Anyhow back onto Redcliffe. I used to work there as a bouncer and I can assure you that there are a lot of rough people there. There is a large Pacific Islander and aboriginal population. The people there are hard. I got on just fine with them but the area is lower socio-economic. I don't have a problem with this as that is exactly the spot me and my missus are in and we don't have any pretentions. If you don't want to live in a high crime area with lot's of unemployed, homeless youths with to much time on their hands and nothing to lose then go for it. I liked them because what you see is what you get. Redcliffe also serves as a dropping off point for people who have just got out of jail. That is no BS. The amount of times someone would come up to the door and tell us that he is out for a good time / not looking for trouble because he has just gotten out of jail was surprising for me. One time we had a fellow put two of my fellow bouncers in hospital and once we had him secured on the ground I told him he wasn't getting up until the cops arrived, that's when it got nasty. Whilst on the topic of hospitals Redcliffe's leaves a lot to be desired.
Just my observations.
