Streets of Sydney

Streets of Sydney is a book of 118 extraordinary black and white photographs depicting the life on Sydney streets, pubs, bars, galleries and around the beaches from the 1960s onwards. None of the photographs have previously been published or exhibited. Many of the streets photographed no longer exist, making this book a unique document of Sydney’s past.

Streets of Sydney ushers us into the groundfloor of human experience: in the back lanes and marketplaces, the bars and beaches of a city that has grown from a collection of suburbs to a flowing, global metropolis.” George Alexander.
