Without getting too weighty, where’s somewhere in Sydney that you’re often a little edgy about visiting?
It doesn’t have to be an entire area – it might be there’s a decidedly suspicious bar, street or locale that you deliberately avoid.
Share any cautionary tales you have and let everyone else know. Keep it light, though, we’re not here to drag down everyone :)

At the Quarantine Station. So bloody scary you’ll need a stash of Tena Lady on hand.
Driving on the Harbour Bridge. It’s manic, chaos, out of control. Sometimes I fear for my life.
The eastern suburbs…. my wanker alert goes off the scale…
Auburn… Shyt scary.
South West Sydney i.e.-

that list was okay but take maroubra off it, its actuley a really great family area.. just very localised
Auburn? I lived in Auburn almost all my life… I was actually born in Auburn… I really want to know what was it that you found was scary in Auburn?
Mosman….
…too soon?
Lakemba is not a scary place at all – people need to stop listening to the media so much and go to these places to see that the people are just the same as everywhere else, sorry to disappoint you.
Kings Cross at midnight.
Runners up, Redfern.
And eastern suburbs, while not really dangerous, there’s a rudeness and arrogance that makes one feel unwelcome.
Bulldogs NRL match, if you aren’t going for the dogs.
Blacktown and surrounding suburbs
Mt Druitt and surrounding suburbs
Auburn and surrounding suburbs
Bankstown
Campbelltown and surrounding suburbs
The Block at Redfern
Anywhere can possibly be dangerous, though if you are traveling in Redfern, stay out of Eveleigh Street. Central Station has the highest robberies and assault rates on trains, which by the way trains have graffiti, window etchings and are quite dirty… but public transport is good… avoid traveling on trains late at night, early morning (1am-5am) as these hours are when most assaults etc. occur. I really don’t want to scare you, Sydney is a beautiful city and I love it!! I live here and haven’t experienced anything major to worry about! :-) Just keep your wits about you and you should be fine!
