Walking from Redfern Station (1 Viewer)

[stolenhotelpen]

Hi all

Just wondering of those who walk from Redfern Station to the Darlington campus, which route do you take?

I'm worried I'll get lost as I've only walked it once and can't really remember how to get there ><

Replies asap would be appreciated!

i'm not sure of the street directions, but the way i found my way was by following other students

Look in the Redfern safety thread. I've posted direction on the second last page and it's probably been said a million other times in there, lol.

 

[stolenhotelpen]

so there's just a bunch of youngish people, and you just follow them? i guess that's a good bet.

just nervous haha.

Redfern Station, New South Wales, Australia to The University Of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia - Google Maps

Ignore the blue line. As long as you make the right turn at Codrington Street and walk a few metres in that direction you should get there fine. If in doubt just follow people wearing USyd hoodies/shirts, haha xD

Follow where everyone else goes, there's no way you'll get lost. Everyone basically takes the same route and there's almost always students around.

No, that's not right, you turn into Shephard and then you're on campus.

That's going the loooong way around.

Thanks
I'm just a bit jittery about the whole 'starting uni' and 'enrollment' thing. The last thing I want is to follow a bunch of non-students, not going to USYD, and end up lost haha.

iono, i was kinda lost on which way to go at first, then i just followed 2-3 people wearing backpacks and all, it led me to the right place

Well absolutely EVERYONE turns there.

Don't you find it odd you end up walking by yourself, lol?

It's not a shortcut, you turn and the uni sign is just down the rooad and you walk past the engo buildings on one side and child care centre on the other.

Maybe you're mixing up streets

follow everyone,

you cant get lost.

my first time i walked from redfern to syd uni, i got mugged

 

[stolenhotelpen]

So it's:

Lawson Street, left onto Abercrombie Street, right onto Shepperd Lane, and you're there?

Is that where the boardwalk is?

Yeah, maybe. I remember last time I got there by following someone but couldn't remember what the street name was.

You're kidding right?

You're kidding right?

The person who posted that comment is the same person involved in a "who's still drunk" thread. I'd say, ignore it

NO, you go into Shepherd street. The shepherd lane is too early.

 

[stolenhotelpen]

NO, you go into Shepherd street. The shepherd lane is too early.

Ooh, thanks for that correction! I would have made the first right turn.

The route is here: Map of New South Wales | whereis.com.

okay, so the link didn't connect to the mapped out route, but i think i'm the only one worried haha. sorry for being a nuisance everyone! i was just nervous - now i'm excited about subs and finalising enrollment, etc. thanks
