THE CON'S OF SYDNEY

by bennyAok - last update: May 16, 2004

BE AWARE- Aboriginal ghettos.

When visiting Australia particularly as a "white fella" (Aboriginal term for a corrasion) , make sure NOT TO pass through areas where they dominate as a population.

Their hatred towards Europeans (whom they believe stole Australia off them) is immense. when in Sydney keep in mind that the area around REDFERN station is one of these areas.

This area is so dangerous that we have been told that even the police do not dare pass.

TRAIN NETWORK-

In general the trains are cheap to travel on. However the City Rail Network is ridden with trains that are constantly late. The models of trains in service are so old and out dated that up to 80% of services with in the city can be delayed &/ or cancelled at the one time. City Rail staff are also very un-informative due to lack of training.

When travelling it is advised to take this in account.

MARIJUANA HEAVEN-

Forget Amsterdam 5% of ALL Australian GDP derives from illegal marijuana production.

Common are vast areas of bush land with illegal marijuana crops They are there and common but hidden deeper within the bush.

It is also possible to request self marijuana testing kits at chemists. And police also test people for driving under the influence of marijuana.

Marijuana is easily available at stations (particularly on coastal areas).

Unlike Amsterdam it is cheap but be warned it is of concentrated quality and could be harmful to physical as well as mental health.

 There are some wild dog or Dingos in OZ in remote farming areas they are few in No/s these dogs usually escaped and been lost. These dogs are picked up as they are a pest to farmer's animals not men. Commonsence should be taken world wide when near a dog.
