    • I have lived here all my life and i love it. Some areas to avoid - Redfern without a doubt, no reason why tourists would go there anyway.
    King's Cross is an experience, just watch your back and you will be fine. The 'Cinema strip' on George St at night is dangerous - that includes from the Queen Victoria Building to Sydney RSL club i would say.
    Dodgy areas outside of the city loop:
    Bankstown and Punchbowl, dont go there if not necessary - drugs and violence occurs. Some areas of the Campbelltown district would give the Bronx a run for its money anyday - particuarly Claymore, Airds and Macquarie Fields.
    In the Penrith district Mount Druitt and Erskine Park are pretty dodgy at times.
    Most of Sydney is beautiful, just stay away from the crappy parts and you will never want to leave.
