Long journey home from Newport to Redfern on a Saturday
It was one of those bendy buses which must be quite a task to drive. Traffic was bumper-to-bumper and, so it seemed, young people poured onto the bus, mostly carrying bottles of alcohol, unopened. Once they were on, they started drinking. They even had a sculling contest. It was incredible behaviour. In my 39 years in inner-city Redfern, I have never seen that sort of behaviour. I was sh-- scared. I finally made it home about midnight. I was so pleased that the State Government has not increased the size of the Spit Bridge. Why encourage them to come into the City? The Northern Beaches needs our help! Any ideas?
