@ the darlington prancer – thanks for the history lesson, I didn’t realise Darlington was so old.

To me, it’s a semi-suburb. However that is just my opinion, I lived in Redfern and it always seemed like ‘Darlington’ was just a label that added $100 000 to your house price…

Darlington is a very real suburb whose existence predates the University of Sydney’s expansion to that side of city rd by over a century.

The uni bought most of it in the 70’s and 80’s, which made an already small suburb (like Chippendale) seem even smaller. But Redfern Heights it is not.

Much respect to Darlington residents past and present.

Haha I am ashamed to say my latte art skills are rubbish. I appreciate a pretty coffee though, that’s for sure.

Yes, that’s marketing. Redfern shopping centre is now called ‘Surry Hills Shopping Village’…

I like tripod too, it’s solid and the staff are friendly. I would say give them both a try if you ever get a chance.
