Affair Sydney is a blog about the city I love. I am passionate about Sydney, its checkered past and its inspiring present. This blog is for locals who want to get to know their city more intimately. It is for travellers who may want to glimpse aspects of Sydney that they did not not know exists. Most places I visit you will see through my eyes and I will also shine a light on some of the mysteries, stories that these places hide. Enjoy..........
