some local, insider advice.
Get to know Sydney's coffee culture, writes Bridie Jabour.
"Sydney is not so boring as to build an entire "culture" around coffee but there is an embarrassment of excellent cafes, from Paper Plane in Parramatta to Belgrave Cartel in Manly," she says.

Don't sit idly by-there's a lot to do, so get up and walk around.
"The most stunning trek I have done anywhere in Australia is the Spit to Manly walk. It is 10km that takes you along the harbourside cliffs on the northside into Manly," says Jabour.
Visitors should definitely try some Asian cuisine.
"Thanks to immigration and the stellar quality of Australian ingredients, great Asian cuisine abounds in Sydney, from cheap lunches eaten at plastic tables to beautiful high-end restaurants," says Jabour.
You definitely have to visit the beach.
"Sydney may be be famous for its ocean beaches such as Bondi, but I think its harbour ones are the most special. Parsley Bay has a cute kiosk to buy lunch from - and as a bonus there are nets to keep pesky sharks out," she says.
