if you have time (and want the exercise) go and walk to and from redfern or central....thats what im going to do - walk to central, if time permits..

thats the problem these days - we never get to "smell the roses" and enjoy the atmosphere. we always want the quickest way from A to B

What did they say or do? how many of them were there?

it depends on where u are u c, eg. if ur near carlslaw- then u can catch a bus to central from city road (under the wentworth bridge) or if its closer- u can also catch a bus from parrammatta road. but these buses cost like 80cents.

also there are security shuttle busses that run after 4pm i think- and it takes u to redfern for free. :D
cool...i'd prolly be around Wentworth..so yeah, it's gonna be ok :)

I wasn't there exactly, because he was about a block ahead of me (he insisted on running, but he's fitter than me, so he was ahead), he explained that there were a small group of them, I would speculate atleast 3 or 4, and they basically stepped in front of him and non-verbally intimidated him (body language etc.), but he said that he just stepped out of the way and kept jogging.
