Sydney Warnings Or Dangers
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Bag snatching / Pickpockets etc: Walking in Refern
  • Tip Rating:
  • Refern is notorious for trouble, especially at night.
    If you can avoid it, then that is the best option. Otherwise, take extra care with your wallets and handbags and try to avoid eye contact with most people.
    Do not give any money to beggars as bag snatchers and pick pockets use the homeless as decoys to snatch your bag/wallet while you are giving money.
    There are also alot af assaults that take place in Redfern, so please be careful!
    If you do get into trouble, there are always guards at the Train Station.

    Spiders / Snakes / Animals: Blue Ring Octopus
  • Tip Rating:
  • Obviously the ocean has numerous dangers.
    Watch out for Blue Ring Octopus along the coast. Especially near rocks.
    Blue Ring Octopus can be deadly and at the remote places, the hospital care you will need can be too far away.
    There have been numerous sightings at the beaches along the Cronulla coast.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Booking accommodation through the Internet
  • Tip Rating:
  • Please be aware that some of the websites on the Internet advertising accommodation are request only websites. You are not booking a room when you book through them, they simply send a request for accommodation through to the hotel and the hotel will either accept or deny the request. When you book, you will probably get a confirmation number and take your credit card details, but this still does not guarantee you a room. If your booking has been rejected by the hotel/motel, the internet company should send you an email telling you, but sometimes, they don't.
    About an hour after you have made a booking over the internet, ring the hotel direct and double check that they have received your booking, even if you have put your credit card through and gotten confirmation.
    Always double check!
    You don't want your holiday turned into a search through a city for accommodation.

     I missed Sydney because of the Olympics, which left me with a reason to go back to Australia! Nice little page with good information.
