Australian Addicts Unite

Not compared to overseas though.

Sydney isn't as safe as Central London at night.

Sure you could walk around and nothing might happen, but things do happen.

Even things like leery men make me uncomfortable by myself.

It's not exactly sensible walking around the city by yourself at night. I know people who have had problems in Sydney and Melbourne on their own at night (including a friend who was raped).

you can't really generalise like that....eg. sydney isn't as safe as central london.....i'm not down with that at all.....it's not exactly sensible to walk around any city by yourself at night....let alone pretend to know what the hell you're talking about

 

[Natalia]

What? I'm confused. Maybe it's the lack of sleep.

All I am trying to say is that when I was younger (19/20), I was fine walking around London by myself at all times of the day and night, and using public transport.

In Australia I would never do that, and have noticed a lot more people are apprehensive about doing it.

Of course any city is dangerous at night.

I'm not really understanding why you are taking issue with an off-hand comment from a few days ago.

 

[Joey's Pizza?]

woah! didn't mean to get so serious.....

[quote name='Joey's Pizza?' date='Apr 28 2005, 10:29 AM']i kind of disagree....i don't know you're area at all but where i live it is perfectly sage to catch the train and/or bus at any hour....or even to walk, maybe i'm deluded or maybe i'm just not making Australia out to be a really dangerous place. This may sound crazy but maybe the inner-city of sydney is more safe than canberra....or are you just making it out to be worse than it is??

EDIT: because sage has nothing to do with saFety!

I meant that you seemed upset about a comment that really didn't mean anything. It all started because I said I wasn't comfortable catching a bus by myself at night, and that I felt safe doing it in London, but not in Australia. And that's the truth. I felt safer living in London.

My Australian friends who came to visit me thought it was really strange how safe it was in the city at night, and were surprised when I didn't want them to accompany me home at night.

sorry have to disagree there, i dont know where your hanging in Mel, but i used to catch the last train (12.25am) home every night from work from flinders (fo those who dont know flinders is the central train station in the city) an i would walk/tram it there from st kilda and carlton depending where i was working that night, and not once did i have any problems nor did i ever feel scared....

if anyone wants to talk about unsafe areas in australia, walk around redfern in sydney at night - then you'll know scary.
