My feet are killing me

Creamed crocodile, penne pasta, or emu baguette, how does that sound?  Well, they are amongst the dishes you can enjoy at The Purple Goanna Cafe that I visited yesterday in Redfern.

I have decided to visit different places on foot, places that I don't know very well, and Redfern is one of them. The above photo is from the railway bridge. Redfern was named after William Redfern, a Canadian surgeon who came out to Australia. It is also home to a very mixed population and has previously had problems with drugs and crime and racial conflicts. Now it seems to have become  somewhat gentrified. I certainly felt completely safe walking around, but then it was broad daylight.

I certainly wouldn't mind one of these cute, old houses, with wrought iron fences.

There was this place, that I first passed once, but then on passing it a second time I just had to walk in and see what it was all about. It is a gift shop and a writer's studio for youngsters. They can get help to write their stories etc. In the gift shop they have all sorts of stuff "from Mars" and you can also get your Martian passport stamped!!!

As the title shows, it didn't do my possibly broken toe any good walking around all day, so today will be a quiet day at home. Stay tuned for more from our upcoming trip to Mudgee this weekend.
