Now that we’ve touched slightly upon lovers etc, let’s take a hike to Kings Cross – Sydney’s centre for sleaze. Sydnesiders seem proud of the red-light district of Kings Cross, which has its fair share of hookers, strip joints and adult bookshops. The “Cross” was in the 1920s was Sydney’s bohemian mecca, but the Vietnam war and the drug boom turned it into the city’s sleazy red-light strip. The recent addition of a horde of backpackers’ hostels has hardly lifted the “atmosphere”. However, there are also lots of places to eat and drink and plenty of shops for the local community who live there, or more likely work there. (hmmm)
