I don't know Sydney's climate well enough but I would have thought it was a
bit early for planting Coriander. And the only real way I've found to avoid
the bolting problem is to succession sow. It seems to be a natural bolter
IMHO.

Interesting that in an international NG we pin down location to a
single city assuming that is sufficient information. However there is
quite a difference in climate between the west and the coast.

I would give it a go you may well get some growth especially if you
are near the ocean and don't get very cold nights. If you care to go
to the trouble of starting the seeds indoors you would very likely
have success. Coriander is not frost sensitive but could be slow to
germinate if the soil is cold. At Manly I used to plant from April
til August and forget about it in the hot months.

Try planting Mexican Coriander (Etyngium foetidum) as a backup. It
doesn't bolt.

I can't tell the difference in flavour between it and true coriander.
Both belong to the same plant family, but look totally dissimilar.

Google on "Mexican coriander" for Australia only and you will find a
number of suppliers.

Sorry for the typo. It's Latin name is Eryngium foetidum.
