| Summary Note |
“The 2011 post code of Sydney’s inner east offers a fascinating history of high life, low life and, sometimes, very low life. All five precincts are alive with history and surprising stories. Ride the scenic roller-coaster over the snow-covered mountains of the forgotten White City at Rushcutters Bay; see the naughty boys waving their willies at the ferries approaching Wolloomooloo Bay; chase ‘peeping Toms’ in Elizabeth Bay; tap to the tunes of cabaret’s greats at the Silver Spade, Potts Point, or dare to be different in yesterday’s Kings Cross. Cultural Historian, Warren Fahey, delivers an eclectic romp through the social history of Sydney’s most famous neighbourhoods.”--Back cover. |
