backpacking Newtown
This is a very alternate area; you will see all sorts of people walking along the main street – King Street. It is a great place to sit in a cafe and watch the locals go by, you won’t get bored! The area has some of Sydney’s best eating places with virtually any style of food available. The area backs onto the University of Sydney, which has led to a large student population in the area. Newtown also has a reasonable sized gay population and several pubs catering to this. Newtown is a hive of activity at most times of the day.
