To find his feet in Sydney, presenter Toby Amies enrols in surf school at Bondi Beach and meets artist and novice surfer Mai Long. After helping her through a bout of painter's block, Toby attends a gallery opening with Mai's larger-than-life art dealer Ray Hughes to get the lowdown on contemporary Australian-Asian art. Toby gets an insight into Sydney cuisine when society caterer Savva Savvas foolishly persuades Toby to help cater the launch of the Sydney Arts Festival. After a night hobnobbing with the city's creative elite, Toby wakes up in Sydney's only nude B&B.
Toby gets out and about on the water with Dr. Olivia de Bergerac, who takes him swimming with dolphins in order to calm his frenetic brain waves, and invites him to crew in a twilight yacht race and enjoy the scenery on a stormy Sydney Harbour. Street photographer Peter Moyle, who's been chronicling the colourful characters of Kings Cross for 12 years, shows Toby the city's underbelly on a photographic safari of Sydney's notorious nightlife district.
Former Australian heavyweight wrestling champ Big Phil Picasso, coaxes a reluctant Toby into the ring and teaches him the moves that have made him the 'King of Aussie Biffo'. Toby visits pyrotechnic wizard Fortunato Foti at his firework factory, and launches a magnificent firework display from a barge in Sydney Harbour to celebrate the opening of Sydney's Gay Games.
