Redfern

Old and forgotten, or remembered only in passing as fashion dictates that attention should be paid to it. The inner city suburb of Redfern typifies the now cliché description of a melting pot. Home to every one, from the large indigenous population and lower income demographics, to the newly rich young entrepreneur who has decided that this inner city suburb should be the next Glebe or Balmain. A brief walk around the area of Redfern station can bring to the fore the whole gamut of emotions from hope to despair.
