This is the red light district of Sydney, and can either be notoriously dangerous or fun. We chose the fun side, as we went down to the Burbon and Beefsteak for drinks, and then to an East Indian Eatery, then back to the B&B for more booze, and then the train back to Cronulla.
The Sproukers lining the street in 'The Cross' trying to recruit us to 'watch' live sex shows and other XXX features. Hookers, out in abundance ( prostitution is legal here), whilst herion deals going on around you, and junkies in 'zombie mode' walking about.
All right in front of you, and there, this is normal activity. Just never ever take an alley, or get off the main track. What a place! However would have felt better with a PPK in my pocket.
It was safety in numbers, and a 'couple' thing too. We really had fun. For those of you that have been and seen this place (tourists and US Military Forces from various ships and carriers docked in the Harbour), this must stir some happy memories. Almost like Amesterdam. It was good to get home, but a litte hung over this morning.
