| |  | | Liverpool was a long way from Sydney. The 32 kilometres (20 miles) that separates the two doesn't seem as far as it once did. The fertile plains west of Sydney have produced a modern, contemporary, multicultural city that retains its agricultural roots. Sticking to the national playbook of spending leisure time outdoors, there is no shortage of places to break from city life. To put the outdoor obsession in perspective, visiting one new park every week would keep you occupied for nearly six years. Get your daily water intake at the Georges River, Moore Lake, or the Chipping Norton Lakes. The adventurous can grab their board and head to the skate park. | |  | | |
