Meeting Australia (and other such stories): Redfern

Today Valerie and I set our sights on Redfern and ambitiously walked over from Glebe. It took us about an hour to get there and we popped our heads into second hand clothing stores, vegetarian restaurants, and weird 'religious' organizations. At this so called religious institution they had a shop selling jewelery and things like "Dragon Blood" (I'm including pictures). We went to an Indian vegetarian restaurant where I tried a vegetable Samosa (which was delicious) and different Indian desserts (which I didn't love). We stopped at a second hand store that looked like it was in fact a costume store, and on their sale rack I found a pair of leather pants. As a joke, I tried them on. They fit me like a glove, were 15 dollars, and I just find the idea of wearing leather pants hilarious. So.... I bought them! And... I was introduced to an incredible flower that grows here whose name I can't remember! Pictures included below.
