Cityhobo was formed to let you know more about Sydney, and to take the hard work out of deciding where to live or finding out what's around.

Cityhobo offers you a one stop shop on 56 Sydney suburbs.

Each suburb will appeal to different types of people - singles, professionals, students, families, executives, gays and lesbians, and travellers.

What do you want?:

So, do you want something cool or quiet, laid back or happening, family oriented or full of bling? Live music or parks? Beach or the inner city?

What's on offer?:

We make recommendations on where to eat or get a good cup of coffee/tea so you can feel like a local straight away. Get information on rental costs in each of the profiled suburbs. Plus, find out about public transport, the main streets and shops, doctors, dentists, chiropractors and osteopaths, physiotherapists, naturopaths and masseurs, vets, gyms and yoga facilities, schools, child care, council services, cultural centres, markets, parks, sports clubs and places of worship in those suburbs.

Daily Tip:

We also offer a Daily Tip recommending good places to visit, to shop, or to grab a bite or a drink. It’s all about discovering the huge variety Sydney has to offer. There’s a new recommendation every day.

What's on?:

If you want to find out what’s coming up in Sydney, join the cityhobo mailing list. Each month you'll get an email highlighting some of the events in and around Sydney. It's a great way to get to know and understand Sydney.

Take a hike:

Got some spare time up your sleeve or just a few days or hours to kill? Then put on your walking shoes, grab your camera and check out the 21 day trips we recommend in Top 21. Most destinations are accessible from the city centre with public transport. They will introduce you to some of the best that Sydney has to offer.

Meet up:

If you are new to Sydney and want to meet or talk to other newcomers or just make new friends, then get onto the Hobo Forum. It’s got a book club; food club; mothers’ club; drinks club; movie club; outdoors club; religion club. Use the forum to look for a new flatmate or place to live; to advertise something to sell;  to find or suggest kid friendly places; and to give others your tips, or just express your opinion. Moving is hard. It can be lonely. Remember, it’s never too late to make new friends. In the words of Ben Stiller from the 'Starsky and Hutch' movie - "Do it. Do it."
