Frog Hollow - Cnr Of Albion Street & Riley Street - Surry Hills
Frog Hollow, at Albion and Riley Streets in Surry Hills, was long written up in Sydney newspapers as a dense lane-and-terrace pocket and later as a target for slum clearance. Contemporary photographs of the corner sit alongside digitised cuttings from the Australian Star, Sydney Morning Herald, Daily Telegraph and other papers. This post gathers those Frog Hollow images and press clippings.
Boy Has This Place Changed, Even Since I Was Young. This Is Where I Spent My First Christmas Alone After I ran Away From Boarding School In 1993.
I Was 15, It Was Christmas Eve & Both My Parents Had Bombed Themselves Out On Sleepers, Valiums, Rohypnols....
Whatever....
Needless To Say They Slept Right Through Till Boxing Day Night...
So There I Am In The Old Frog Hollow....
& It Was Really Quite Scary... I Met This Aboriginal Girl Who Lived In A Tent Like Thing In The Corner Of The Park Section...
For The Life Of Me I Can't Remember Her Name...
But She Was Homeless & I Remember She Took Me Under Her Wing That Night & We Got Drunk On Passion Pop.
She Took Me Right Around Kings Cross. I Got To Meet A Lot Of Working Girls & Other Homeless People..
I Remember Arriving Back To Queens Park Hilton About Lunchtime On Christmas Day Exhausted & Hungover. & That Was My Christmas 1992
