Dunno which forum to put this. But I think I must recommend this map.
It's the best thing for people who intend on getting around sydney (especially in the suburbs) without a car.
The free maps that you get from backpackers and hotels only cover the CBD and down to Central station, nothing on the suburbs.
The size is like a lonely planet guide and not too thick and I got it for $15 from kmart. I never leave home without it, likewise my umbrella

It was great for house hunting too. Looking for a rental place in the metro area is a real chore. Last saturday I had to see 4 places between 9am and 2pm in the inner west and sydney area. This map ensured that I did not get too lost.
Got a decent place at Newtown BTW. Very happy. Now, I can focus on job hunting.
