30 Days in Sydney is a book written by Australian novelist Peter Carey. It was published in 2001 and is subtitled "A Wildly Distorted Account".
Superficially a piece of travel writing, 30 Days in Sydney is perhaps more of a view into the psyche of Carey, an Australian returning home after a seventeen-year absence, his motley crew of friends, and Sydneysiders in general.
