The Redback

Thursday, May 5th, 2005
The Redback Tavern. Its reputation precedes it. I had heard it described as a meat-market, full of drunk yobbo aussies, where you are guaranteed to be groped, have drinks spilt on you and generally participate in debaucheries...oh and on Sundays ... [Continue reading this entry]
