Worst area you have been to?

In Melbourne, the Werribee 'Birdcage' - a series of streets which all have bird names - is a scary place. It isn't far from the Werribee Railway Station, another place scary enough by day. I wouldn't ever want to go there at night.

In some Australian cities, it isn't far from nice streets with well-kept suburban houses, shops, cafes, restaurants and the like to find yourself in a bad area. For example, I love Sydney city, but its only a short walk south to a really bad area surrounded by Redfern, Surry Hills, Chippendale and Waterloo.

Brisbane is a beautiful city and I mostly feel safe there, but some streets in Fortitude Valley made me feel very uneasy even though it is on the edge of the CBD. Adelaide's southern beachside suburbs are stunning but take one wrong turn then another and another heading away from the ocean, and you might find yourself in a rough area very quickly. In Perth, the large suburb of Bentley in the inner southern suburbs has some nice areas and is a major educational, administrative and business center but there are some blocks of streets that it is wise to avoid or move through as soon as possible.

Woodridge and Beenleigh south of Brisbane are best to avoid.

Woodridge and Beenleigh south of Brisbane are best to avoid.

The Logan area in general where Woodridge and Beenleigh are located seems to be 'disputed territory', but in the reverse of how this usually works. People from Brisbane claim that Logan is part of the Gold Coast, while people from the Gold Coast claim that Logan is part of Brisbane.

Katowice Poland. Only went through there on a train from Wroclaw to Krakow but it looked rough.

A few northern suburbs of Perth I wouldn't be comfortable being in during the day let alone at night.
