Each Friday, we’re listing 5 Tweeps we think will satisfy your hankering for travel inspiration and wisdom. In this, our tenth instalment, we’re sharing the feeds that will help you make the most out your next trip to Sydney.

Remember, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas and San Francisco have all received the Cheapflights #FollowFriday treatment – be sure to check them out if you haven’t already.

@SydneyTimeOut We’ve got to hand it to them, Time Out are great at what they do. Over 20,000 people grab their Sydney event news and reviews from their feed – and they don’t have to trawl through any conversations or RTs to get what they’re after. Join them.

@thesydneymag The Sydney Morning Herald used to be the Southern Hemisphere’s bastion of journalistic standards, but more recently it’s garnered a reputation for gossip and racy headlines. Democracy’s loss is the traveller’s gain. The counterpart feed of the paper’s glossy monthly magazine [http://thesydneymagazine.smh.com.au/default.htm] not only keeps you up to date with the latest in Aussie celebrity affairs, but also lets you in on a few great city tips. The 10 weekend ideas they’ve shared today being a great example.

@BaRsInSyDnEy Imagine a feed that delivered insight into bars and drinks in Sydney and nothing else – we’d recommend a feed like that unreservedly. Unfortunately Sydney’s Best Bars isn’t that feed. Don’t get us wrong, every now and then they’ll produce a little gem of tweet telling of a bar that you really ought to check out. The only problem is you’ll have to suffer a lot of RT and social media workshop ad ‘noise’ to get it.

@sydneyfoodtruck Those who read last week’s Follow Friday post will know we like our street food – after all, we excitedly shared a Twitter feed dedicated to broadcasting where San Fran’s street food vendors pop up. We’re delighted to say Sydney has a similar feed for the city’s vaunted food trucks. Follow for news and reviews and the all important locations and times you’ll need to track them down.

@Viator_Sydney As you can probably tell from the handle, this is the official Sydney feed of the ticket company Viator. Why then are we recommending it? Well, out of towners can quickly use it to bring themselves up to speed with Sydney’s biggest attractions. A quick scan of its recent tweets is like a crash course on the best things to do in Sydney.
