This weeks walk takes me to the inner suburb of Darlinghust. It lies 2km east from the CBD, and it's a densely populated suburb, with the majority of residents living in apartments or terraced houses. Once a slum, Darlinghurst has undergone urban renewal since the 1980s to become a rather upmarket, cosmopolitan and diverse area.

Nice tour. I love australia. I really want to go visit there one day. Everyone always tells me its a great trip. Looks like a nice place to live too.

Next time mix in some people and some food too! I saw a few restaurants that looked interesting.

Kinda hard to believe that you didnt have any comments on here already.

Great pics of a lovely neighbourhood!

Really amazing, very nice tour around Sydney, Kirribilli :)

Really really nice.

nice coverage of the residential areas
and thanks for the tour.

I love this densely packed mixed-used areas. sydney is one city i really want to visit!

Nice pictures. I'm going to have to go back and see your other Sydney tours, as it seems like one of the best cities to live in (weather, natural setting, etc) and you're covering it pretty thoroughly.
