Not really a danger, but a warning... public transport does stop after midnight on weekends. There are night buses, but they are unreliable, and tend to only service the outer Northern and Southern suburbs. Any other suburbs in between are not catered for. And if you are unfortunately stuck within the city on a Saturday night with not enough money for a cab or night bus home (night bus tickets are approx $6), you will have to wait until 9am Sunday for bus and train services to start. Hindley Street. Whilst the Adelaide City Council are trying their hardest to clean the city's Red Light District up, it still remains probably one of its most undesirable places. There are several strip-clubs and other notorious places of ill-repute dotted around the general vicinity. It is also a hot-spot for stabbings and general attacks. My advice is, if you are not local and look it, stay away from Hindley Street after 11pm. The Southern Parklands in the city is also a place not to be caught after-dark. With a history of brutal rapes and sexual assaults, it would be wise to steer clear of this area. The spruikers in Rundle Mall are particularly savage... you'll hear them before you see them, so when you do... RUN! :P Leave a Comment

| | | | Hindley Street: Noisy but Noice | | | | | |
Hindley Street's bark is worse than its bite. As far as city streets go, it's fairly tame and, although it has a reputation, there is very little violence to be seen or heard. There's a 24 hour police office near the Rundle Mall end, and a 24 hour McDonald's at the other, with a mild streetscape in between with restaurants, bookshops, music shops, nightclubs, shops, offices, and cinemas. Opposite Marcellina's, Adelaide's oldest pizza place, and clubfeva, which is true to its name on weekends, is my very own ground floor apartment. People walk up and down at all hours of the night, some speaking a little loudly under the influence, but most are civil. The biggest hazzards of living on the drag are the 5 am street sweeper (with noisy leaf blowers), and occasional yahoo drivers out to impress. I've been living there two months and now sleep through most of the riff-raff. My neighbour, who's been there more than a year, and claims you could write a book about the characters in our apartment block, says he wouldn't live anywhere else.
