Topic: 30 Days in Sydney

	Travel Information
		Sydney and its world famous harbor is a good starting point for an Australia cruise, although it is of course possible to start at other Australian ports, and also at ports outside of Australia.
		Sydney harbor, the Opera House, Bondi Beach and Watson's Bay are among the top attractions.
		Sydney is also bursting with museums, fine restaurants and excellent shopping facilities.

		This has all helped to make Sydney one of the cities where I feel most at home, but it is also one of the easiest places for a newcomer to plug themselves into.
		To understand Sydney, however, it helps to sit next to the window on a daytime flight, or take the time to look at a map — or be lucky enough to spend some time with a local.
		Sydney’s best hotels are the Regent; Hyatt; ANA; Intercontinental; the Ritz, which stands on the site of Australia’s first vineyard; and the Observatory in the Rocks.

	Observer \| A bridge too far
		Sydney, after all, can be usefully reduced to a single image: that stern, utilitarian bridge, dourly transplanted from Newcastle-on-Tyne, which confronts the unfunctionally beautiful Opera House, a coathanger and a clump of shining, singing shells.
		Here, once or twice a week, citizens of Sydney who remain unhappy in paradise jump to their deaths; the media never report these incidents, reluctant to damage the city's hedonistic reputation.
		The book reminds me of those Sydney flats which, unable to boast harbour views, are said by the anxious estate agents to possess 'harbour glimpses'.

	Reviews
		Basically what the author does is encourage his friends and his friends’ friends to confide in him and reminisce at length (a fire, a boating experience, a motorcycle theft, that sort of thing—always having to do with the four elements).
		Those tales end up weaving a sort of Sydney tapestry that the reader who is familiar with the city may or may not recognize.
		30 Days in Sydney might indeed be an antidote to the average Sydney guide, but I recommend Bill Bryson’s extremely amusing Down Under (Doubleday, 2000) as an antidote, or rather, a complement, to Carey’s book.

		Advocating sexual freedom and rejecting the conservative values of the middle classes, she became one of the bohemians of Sydney, mixing with writers, artists and intellectuals.
		(Your almanackist recalls seeing Bee in a Sydney taxi but must report that the doors appeared to be all intact.) She would also ride bicycles and motorcycles through the city in an evening dress.
		Constantly in trouble with Sydney’s police, she had more than 200 convictions recorded against her: “80 I deserved but 120 were unfair and malicious”.

	'30 Days in Sydney': Peter Carey Goes Home Again
		Were Sydney's aboriginal inhabitants, for instance, really pristine ''children of nature,'' as depicted in the romantic imagination of many Australians, or were they just as wasteful in their way as the Europeans who brutally displaced them?
		But ''30 Days in Sydney'' ranges too freely to linger on Socratic dialogues concerning the moral ambiguities of Australian history.
		And Carey is quick to point out that Sydney's checkered past is responsible for many of the qualities he admires in the city's character: ''Much of what 'Sydney' means was set in the difficult early years.

		Peter Carey spent 30 days in Sydney in 2000 and we readers are the lucky recipients of his account.
		This is a good read for Aussie expats, not least because the author is one of Australiaï¿½s more prominent contemporary literary figures, staging a return visit to Sydney from his current home in New York.
		On occasion the authorï¿½s own brand of cronyism (men relive their exploits or otherwise act out their mid life crises) is a bit irksome, but then he is well aware of such potential gripes and fends them off within the book (ï¿½Mate, youï¿½re making a big mistake talking to all these men.

	30 DAYS IN SYDNEY by Peter Carey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Reading this book is a very physical experience, as bracing as the southerly buster that sometimes batters Sydney's beauteous shores.
		Famous visual extravaganzas such as Bondi Beach, the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the Blue Mountains all take on a strange new intensity when exposed to the penetrating gaze of Peter and his friends.
		But they are not the equal of Sydney either in shape, in colour, or in variety.

	The Savvy Traveller - Bloomsbury: The Writer and the City: 30 Days in Sydney: A Wildly Distorted Account
		Examining the urban landscape as both a tourist and a prodigal son, Carey structures his account around the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—insisting on the primacy of nature to this unique Australian cityscape.
		As his quixotic account unfolds, Carey looks both inward into his past (as well as Sydney's own violent history) and outward onto the city's familiar landmarks and surroundings—the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the Blue Mountains—achieving just the right alchemy of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water to tell Sydney's extraordinary story.
		The result is a desultory, impressionistic love letter to the city, structured loosely around earth, air, fire and water (one friend protected his home from bush fires; another barely survived the "murderous seas of the 1998 Sydney-Hobart race" which sank six yachts and killed five men).

		This presentation of Sydney as seen through the eyes of an insider rather than a tourist gives the book its undeniable charm, but it is also its weakness.
		Carey admits that he cannot drive over Sydney's famous bridge without having a panic attack, a fact that is particularly significant to me since I suffer from the same problem with high bridges.
		Carey's handling of the "Aborigine problem" is particularly poignant in his discussion of Vicki, who was taken from her parents and raised by a white family.

		The fact that Carey has made New York his home for around 10 years gives 30 Days an aspect of rediscovery and perspective that makes for interesting reading, as does the fleeting look into the personal history of the author and his friends and family.
		A work mainly for Peter Carey or Sydney fanatics (of which there are probably enough of each to make this book a modest success).

	Travel - Wheeler - ABR December 2001/January 2002
		In contrast to Mordue's first big trip, Peter Carey's 30 Days in Sydney is local boy coming back from New York for a squiz at the old haunts, attempting to sum it up in terms of 'Earth and Air and Fire and Water', something you 'would never seek to define Manhattan by'.
		Numerous little tales weave their way through the book, including an account of that magical Sydney word 'Eternity' popping up in the Harbour Bridge's end-of-millennium fireworks, to the delight of Australians aware of its story and the undoubted mystification of almost everyone else who saw it.
		There's a nice tale of an unnamed NSW premier and his attorney-general handling the need for a drink after closing time by the simple expedient of endorsing the publican's licence to extend the hours from midnight until six a.m.
